I don’t believe @Jarnhamar thinks the problem will go away. Rather it’s the only way society at large will realize that they have been fed disinformation by charlatans to their and their societies detriment.

Canada has never made firearms laws or regulations in the last 40 years based off capability. The decisions were made on disinformation.

What upgrades and technology from the CMAR should be prohibited for civilians? The automatic capability has already been for decades. The CMAR RoF is no higher than the C7 and in practical terms is no more than any semi automatic action type. Is it the free float barrel that’s objectionable...

If you’re arguing about magazines or action types you are losing. Gun control is in effect now driven by political extremism. It needs to be countered as such. Decisions need to be inclusive in their making. The rule of law must be adhered to. Winner take all outcomes need to be avoided...

I wonder if the Aussie police have found any social media activity or documentation etc that offers insight into how, why and where these people became radicalized to this extent?

If you think gun control, in any country but particularly the UK, Canada and Australia, is governed by reason and logic I have some ocean front property in Saskatchewan to sell you. There is no logic, reason, consistency just emotional feelings and desires. Most of the prominent gun control...

This proposal should be raising alarm bells, as horrific as the attack was, the idea that you can have your rights/privileges curtailed by actions of those three removed from you is concerning. This statement from the NSW Premier is interesting. It is only slightly removed from the thought of...

Australia’s political leaders seem to have decided on their policy reaction. Restricting firearms ownership to citizens is reasonable perhaps. It’s interesting that the authorities won’t state the shooters country of origin...

Here’s what the Premier of NSW and NSW Police Commissioner are talking about. Here's the latest from the NSW government. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-15/bondi-beach-shooting-terrorist-attack/106142446

Potential ISIS connection identified by Australian authorities. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-15/bondi-beach-attack-gunmen-father-and-son/106142630

Of course. I have read that once disarmed the one shooter retreated to the bridge covered by fire from the other shooter (that was the gunfire that impacted the brave bystander I think). Once at the bridge the disarmed shooter rearmed himself with another weapon and the two continued on. Have...

That’s a reasonable view as a professional needing to potentially respond; however both in Australia and here there is a community of people that would take that statement to mean that their firearms bans are not only justified but should be expanded. Separately, the bystander who intervened...

It’s interesting to see the discussion here focused on the firearms used. That’s likely due to a professional interest but it’s ultimately meaningless. Hopefully the broader societal discussion does not devolve into a discussion about firearms and action types. That will only further the...

I doubt it. Each Bn will have close ties with their sister Regiment Bns. Cross postings will continue within the three existing Regiments more so than between the units inside this new formation. This new formation will develop a formation identity with the three unit regimental identities...

Yes all the 3rd Battalions are leaving 1,2 and 5 CMBG. The Light Bns are all going to a new formation, the Canadian Light Infantry Regiment. That formation is NOT a Regiment in the sense of the PPCLI, RCR or R22eR. It’s a Bde. Its 3 units will continue to belong to their administrative families...

I don’t believe that is factually correct. There is no discussion that I am aware of, of the light Bns being removed from the Regiments. People may have confused Regiments and Bdes. Not helped by the CA calling the new formation the Canadian Light Infantry Regiment.

I found the interview article here with CCA interesting. There is nothing new in the interview but what I find interesting is how the CCA framed and answered the questions. There manner in which the questions were provided is potentially illuminating more so than the actual answers and words...

There is an article in the current issue of Canadian Army Today on the rifle program. It’s actually very frustrating from an end user perspective how there seems to be zero information or focus on the optic when that is at least 50% of the system. Especially when the rifle is just an updated...

It will be interesting to see what Colt Canada’s production rate will be given the Danish contract as well. I hope we go with a IDIQ contract and just maintain a constant production line. I wonder if they will just stay with the ELCAN until they figure out a new optic.

I wonder if that means they have settled on the optic and are still pursuing a DND proprietary reticle or if they are just going to go with a test optic as the program optic. I have not heard of any actual optic trials outside of the program using the various optics as representative of the...
