Alberta government to detail plan to fight federal gun buyback program

EDMONTON – Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says more details are expected today on her government’s proposed plan to fight Ottawa’s gun buyback program.

Over the weekend, Smith told the United Conservative Party’s annual convention her government would table a motion that, if passed, would see the province refuse to enforce or prosecute people under the federal rules.

She told reporters Monday that Justice Minister Mickey Amery would share more at an afternoon news conference.
