Gun ban talks back after a sad weekend in NS

[fishfood]

I agree. However it has been reported that the 3 main anti gun lobbies sent a letter to Blair asking for swift action on gun control going so far as to suggest he put an immediate ban on the sale of "assault weapons". Unfortunately I can no longer find the link although I believe it was in the Sun. If this is true it is truly reprehensible but I agree we shouldn't be voicing our opposition right now either. TC

I found a link: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/...-shooting.html

None of these gun control groups should be making comment at this time,they are showing no empathy for the victim's of this tragedy.I think
everybody should take a deep breath until we get some FACTS.[/QUOTE]


Agreed they shouldn't be involved before the facts come out . If an assault weapon was used then jump on it . But we dont know what happened. I am hoping for the gun guys that it is not the case.

I may stand to be corrected but I'm being told the shooter had no license (PAL) from past problems. More gun control wont stop these types of heinous crimes.

Yup looks like he had a criminal record so doubt he would of been allowed a PAL.

Let's hope that he didn't deliberately set those houses on fire simply because he knew the poor souls were told to hide in the basement by the police.

In the wake of the shootings, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his administration is moving ahead with stricter gun laws.
"In regards to gun control, we took very serious commitments in the election campaign and have moved forward -- and are moving forward on them -- to ensure that we're strengthening gun control in this country," Trudeau told reporters Monday, according to CNN media partner CTV News.

I highly doubt it was an "Assult weapon".

German World War Two weapons are rare. That is the only true assault weapon, as that is it's name when you translate from German to English.

Let's hope its not rushed while in this pandemic . Will only lead to another disaster without thinking it totally through.
I can see their sneaky little arses now trying to push it through.

And if this is the case of a non assault weapon they have nothing to push forward to. We already have tough laws against guns .

In reality we need to stop them from hitting the black market or coming from across the boarder. Banning assault rifles wont fix anything. I bet the coronavirus has impacted the guns coming in more than a ban itself. Bc is preparing for another pandemic on the street drugs . Short supply coming from across the border has led to increased price and horders buying all the fentanyl they can get there hands on. They think in the long run it will lead to more overdoses and deaths in the future.

Guns on the streets are also being slowed and probably the same a higher price tag.

Indeed.

As I have stated from the start, this looks like damage control on behalf of the RCMP.

The lack of definitive speech on behalf of the Feds ( let's remember that this IS the worst mass shooting in Canadian history), is quite unusual.

Possibly, and pure speculation, but the fact that it started at three murders, and became a "rampage" with mass casualties AFTER the suspect gained access to what was likely a handgun with several mags, and a C8 carbine ( likely 3x30 round mags), from an RCMP cruiser.

This won't fit the narrative of gun control, and in fact would show that the RCMPs own supplies possibly contributed in a large part to the body count.

Saw an update on the news this morning....he had an assault charge back in 2001, convicted in 2002..fined, 9 months probation, sent for anger management and banned (suspension of PAL?) of owning a firearm for 9 months.
