And grandpa mike isn’t on Reddit, doesn’t subscribe to CCFR, and doesn’t know that he is technically a criminal. Bravo and kudos to the government for making criminals out of nothing.

They lost my paperwork on a license renewal, and used it as an excuse to confiscate and destroy all my pistols, and my AR. The cop who came to pick them up was nice and all, but it was like he was looking for crimes while he was on my doorstep...

I'm like "I called you! I'm trying to do the right thing. This is about lapsed paperwork, I didn't do anything wrong. If you're looking for crimes to get me on technicality, while confiscating thousands of dollars worth of my property, over paperwork, you can because there is no proper legal system in place for what we are doing here, but why?"

See this is another reason why I don't bother with getting a restricted license. Fuck that headache. My guns may be longer than id like but the government doesn't know what I have.

29

u/Seven65 rooty tooty point and shooty Aug 09 '26

Yeah, no point in having it now anyways imo. They more or less banned anything anyone would want with it.

u/Hopeful_Relation_441 Aug 09 '26

until next sitting when they change laws to make single shot 22lr restricted

u/Yorktown_guy551 Aug 10 '26

This is what the current government want. Canadians giving up. People should continue to get Restricted licenaes even if they don't plan to buy just to show our interests are still alive and we want a government that will take our side.

u/jwin709 Aug 11 '26

yeah I suppose I could just get the license. guess I just didnt see the point of spending the money on the extra course if There weren't any guns In that category I was interested in anymore

would have loved to get a pistol and get one of those chassis' kits for it.

u/PizzaExisting9878 Aug 09 '26

You realize it says you’re exempt when waiting on a license application? Just not allowed to use or transport.

Something seems off….

u/marston82 Aug 09 '26

Some people like to make things up on the internet.

u/Seven65 rooty tooty point and shooty Aug 09 '26

Make what up? 

They made me destroy my guns, before they would let me have my liscense back. There's no reason for me to lie about that, literally nothing that I can gain from telling you what happened.

u/Seven65 rooty tooty point and shooty Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26

Exempt from what? 

If could have avoided destroying my guns, I would have. 

They said they didn't get my paperwork, I resent it, and when they got it, they said it was too late and that I had to reapply for a new lisence, but they wouldn't let me do that, unless I destroy my restricted firearms. They didn't care about my long guns.

u/JurboVolvo Aug 09 '26

Aren’t they just random criminals for hire? Like we don’t actually know they are hit men or they have any allegiance to any groups. Just $$$ but yeah I get the point.

u/Ace_And_Jocelyn1999 Aug 09 '26

In BC its members of the Bishnoi gang. The shootings are to extort money from businesses and individuals. It’s a huge gang with a centralized leadership based in India.

u/julienjj Aug 09 '26

So you tell they are NOT using pink gsg16 to commit crime? Fuuuck who could have known?

u/Ace_And_Jocelyn1999 Aug 09 '26

Funnily enough one was caught with a hot pink 9mm pistol recently.

"Every individual that we’ve identified during this investigation ... is a temporary foreign worker or on a student visa and relatively new to Canada."

Well that's just great. Just like tim hortons even street gangs needs TFW nowadays.

u/jwubadubdub Aug 10 '26

There's a non-zero chance some of them are actually Tim Hortons tfw's 😂🫩

u/dsac Aug 09 '26

They're doing it here in Ontario too

But the "IRGC" reference it's talking about is related to hired gunmen

Not actually confirmed to be IRGC, but considering the timing and global events, it's entirely possible. Of course, could also be neo-nazis, Syrians, Mossad, or Ms Rachel fans, who the fuck knows.

u/Afrocowboyi Aug 12 '26

you mean Mossad

u/NeruLight Aug 09 '26

No it’s IRGC 100%. They attack Iranian royalists

u/JurboVolvo Aug 09 '26

Yes that also. But the shooting the US consulate and whatnot I think is what the post was in reference to.

u/hkhunkhun Aug 09 '26

Not only are they only centralized and lead in India, it’s even directed by the Indian Government. It’s mostly used as a tool to harass dissidents in the West.

1

u/NeruLight Aug 09 '26

In case you don’t follow the news, it’s not just happening in Toronto. The IRGC have been paying street criminals to shoot at USA and Jewish establishments around the world. It has been happening throughout Europe too. The reason we know it’s them (despite hiring kids over the internet) is from the target selections—they have been doing the same attacks against Iranian expats (royalists).

u/Grouchy-Lemon2350 Aug 09 '26

Absolute crickets about the chaos that’s happening in Surrey right now where foreign gangs are shooting up neighbourhoods daily with smuggled guns. Authorities too busy banning the remaining 8lb hunting rifles from licensed owners.

u/FunkyFrunkle Aug 09 '26

Yes but imagine someone owning a gun doesn’t that terrify you?!?!?!?!?!?!

u/twotokers Aug 09 '26

I mean from your link it looks like they’re only targeting immigrant run businesses and extorting/robbing them. Immigrant on immigrant crime.

