Edmonton City Chief of Police makes accusions against law abiding gun owners.

[huntinstuff]

People arent "stuck" with these latest banned guns. The government will toss a few bucks at the masses and of course, some ***** gun owner will bite

The rest of the smart ones will keep their guns

Those that sell their guns to creeps deserve to go to jail.

I agree that it's BS that police are seeing some sort of issue with these banned guns.

Keep your guns. Regardless of their status as set by that idiot Trudeau and his minion Blair. Those two are about as detached from reality as it gets. And that includes that disgusting pig Wendy........

Didn't realize that to be an 'outdoorsman' you need to support criminal activity.

You do realize that the LIEBERALS turn a great number of former "law abiding citizens" into CRMINIALS with the stroke of a pen? Yet some of you on here seem to think this is a good thing.

Why doesn't that surprise me. Again, liberal "logic and sense" at work for us.

Harper brought in the mandatory sentences, to actually go after criminals, and the liberal courts tossed them

In two years ill be a criminal, In 10 years the bolt action guys will be criminals, In 15 years the over and under guys will be criminals. Unless people in Quebec and Toronto snap out of it and stop voting for bozos.

The people in Toronto, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces will never learn.

Soft on laziness!!!

Supreme Court quashes mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes | CBC News

“ The ruling said the mandatory minimum sentence could ensnare people with "little or no moral fault" and who pose "little or no danger to the public."It cited as an example a person who inherits a firearm and does not immediately get a license for the weapon.”

Sounds like a gun ban could be quashed too as collectors pose "little or no danger to the public" and so it would “ensnare people with "little or no moral fault" “. That is, unless the gun owners are selling them to criminals or flipping out and using them in domestic and other disputes.

Not just firearms related, the liberals are soft on many crimes.

And if convicted murderers are executed, they definitely won't reoffend. Our toothless legal system, and soft hearted judges, are a huge part of the problem.

Now we're gitten er!

This is interesting and factual. (See below.)

The truth about gun ownership and domestic violence in Canada - Statscan Info - gundebate.ca

“ Of the 4% of Canadians experiencing violence, less than 1% (0.7%) of incidences reported that a firearm was present between intimate partners. In fact, firearms were only present in 0.5% of overall cases.
Does this mean that firearms were used in a threatening way in 0.5% of all spousal violence cases? No, it does not. A firearm does not have to be involved in the incident for the police to report it as “firearms present.” If a firearm can be located on the premises during the violent incident, whether or not it was securely locked in a safe, the incident would be considered involving a firearm.”

Note: Whenever I see “truth” in a headline I suspect propaganda. Also, I approach any argument that’s using only proportions or percentages without the associated numbers or numbers without the associated proportions as potentially manipulative and not “truth” seeking.

I assume you mean the few people in Toronto more than the entire province of AB.

Revenge, access to illegal guns partially behind Edmonton's recent shootings and gang violence: police
Author of the article:Lauren Boothby


But he said as far as he knows, none of the shootings connected to organized crime in Edmonton involved shooters who had licenses to buy or carry the firearms legally.

“There’s a lot of legal firearms being purchased or stolen and ending up on our streets … that’s another aspect of what my firearms investigation unit does is concentrate on … whether it be straw buyers (or) break-and-enter series in relation to firearms.”

Police were called to 38 Avenue and 78 Street around 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 29. Blais said the alleged shooters didn’t appear to have a target.

“Essentially, just being careless and reckless, and thinking that they could utilize the city of Edmonton as their gun range and start shooting at residences, which is beyond comprehension, is angering and maddening and, to be frank, disgusting,” he said.
