Or, maybe, they just got lucky. First person shooter games can teach anyone proper sight alignment. Remember a couple of years ago when Wendy Cukier claimed lawful firearms owners were more dangerous because we went to the range and practiced? Good times.

Six police officers suffered GSWs. Clearly, this was not some gang banger, but rather a high performance sport shooter who qualifies for an exemption to handgun bans under Bill C-21. I, too, miss the sarcasm emoji.

RCMP official: Lucki claimed direct pressure from federal minister to name guns. Another piece of the puzzle was released today. This continues to look bad for Blair and Lucki.

More than you'd think.

Replying to my own post seems odd....but... The PM and Blair knew the killer's licence status almost immediately (as this was released by the RCMP during a press conference) and sources of the firearms used by April 24, 2020. When asked on May 1st, 2020, "ban day", they declined to name them -...

The idea of centralized storage for handguns has been floated before. Ideas such as having local firearms businesses offer it as a pay-per-use service to having local law enforcement provide storage and even, in Ontario, having all handguns centrally stored at CFB Borden and accessible by...

Your construct infers a government imposed disadvantage by design as a disincentive to participation. Currently, no and unlikely in the future. This would require a significant re-write of the Firearms Act and Shooting Club/Shooting Range Regulations. History has shown that this government is...

Do you shoot competitively? I do. One of the ways by which I learned to compete was by attending matches across the province/country, picking up tips and tricks by watching others run the courses of fire. Under your construct, if I compete at another club with a short term rental gun I've...

Except that, in less than one generation, nobody will "make it this far" ever again.

You don't, which causes the shooting sports to die off. So, I can keep my guns for now. What happens if my gun breaks? Will I be allowed to purchase/import repair or replacement parts? C-21 is silent in that regard. But if the May 2020 OIC is any indication, importation of handgun parts will...

The Liberal's "let's kill handgun sport shooting and legal handgun ownership" Bill C-21 passed second reading yesterday. It now goes for committee study. Many are waiting to see how the definition of "authorized high performance sport shooting athletes" will be articulated, as they are the...

Involved? Yes. Commissioner Lucki all but confirmed that the "assault style" firearms ban OIC was drafted and ready to launch. The PMO and Blair were hoping the evidence regarding the type and source of the firearms used and the licence status of the killer could be used to further their...

One would then have to admit that the May 1, 2020 "assault style" firearms ban OIC was based on false pretenses. That could infer that the GoC really has no evidence to defend the OIC against the court challenges underway (having invoked Cabinet Confidence under S 39 of the Canada Evidence Act...

A whole battalion taken down by a redhead.

I can't believe I'm defending the CBC! The federally funded broadcaster has been throwing shade at the Trudeau government quite a bit of late. Possibly they see the tea leaves no longer favouring their boss, as Don Martin opined above.