15

u/hkhunkhun Aug 09 '26

No it’s not “immigrant on immigrant” crime. The Bishnoi Gang is literally directed by the Indian Government as stated by the RCMP. It’s more like a state-sponsored terrorist organization harassing dissidents.

24

u/Fine-Mine-3281 Aug 09 '26

It’s NEVER been about public safety.

It’s always been about disarmament of the citizenry.

u/FunkyFrunkle Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26

It’s almost like there’s this underlying, unspoken concept in metropolitan Canada amongst the well-to-do that criminals who have no regard for human life or indeed the laws simply do not know any better and to be “Canadian” means we have a duty to tolerate and accommodate to our own detriment.

Everyone is either a victim of circumstance, a product of an oppressive system or a result of some kind of trauma. Are there people out there who can trace their suffering to these things? Yes, absolutely. I don’t mean to suggest that life isn’t nuanced. It just seems that people go to extraordinary lengths just to avoid having to acknowledge that there are bad, fucked up people in this world and that no amount of therapy, rehabilitation or gun control is going to change that.

Sometimes there isn’t some grandiose reason why someone would hurt others. Sometimes there is, but most times, you can see it coming from a mile away. These usually aren’t good people that woke up one day and decided to be evil. These are usually people with issues and incidents that span over their whole lives. This isn’t something that gun control is going to magically fix. You can’t fix behaviour by simply removing an object from someone’s possession, and you’re certainly not going to fix it by removing something from the possession of someone who doesn’t deserve it.

We had a system that dealt with this a lot better. It wasn’t perfect, but there was a time when headlines like this didn’t exist. Guess what? That system didn’t include sweeping gun bans.

When you have agents of foreign interests operating AND harming people with illegal firearms on Canadian soil on a daily basis to the extent that it’s just become part of the daily news cycle, then quite frankly you have bigger things to worry about than clutching your fucking pearls over Uncle Joe and his clapped out M1 Carbine.

“B-but assault weapons! Nobody needs those!!!”

Like, give your head a shake dude and look at the fucking news on any given day. It’s drug wars, it’s gang wars, it’s political violence from extremist groups, it’s gun smugglers and thieves. It’s not some Ned Flanders-ass dude with a gun license, nor is it some sport shooter from New Brunswick. It’s not some hunter from NL or some octogenarian who can’t walk from here to there without an inhaler.

People are completely ignoring what’s happening and instead seem more concerned about things that personally annoy them on an ideological level because they are, at heart, deeply and terribly intolerant people who carry a massive chip on their shoulder and if that’s not bad enough, they’re perfectly fine with billions of tax dollars being funnelled into a dead-end low yield project that could have been better spent doing literally anything else.

This whole charade is nothing more than a pathetic, long-winded attempt to correct a “cultural” issue that bugs the shit out of the upper-class while desperately trying to frame it as a necessary public safety initiative. The philosophy of arrogant, self absorbed, wealthy and intolerant cosmopolitan clowns and pseudo-intellectual idiots being imposed on people who are guilty of the crime of offending the sensibilities of people who live a completely sterile and sheltered existence by partaking in an otherwise clean and sensible lifestyle.

Nothing that’s currently happening in the gun control scene is of any appreciable benefit to public safety. The firmest launchpad for this whole thing happened in 1989 which resulted in a Firearms Act re-write. Almost every shooting since then exclusively involved people who were known to police, had either been reported or were of concern to people around them. An upsetting number of them were reported to the police and the police and/or the courts completely shat the bed. It was left up to the system to do its job and guess what? The system failed repeatedly.

And now they want to expand the system by banning all these guns from some of the tamest people in Canada. Why? So it can fail more? So they can be given some useless enforcement tools? We can’t even stop people with lifetime firearm bans from getting ahold of illegal guns, much less lock them up and now we’re going to be rounding up millions of these guns? Give me a fucking break.

What is IRGC? I feel like I live under a rock

u/tony_negrony Aug 09 '26

Islamic revolutionary guard corps. TLDR; Iranian armed agents that go into countries to train rebels/commit actions in support of minority groups that are backed by Iran and generally causing issues/instability

Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps

The Iranian military, essentially

u/NeruLight Aug 09 '26

For all the people that think guns are useless and pointless, just look at Iran. 1 million lunatics with small arms are keeping 93 million people under the boot of an Islamic dictatorship. They hang people from cranes and mow them down with machine guns. They killed like 30,000 people in 24 hours with small arms. The morally correct thing would be for the free world to form a new coalition like desert storm and take them
Down completely.

Actual question have they confirmed it's IRGC cells cause if so that's fucked on cisis and the RCMP end lol

u/IAmNot_ARussianBot Aug 09 '26

From what I can find, a "top-secret government report obtained by Global News" said that "Iran’s intelligence services may be behind recent attacks in Canada." That's pretty much it.

We know that Iran has very little motive to be attacking any other countries that aren't actively attacking them. We also know that the US has a very strong motive to drag anyone they can against Iran. Make of that what you will.
