Evidence shows Mounties kept a copy of the gun registry

[delmer]

Apparently there is now documented proof that the RCMP did not destroy all copies of the gun registry.

I am not the least bit surprised. More proof that the end goal is eventual confiscation.
No wonder citizens have lost faith in crooked governments.

"This isn’t the first time that gun advocates have suspected that police were using what really amounts to illegal gun registry data. During the 2013 floods in High River, Alta., RCMP officers went house to house seizing guns from locked but evacuated homes.

They smashed down doors to seize the firearms and there was clear evidence of coordination and targeting homes they knew belonged to gun owners but no clear evidence was produced."

The Keyston cops are too stupid to even cover their own tracks...

Another investigation that will go nowhere...

“This shows that there is someone within the RCMP who has deliberately lied to Parliament and the courts.”

The document that Burlew uncovered was prepared by the Registrar of Firearms, part of the RCMP, and sent to the OPP for a case they were working on.

That document contains not only the serial number of each firearm seized but also the Firearm Identification Number, a number that would not exist or be attached to the rifles and shotguns seized without a copy of the registry existing.

I said copies would be kept back when it was first deleted. In fact it would not surprise me if every locale had a local copy.

I think I even explained how local IT guy's could quickly build a system to download data from the registry.

The thing is they are breaking the law by having copies.
Ignoring the wish of the people who make and enact the laws will eventually come back and bite them.

While I can see some nefarious agencies keeping a copy (now basically useless) Parliament told the RCMP to destroy it....if this proves to be valid evidence...heads at the RCMP should roll.

I think it would be next to impossible to eradicate records like this, I am pretty sure security agencies in the USA have a copy
Homeland, CIA, FBI. IMHO

It's probably saved on the hard drive of some manager's computer in Ottawa in a big office building. The password will be something like "gun regsitry123" written on a smeared sticky note that is stuck to the side of their computer...

There were a few on here who said I was full of BS when I said copies would be made Gilroy was it you or Fishermcan?

LOL it sure was not me, in fact after the registry was gone I posted that Peel Region knew I had guns to my home address.
