No, not entirely. Canada’s program targets specific prohibited assault-style firearms (over 2,500 models banned since 2020), not all guns. Owners can get compensation via a voluntary buyback, with amnesty extended to October 2026. After that, possessing those firearms could lead to criminal charges, but other guns like hunting rifles remain legal. Handguns are under a freeze on new acquisitions, but existing ones aren’t required to be handed in.
