As the deadline for declarations for the ASFCP (Assault Style Firearm Compensation Program) draws near, the Liberal government is boasting the 51,000 declarations so far as a win. Of course, you'll remember the target number they say they're willing to pay for is fluid - it keeps chaning from 136,000 to 151,000 to 155,000. This is out of an estimated 2,000,000+ affected firearms. Long story short, they're planning to rip off almost everyone.

Canadian gun owners have received a number of scare-emails we like to call fear spam, warning you that the end is near, and you should hurry up and declare your guns to the government, in the hopes of getting your share of the very small and limited compensation pot. It's like the Hunger Games for gun owners where you have to compete for the small chance, of maybe, perhaps getting a fraction of the value of your legall acquired property.

But then the whole game changed. The Supreme Court of Canada announced last Thursday that they would hear our case, CCFR v Canada. This is our court challenge against the gun ban and if successful, would turn the tables on this whole fiasco .... but not if you've already surrendered your guns. Some gun owners succumbed to the pressure from the government and filled out the declaration. We're not going to beat them up for this, it's a well orchestrated fear campaign with threats of criminal charges and cancelled PAL's. But the good news is, it's not to late to withdraw from the ASFCP. You can back out and hold the line with the rest of us and we're going to show you how in this web story.

Below you will find the "Terms and Conditions" of the ASFCP as posted by Public Safety. We want to draw your attention to #8 in the list - instructions on how to withdraw from the program.

"You can withdraw your consent from the program until firearms are collected. After
collection, the application cannot be withdrawn and will be processed fully. To
withdraw consent, contact the program’s Contact Centre 1-833-759-4551. Upon
receipt of your request, the application and consent to use the provided information
will be considered withdrawn"

That number again is 1-833-759-4551

Another option available to you is to wait to be contacted by the program to arrange surrender of your firearms and then clearly state to the caller that you are no longer interested in participating. Refuse any appointment offered and get off the phone. If you are contacted again, repeat this statement and asked to be removed from the program and the call list. Let us know if you have any problems.

You may also want to read the following documents related to the ASFCP.

For those wondering if the court case may stretch out past the amnesty date, the CCFR will be filing for an injunction in the coming weeks to extend the amnesty and protect you while the case makes its way through the highest court.

Everyone must make the decision that's right for them, but reducing the already failing numbers for this gun grab is essential. Please, if you can, consider withdrawing from the ASFCP if you have already declared.

Hold.The.Line.
