The Alberta government is taking steps to oppose federal firearms prohibition legislation and the potential seizure of thousands of assault-style weapons.
Since May of 2020, Ottawa has prohibited more than 1,500 different models of assault-style firearms from being used or sold in Canada.
Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro says he received a letter from the minister of public safety asking for police resources to begin confiscating firearms starting this fall.
He says Alberta will not agree to having RCMP officers act as confiscation agents and will protest any such move under the provincial-federal agreement that governs policing.

While officers might seize weapons in the course of their duties, no one should worry "that, in rural Alberta, that the RCMP are going to be busting down their doors looking for illegal firearms," he said.
"That's not going to happen," King said. "I mean, let's be real."
As for telling the RCMP not to enforce a federal law, King said that would be "extraordinarily unusual," and not likely very effective.

Goddamit Shandro, you ####ing useless toad. Way to give Smith precedence for ignoring federal law. These idiots are so dumb you can see the spittle rolling down their faces. How is this guy still employed?
