Hi John,

We want to know what YOU think about Ottawa’s gun confiscation.

The government just released the results of its gun ban pilot project in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. After banning more than 2,500 hundred different makes and models of firearms since 2020, the federal government ran a six-week pilot project in Cape Breton to collect firearms from individual owners.

The government aimed to confiscate 200 firearms during the pilot project. It only collected 25.

The federal government agreed to give at least $149,760 to the Cape Breton Regional Municipality to carry out the confiscation.

Experts put the total cost of the national confiscation to taxpayers at more than $6 billion. But law enforcement experts have stated the program won’t make Canadians safer.

The union representing RCMP members says Ottawa’s program “diverts extremely important personnel, resources, and funding away from addressing the more immediate and growing threat of criminal use of illegal firearms.”

Now that the results are in from the pilot project, we want to know what you think with this quick one-question survey.

The survey only takes a few seconds, but your voice helps us keeps pressure on the federal government.

Do you think Ottawa should scrap the gun ban and confiscation program?

Thanks for fighting for taxpayers!

Sincerely,
