The Canadian federal government has delayed the end of the amnesty period for owners of prohibited firearms until the Supreme Court of Canada makes a final decision.

加拿大聯邦政府已將禁用槍械所有者的特赦期終止日期推遲，直到加拿大最高法院做出最終決定為止。

This legal conflict began with a 2020 order that banned about 2,500 firearm models, such as the AR-15, because the government believed they were only suitable for military use. However, the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR) and several owners challenged this decision. They argued that the government went beyond its legal power, especially regarding guns used for hunting or sports. Although lower courts supported the government's decision based on public safety, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case in March, with a final ruling expected next year.

這場法律衝突始於 2020 年的一項命令，該命令禁用了約 2,500 種槍械型號（例如 AR-15），因為政府認為這些槍僅適用於軍事用途。然而，加拿大槍械權利聯盟 (CCFR) 和幾位所有者對此決定提出挑戰。他們主張政府逾越了法律權限，特別是關於用於狩獵或體育的槍支。雖然下級法院基於公共安全支持政府的決定，但最高法院於 3 月同意受理此案，預計將於明年做出最終裁決。

As a result, the government has moved the amnesty deadline from October 30 to a date 90 days after the Supreme Court's verdict. This change is intended to protect owners and businesses from criminal charges while the court process continues. Furthermore, the federal buyback program is still active. Current data shows that about 67,000 weapons have been collected, which is only half of the 136,000 units the government expected. Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree has urged owners to complete their appointments to receive payment.

因此，政府將特赦截止日期從 10 月 30 日移至最高法院判決後的 90 天。此舉旨在法庭程序持續期間，保護所有者和企業免受刑事指控。此外，聯邦回購計劃仍在進行。目前數據顯示已回收約 67,000 支武器，僅為政府預期的 136,000 支的一半。公共安全部長 Gary Anandasangaree 敦促所有者完成預約以領取款項。

Different groups have reacted to this news in opposite ways. The CCFR described the extension as a practical necessity, as it avoids a situation where the government collects guns only to lose the case in court later. On the other hand, the group PolySeSouvient expressed disappointment. They asserted that allowing people to keep dangerous weapons is unacceptable, even if there are ongoing legal challenges.

不同團體對此消息反應截然不同。CCFR 將此次延期描述為實際的必要措施，因為它可以避免政府在回收槍支後，隨後在法庭上敗訴的情況。另一方面，PolySeSouvient 團體則表示失望。他們主張，即使存在持續的法律挑戰，允許人們保留危險武器也是不可接受的。

The amnesty for prohibited firearms will now remain in effect until 90 days after the Supreme Court ruling, while the government continues its firearm buyback program.

禁用槍械的特赦期將維持至最高法院裁決後的 90 天，而政府將繼續執行槍械回購計劃。
