The government of Saskatchewan is proposing additional amendments to the province’s firearms act to let firearms owners and businesses apply for a certificate of exemption from the federal gun buyback program.

The certificates would allow the gun owners to continue to store their “lawfully-owned, but now prohibited” firearms, the province said in a March 11 news release.
