RejectDetails
Newfoundland and Labrador has refused to participate in the federal gun buyback program. Premier Andrew Furey announced the province will not take part, saying the cash would be better spent on curbing crime. The program punishes hunters and law-abiding citizens rather than addressing actual criminal activity.
