Those firearms never came from the legal Canadian market to begin with. These measures would have done absolutely nothing to prevent the shooting.

Also from what I can see there is no guarantee of payment for participating in the program. Even those who are willing to turn anything in will be extremely hesitant to send anything in without guarantee of payment.

And finally, if anyone turns in their firearm or receivers, I strongly recommend that you crush the lowers in a vise or cripple them in such a way that they cannot be made usable again. If anything makes my blood boil more than the waste of public funds this thing is, it is the idea of POS criminals stealing from the post office and getting their irresponsible hands on a functional firearm.
