Under the Liberal written laws, all publicly owned guns, once no longer required by the crown, must be destroyed. This prevents police forces from trading in their old firearms to partially finance the purchase of new. In the case of the Cdn Forces BHP, the current government did suggest that the better ones could be made available for collectors in Canada. It would require some changes in laws and regulations, but who better than the Cdn Government to do so.
As to the post office etc getting guns, I can think of no government department which would be more of a problem than arming posties.
Other government departments have been getting very high on their security levels in the past few years. I bought some generators from the dept of agriculture in downtown Winnipeg a year ago, and it was like getting into Fort Knox...2 levels of electrically locked doors just to get into their foyer.
