RCMP loses 205 Firearms
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has lost 205 firearms since 2020, including more than 120 handguns and at least five fully automatic weapons like machine-guns.
The data, which was obtained through an access to information request, also shows that nearly a dozen RCMP firearms have gone missing so far this year.
In total, 122 handguns, 55 shotguns, 23 rifles, three submachine-guns and two machine-guns have been reported lost by RCMP detachments across the country since 2020. Canadians are largely prohibited from using or acquiring machine-guns and submachine-guns, which are fully automatic and capable of rapid fire.

Action League Action
This past weekend another Action League Match was held; thanks for everyone in attendance again
This time we did something that we used to do pre-covid …
Pre-Covid the HPRC Action League used to have an arrangement with a select group of clubs (haliburton, rockcut, orillia etc) where holster certified members of those clubs could be invited to attend HPRC matches (matches only, no other times) and visa versa
This past weekend we had an executive from Gravenhurst Range attend and shoot at our match
In these challenging firearms times collaborating with other clubs to share ideas etc only helps our community become stronger
This was a baby step in looking at returning the match trade program again over time at HPRC and other clubs
Again, in a very controlled manner and only with holster certified members from each club (for once a month matches only) we would look to expand this in the new year
More info as we run this existing program HPRC had out again over time […]
BuyBack Program at $67 Million
The federal firearm buyback program has cost taxpayers nearly $67.2 million since it was announced in 2020, but it still hasn’t collected a single gun.
The program is designed to compensate owners of assault-style firearms that were banned by the Liberal government in 2020(opens in a new tab).
Although many details of the program still haven’t been revealed after four years, businesses and gun owners only have until the end of October 2025 to turn in, deactivate or dispose of outlawed weapons. The government estimates there are 150,000 prohibited assault-style firearms(opens in a new tab) in the country.
The $67.2 million includes $56.1 million spent by Public Safety Canada and almost $11.1 million by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Nearly $11.5 million of that money went to external consultants for software, logistics, communication support and more.
