Alberta won’t enforce federal firearm buyback

BY The Canadian Press, Sep 24, 2025 1:53 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

The Alberta government is calling a federal gun buyback program an ``attack on law-abiding firearms owners.'' A pilot project in Nova Scotia will be open to eligible gun owners in parts of Cape Breton before being rolled out nationwide.

Participants can either deactivate their firearm using a licensed gunsmith or return it to police.

Alberta Justice Minister Mickey Amery and Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis say the province will not be enforcing the ``gun grab,'' and they expect law enforcement to focus on violent criminals, not hunters and sport shooters.
