QUOTE..Deer Wrastler " huh do you even need to ask why the NS shooting info isnt available? Trudeau will have pie all over his face since he used that incident as a springboard for his new ban. Those were illegally obtained firearms, it contravenes his MO. "
That AND...if they release the list of the guns used in N.S. , we'll know that Billy Blair was lying when he said were on the OIC list...
Billy Blair lying.,.,THAT is a given !!!!!!
Whatever firearms he had in his possession isn't the real issue. Here we have an individual whose troubles were well known among many people,yet,he was still able to possess those firearms. We need to determine why no one reported after he made his intentions known on social media,how the licensing system failed. At this point,there's no indication he intended an assassination attempt against any political figure (despite the brayings of the usual leftist suspects). Somehow,it appears he was a very screwed up individual surrounded by enablers.

and the RCMP who never 'disabled' him.
In all fairness,we know the RCMP aren't mind readers. The "system" won't work unless someone takes the initiative to advise them someone with firearms has come unglued enough to threaten something or someone. Having said that,though,the suspect lives in a very small town. Most of the time,local Police know what's going on with the local folks.Quote:

No the RCMP really are deeply responsible in this tragedy...they should have diffused this years ago.
totally agree...someone at RCMP needs to be made an example out of, someone needs to fall for this.
We don't need "someone at the RCMP" to be made an example of, we need the person/people at the RCMP who recieved these reports and failed to act on them to be held responsible.
We, law-abiding gun owners, are "being made an example of" because someone dropped the ball with the N.S. RCMP. That doesn't work or solve any problems.

Some need to think about themselves if you have a neighbor out to make life miserable and call the police on you and tell them you have guns and are a violent person. It doesn't give the police a right to come in your house and take your guns over a phone call. The police cant come and take your booze away because you might drink and drive. Be careful what you ask for, not saying this guy didnt have problems, but theres many times when a neighbor or even a spouse call the cops and report a person to have guns and being unstable. Police need to investigate first before they confiscate your property, not all reports to police are truthful. Police cant predict the future, and we do have our Charter rights. Nut cases are just that your never going to know if or when they snap.
It does if the RCMP checks their own data base and it shows he's doesn't have a PAL or RPAL...Quote:
