Some years ago thousands of people were forced to hand in their firearms because they were late renewing their licenses and were told they could not apply for new ones until notification.
As far as I know, no one has been notified.
Why should we have been forced to give up our arms just for being late to renew?

It would seem that this was just a scam to disarm the population as the government now has plans to remove 'Self defense' as being justification.
