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)

We can only hope, but given that an SKS was just used for such a crime, in Montreal, of all places ? We're not even close to being done hearing about it from Poly.

I can't imagine they're not already frothing at the mouth, writing a statement "proving" their point.

Question is - do we know whether the SKS in this incident was legally acquired?
