Did the Liberals' gun buyback program miss its target?

The federal buyback program recovered 67,000 banned assault-style weapons by the deadline, roughly 50% of Ottawa's intended target (about 134–135k). The shortfall signals implementation and compliance issues for the Trudeau-era policy and raises political and legal questions, but it is unlikely to have material market effects in the near term.
