No, it's true. Now it isn't all firearms, so if that's what the article said then it was misleading, but they originally banned roughly 1500 different models of firearms about a year ago I'd guess, and now they just banned another 324 models and have said they'd consider shipping any of the guns turned in to Ukraine.

That said, they've collected approximately dick squat from all of us legal owners at this point. Somehow, in doing so, they've managed to spend roughly $100M on this already...at least that's what one news article mentioned. I think they've taken some inventory from stores (presumably bought and maybe that's part of the $100M, but I don't know), but I think next to no one as an individual has turned in any of their prohibited firearms. Now partially that's because you get grandfathered as an owner (can't use or sell them, but you can keep them as a nice paperweight as long as said paperweight is properly stored and locked up).

In addition, for the newest ban, there is an amnesty in place until October 2025...which is right about when an election will be held if not sooner, and if current polls are any indication, the current Liberals should get removed from power, and I hope the Conservatives repeal all the bans.
