Today, Wednesday, January 6, 2021 is the day scheduled for congress to verify the vote of the electoral college to award the presidency to Joe Biden. Mr. Biden has made it quite clear that one of his priorities is “gun control”, so the following might be of some interest;
Public Safety Canada has announced the awarding of a contract to IBM Canada to develop and study “Compensation Models and Program Design Options for a <Potential> Buyback Program for Recently Prohibited Firearms.” The tender, which was listed October 16, 2020 came with an almost $2,000,000 price tag, keeping in mind this is solely for the study and development of a confiscation model and not for carrying it out. The actual confiscation program is expected to soar into the multi-billion dollar range, a substantial burden for taxpayers during hard economic times.
This is a 2-phase process:
Phase One will require the Contractor, by no later than February 8, 2021, to consult with other government departments, potentially consult with other levels of government, as well as additional experts in the industry to create compensation model options that include, at a minimum, the following:
*Identification of a proposed compensation structure for each affected firearm; *Analysis of benefits and risks associated with each compensation model; and *Identification of other considerations that may impact the feasibility of each approach and/or model.
Phase Two of the work will be managed through a Task Authorization process and will include the review and revision, where required, of the program design steps and processes to align with the decision made at the end of Phase One.
This phase will also include the implementation of the selected process options, associated controls and system improvements, if required.
Rest assured that the Biden/Harris presidency has something similar in their basket of tricks.
Someone might want to remember that the following is a part of the US Constitution:”A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
