As the federal gun buyback deadline looms, questions are raised over how it’ll be enforced

Ed Landy has been shooting so long he can remember riding the school bus with a shotgun so he could hunt ducks after the final bell.

“My teacher would just tell me to keep it in a locker during school hours,” Mr. Landy recalls of his ninth-grade hobby in rural Manitoba. “And then he’d wish me luck at the end of the day.”

Now aged 75, Mr. Landy remains an avid firearms enthusiast, even as the federal government has limited their use and availability in the wake of several mass shootings over the past four decades.
