The period for gun owners to declare interest in a federal program offering compensation for turning in or permanently deactivating their guns begins today.
Since May 2020, Ottawa has outlawed about 2,500 types of guns, including the AR-15, on the basis they belong only on the battlefield.
Public Safety Canada says firearm licence holders will be notified of the declaration period, which lasts through to March 31st, and how they can take part.
