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.

Nazi germany and hitler again. 🖕
Just remember it was the U.S. Republicans who banned full auto weapons under Reagan and banned assault rifles under Busch those where the two biggest gun bans ever passed in the U.S. Something the Far Right Fanatics ignore with red faces.
The cradle of civilization is failing. Great Britain, France, Ireland are being pushed to civil war primarily due to insane immigration policies. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a JFK worthy speech called the course of Europe a “managed decline.” Just what the handlers of that creepy old fool Biden was doing with the open border in the US.
Canadians are overly polite cowards when it comes to standing up for themselves. I just hope when…if… the time comes that Americans still have spines…
I love it that the gunowners in Canada are resisting, just like the gunowner in the blue states in the US.
The end point of gun control is the end of gun ownership. That resulted in 35,000 Iranian protesters killed by their own government. Years ago the same thing happened in China’s Tianamin Square. Totolatrian governments tolerate no disent. An armed populace does not tolerate a government that kills it’s own people. Governments that deny citizen gun ownership invariably become totolatian and will invariably deny regime change with violence. Citizen gun ownership backed up with a strong second amendment is the only way to insure our freedom. Neither trust nor vote for a party advocating citizen disarment! Bryan Ivlow
Canadian’s have a long history of trusting their government and being good citizens. That worked up until socialists and communists took charge. Even the original “trustworthy-ish” government had been slowly and successfully trying to disarm the citizens. They came for the scariest guns first and promised they weren’t coming for the rest. After a little time they came again for the next scariest gun and promising they weren’t coming for the rest. Each time the citizens did what they were told and believed their remaining firearms were safe. Fast forward to the last few years and Canadians are finally waking up. They finally see that their government lied to them and actually does want to disarm them completely. The problem is, they are too late.
The time for outrage and fighting back was a long time ago. The people in charge now are fine with sending police and even military to their deaths to forcibly disarm the people. The people in charge now don’t care about people, they care about building a communist nation on top of America.
The sad truth is most of the people involved think they are doing the right thing. However, the biggest lie in communism is that the current people pushing it can make it work this time. They don’t care that it’s failed in every single time it has been tried. They are blind and stupid.
The big question now is whether Canadians have the spine to defend their inherent right to gun ownership or will fold when the time comes or if the government is willing to force them to obey by freezing bank accounts, turn off utilities and arrest them when they leave their homes to go get food or fuel. The latter seems the most probable. Best of luck to my northern brothers and sisters. What they should do is vote to become states…🇨🇦🇺🇸🏴☠️
The same old Far Right crap about registration and the Second Amendment. In reality the Government does not need registration to ban firearms because if they ban a particular type of weapon you could never sell it, shoot it, or us it in a self defense situation and if caught you would be fined, jailed , and probably lose your job and a lot of your assets. In other words a banned weapon becomes useless overnight.
In reality Registration is a necessary tool to keep the Hillbillies from selling their guns to anyone with a fist full of cash. Tracing every sale cuts out the criminals and lunatics because there has to be a paper trail from manufacture to wholesaler to gun store to consumer and then to the next buyer. That is the way civilized countries do it.
As far as the Second Amendment the Courts have always maintained the right (Scalia Decision emphasized it) to “Regulate” firearms, a disingenuous term for outright ban or restrict firearms. The ATF even banned a “piece of leather” called the “Wallet Holster” and remember the SPAS and Street Sweeper Shotguns? They just looked evil so the ATF ruled on them at 8:00 am and by 5:00 pm they were declared banned forever and so it remains to this very day. The ATF always laughs at the required comment period.
Sorry Jethro but that is irrefutable History. The Second Amendment is a worthless piece of aging paper under glass and it is the Corrupt Power Mad Courts and the Corrupt Power Mad ATF who determine what you can own and what you cannot own, that is reality like it or not.
Wow! So do you live off of bootlicking or do you supplement with water?
“…a necessary tool to keep the Hillbillies…”
More lefty hatred from the in-house hatemonger, dacian.
Bring your own body bags, Dudley!
When they come for your guns, shoot them with it.
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.
