The question that I have not seen asked is why are these guns being destroyed?

I may be ignorant to some reason why it is not possible, but wouldn't the best idea be to buy back all of these weapons for use in the military?

I hear our military could use millions of guns and parts, and it would actually justify the cost of the program. It would also be a massive increase on military spending our allies have been asking for and that we are in serious need of.

OK, I’m about to be very, very mean about your idea, so I need to preface this by saying that I fully get that it sounds perfectly reasonable if you don’t happen to know a lot of very specific stuff about how militaries, especially the Canadian military, actually operate. So, to be clear, I’m not trying to call you an idiot, I’m just correcting a misunderstanding. But oh boy is there a lot of misunderstanding here to correct.

I didn't read past this point. Feel free to edit it and try again if you want to discuss this with me.
