For too long the firearms community (aside from hunters) has lived in the shadow, not wanting to draw attention to ourselves. Our former club president was dead set against putting a sign at the gate to our facility to let people know we existed. Kind of a "Fight Club" mentailty. Now, we find...

So, what? The damage has been done. A reputable (in they eyes of most) MSM outlet has published the government's "facts". Anything the "gun lobby" responds with to refute that is just damage control that will cost lives on Canadian streets and schoolyards every day. I dare the CCFR, CSSA or...

Correct. From the article: The RCMP centre defines crime guns as firearms that were used or suspected to have been used in criminal offences, guns whose serial numbers have been obliterated or altered, firearms that were found but not reported lost or stolen, and replicas, toys, 3D-printed...

There's a difference here between the compensated confiscation program and federal firearms laws which many people miss. Local Police Services are refusing to participate in the program (which is not a law) as they see no crime fighting value in it for the amount of effort it will require...

As posted above, the amnesty for lawful owners of assault style firearms has been extended yet again but the program is still alive. This tells me that the GoC expects to win in the SCC. Until then, collection and disposal operations will continue and will likely accelerate to ensure as many...

It's a minimum of 12 months. Training at the College is referred to as the Officer Induction Training Program (OITP). After graduation, the probationary period, akin to a field training period is known as the Officer Induction Developmental Program (OIDP). OIDP is usually 12 to 18 months.

Hosted by the BC RCMP?

My agency starts weeding out problems at the College. We have an Internal Standards Unit (ISU, of which I am a member) whose focus is looking into alleged recruit transgressions. We investigate everything from inapproriate comments to academic misconduct. Any alleged criminal misconduct is...

FFS! As an IBET member he had to have known about the surveillance network on the US side. If he did, he wasn't smart enough to evade it. Play stupid games....

Be careful what you wish for. I saw some pretty rancid packages of food when I worked at the mail centre.

I don't think this Liberal government (or the previous one, which had the time and ability to address this issue) wants Canada to have any heroes that aren't activists or entertainers. A "real war hero" doesn't fit the narrative of the peaceable nation. I would love to be proven wrong.

I can. "We revisited these files and found we did nothing wrong" is a recurring theme with this government.

I doubt it would remain "Bombardier" if Trump and Hegseth couldn't properly pronounce the name.

To be fair, as the 51st state, we wouldn't need to buy offshore surveillance aircraft.
