Man, this is going to get real fucking weird real quick.

The word around French media right now, is that it was allegedly an Albertan resident that supposedly wrote a manifesto. That is going to muddy the discourse for sure if this is true.

RIP to the innocent man that was accidentally shot by the cops and to the officer who was killed as well.

Absolutely fucked up

SKS’s have been used in police shootings before no?

Hopefully the government remains reasonable (unlikely) or they they at least avoid banning due to the insanely difficult task of collection (more likely)

To remain reasonable, you have to be reasonable in the first place.

Good point - I forgot politicians aren’t exactly known for doing the right or reasonable thing. You know it’s bad when even 22 minutes is trashing the buyback
