Then you're clearly not aware of this thread.

Ottawa Police say they didn't ask for Emergencies Act "Speaking at that committee Tuesday, Conservative MP Andrew Scheer asked Ottawa Police chief Steve Bell if he had asked directly for the government to invoke the Emergencies Act. Bell said they didn’t ask for the act. “We were involved in...

My guess is that overindulgence in Glenmorangie Special Reserve is a pathway to membership in this Special Reserve unit.

I did enjoy the question about the new registry from Calibre magazine. Minister Mendicino responded by crediting the old registry for tracking down Polytechniqie shooter Marc Lepine. This was despite the facts that Lepine killed himself at the scene, making him easy to find, and that the long...

She is useful to him for now.

Not really. In 2002 the US ran a program called Georgia Train and Equip (GTEP). A lot of western hardware found it's way there. Military infrastructure was improved by the Turks. Somewhat concurrently, NATO led the Co-Operative Best Effort (CBE) exercise program which began around 1998 and...

The jointly GoC/NS funded Mass Casualty Commission (MCC) paid Wendy's organization $210,866.00 to continue their assault on lawful gun ownership using the MCC as the vehicle. The CCFR, NFA, CSSA, SFC etc. didn't get a nickel from the MCC to counter her. I think her "cause" is doing just fine.

My club requires new members - who have already completed the CRFSC - to attend a one-day classroom safety course based on the CSSA curriculum. This is followed by up to six live fire sessions supervised by a CSSA certified instructor, most of whom are veterans, active LEOs or competitive...

I think you were reading your map upside down.

They are exempt. Gang life has its privileges.

Except that 1 doesn't result in 3 unless 2 is a complete ban on all posession and importation. That didn't work even in island nations like UK, AUS and NZ who don't live next door to the biggest gun store in the Milky Way which, by Toronto Police statistics, supplies 86%+ of the crime guns in...

Québec has "Anastasia's Law", AKA Law 9 which has a live fire component. It stresses safe handling, not marksmanship. I just returned home from a conducting a holster users training session at my club. These were existing club members who wanted to enter the action shooting sports at a local...

"Fudds" are not the only lawful gun owners. You're advocating for a standard that exceeds that of every LEA in Canada and is very rarely incorporated in sport shooting. Very few agencies still shoot beyond 15 metres with a pistol. Sport shooting now becomes a pursuit for the well off? Range...

How would this approach to lawful gun ownership impact on those who criminally misuse guns?
