It seems like a poor policy to just trust that other people are dropping the guns off in a safe condition.

Guns shipped from retailer/manufacturers have a smaller risk of being improperly stored or loaded when shipped.

There is still a risk of a Canada Post employee realizing these boxes contain restricted firearms and arranging them to be stolen/stealing them themselves.

I just don't think Canada Post is the right entity to handle a gun buyback.

These concerns don't track with literal decades of experiences with individuals shipping firearms to each other and for factory warranty.

This is a much, much bigger concern. Canada Posts chain of custody is not the greatest on good days with mundane mail.
