A new bill by the Trudeau government has gun owners feeling frustrated.
On Tuesday, the Liberal government introduced a bill allowing owners of banned assault-style guns to give them up voluntarily for cash–or keep them on strict conditions.
Previously, the buyback program was looked at as being mandatory. Now, the prime minister says a buyback program for the certain prohibited models will be optional.
The government outlawed nearly 1,500 models of assault-style weapons back in May. These guns could no longer be used or sold legally throughout Canada.
