I mean all solid points, however that’s exactly the point, punishing gun owners is how they avoid accountability.
Nova Scotia was the biggest police / RCMP failure ever, and Trudy made sure to do a parade on AR15’s and how he stood up to the gun lobby and America by banning them. Just like that the entire country was distracted from the fact our police let mass shootings happen.
The gun bans are the best distraction ever.

I am STILL angry that they let that man run rampant for so many hours, knowing which section of highway he was on, not stopping the public from passing through it, and only alerting us with a tweet. Because we all use twitter and all follow the RCMP on twitter. There were SO many failures by the horse police for that incident to have happened, but them trying to suggest that a tweet is acceptable as notice of a mass shooting gets me so worked up.
Then our prime minister turning around and absolutely failing us by colluding with Lucki (and probably poly, given what I’ve seen from them since) to obstruct the investigation so that he can do some virtue signalling BS about ar15’s being evil… ugh.

Well the RCMP is incompetent as fuck. They have repeatedly failed and yet they always avoid accountability. Both at the lower and higher levels.

But mostly the upper levels... its basically run like a branch of the military. If you have higher ups that are complete idiot douchebags, it's like a rudderless ship... if you have great competent leadership, itll run like a Swiss watch. We have to be sure that the people in those positions of influence have the right genitalia though... thats super important.

Well the lower level guys also shot up a fire hall so it’s all levels. The whole thing needs a windows reboot. The upper levels make it impossible to get better but also hide failings to make them selves look better

u/NIBLZ_HAMSTR Jul 01 '26
Yeah.. but im at the point now where I gotta wonder if that ever even happened... regardless.. there are complete muppets in the ranks of every organization, but my tolerance for that kind of incompetence runs out when were talking about leadership.

We must draw a clear line between 'accidental shooting mishaps' and 'intentional gun crimes.'
Gun regulation should be utilized solely as a safeguard against accidents. It is a mistake to think regulations can deter criminal acts; instead, our focus should be on crime prevention. (Advocating for an AR-15 ban, for example, is not the solution to stopping violent crime.)
Seriously, what is the point of facing a criminal and chanting, 'Abracadabra Wingardium Leviosa! You can't use an AR-15'? It’s completely pointless.

I stumbled upon an interesting, albeit concerning, fact about the police in Canada: they allegedly only conduct live-fire training once a year, limited to just 30 rounds, and lack specialized training in firearm control.
I don't know for certain if this is true—it’s the kind of repulsive nonsense often spewed by gun control advocates—but if it is true, it’s alarming. It means they’re openly carrying Glocks despite being fundamentally undertrained. How can anyone with a straight face claim that this is enough to stop gun-related crimes? What exactly are they trying to achieve?(What's worse is that they’re trying to pin the responsibility on PAL holders)

It's been said a number of times that many of the gun owners (legal ones) in Canada have more range time in one season than many of the LEOs for an entire year. Of course, there are officers who go to the range in their down time as hobbyists, but overall it would seem they are woefully undertrained.

Most dont hold a valid PAL

u/AJourneyer Jul 01 '26
Many don't, which is why they only do the minimum. It's only the hobbyists that actually hold a PAL/rPAL

*one session, not season.
I shoot more in one personal range trip than my agency provides in a year.

It’s not about stopping crime it’s about unarming the people which should scare everyone.

Dude the rest of your comment is nearly impossible to understand.
They are not disarming us so that they can control us. You are over-exaggerating and frankly giving them too much credit. The real answer is the anti-gunner groups give them money.
You have like 3 unconnected tangents.

The worst part is that those who know how our firearms laws actually work, and how the government and the RCMP have failed to take correct action, are the only ones making these thoroughly valid points.
The people trying to further ratchet firearms laws are wilfully ignorant of the facts and of applying dispassionate logic to the situation.
