If you want to see where bad gun policy ends up, Colion Noir says don’t look at theory. Look north.
In a new breakdown, Colion Noir walks through what’s unfolding in Canada. And it’s the kind of story that starts with “common sense” and ends with police at your door.
Here’s the headline number: 98%.
That’s how many Canadian gun owners reportedly refused to comply with the government’s latest firearm “buyback” program ahead of the March 31, 2026 deadline.
And if you’re thinking that kind of rejection would make policymakers pause… Yeah, no. Instead, officials made it clear what comes next: “collection.”
Not voluntary. Not optional. Collection. As Noir puts it, that’s not a buyback, that’s confiscation with better branding.
According to the Canadian government, only about 2.5% of affected firearms were declared out of an estimated two million. That’s not a slow rollout. That’s a flat-out rejection.

But rather than scrapping the plan, authorities signaled they’ll lean on law enforcement. Potentially including off-duty and even retired officers to go door-to-door and take possession of those firearms.
Which raises a pretty obvious question: If it’s voluntary… why is anyone showing up at your house?
That’s the disconnect Noir hammers on throughout the video. And it’s not just about this one policy. It’s about the progression.
First, registration. Then restrictions. Then bans. Then “buybacks.” And eventually, collection. Step by step. Sound familiar?
Noir points out that this didn’t happen overnight in Canada. Back in 2010, politicians were reassuring gun owners that nobody was coming for their firearms. Fast forward to 2020: bans. Then 2022: handgun freezes.
Now? Police knocking on doors. Here’s where it gets even messier.
According to the reporting highlighted in the video, even Canada’s own Public Safety Minister admitted, on tape, that the program may not be worth the cost and could be more about politics than public safety.
Not exactly a confidence booster. Meanwhile, some law enforcement agencies have reportedly pushed back, declining to participate in enforcement efforts. That matters.

Because as Noir points out (and as we all know), this isn’t about criminals. It’s about law-abiding citizens, people who followed the rules until the rules changed. Again.
So what does this mean for U.S. gun owners? Trouble if the wrong politicians take control. Because they’ve floated the same policies here: magazine bans, “assault weapon” restrictions, buybacks.
Same roadmap. The only real difference? The United States has the Second Amendment. For now. And that’s the underlying message here. Not panic. Not hype. A warning.
Because once a registry exists… history says it rarely stays just a list. And once “voluntary” starts involving uniforms and front doors… Well, at that point, the mask is off.

the cleveland mayor tried that years ago, he got a local judge to sign off on it on a friday late afternoon. the police were supposed to go to the homes that had registered their guns under another previous city order, well the head of the local police union said he wasn’t going to let police endanger themselves to violate the constitution and told the mayor no! so it could happen here since the law means nothing to the left, just the goal.
