Yup, there are around 10000 858 owners, so the last 24 hours the RCMP have with the stroke of a pen stolen like you say around 15 million dollars worth of legally purchased property from around 12000 Canadians.
I honestly think the compensation bit is BS anyways. That money comes out of the taxpayers pocket, it would never be anywhere close to retail reimbursement, and it only signifies that, "hey, its ok if we take your guns as long as we cut you a cheque for half of your rifles worth, that you are gonna pay for anyways!"
Guaranteed if you ask owners of these rifles what they would rather have, their rifle or their money back, they will want their property.
A buy back is like the govt saying its ok to take your property as long as we make you pay for it twice.
