Here’s one for the “you dumbasses just made your own cause ten times worse” file.
These clowns decided to protest Canada’s gun regulations by… get this… luring a dozen police officers into a fake robbery to kill them. Really? You think that’s gonna warm the public to your cause? Just for good measure, they brought bombs.
RCMP handled it like pros. Six police injuries, no public injuries, no deaths, both suspects dead.
The government dropped the ball when they decided to ban a long list of makes and models of rifles, rather than banning a generic class. As a result the just-as-deadly SKS semiautomatic military weapons that these clowns used are legal and readily available as surplus.
C-21 is a bit of a mess. They’re slowly cleaning it up, but the ham-fisted way they wrote it the first time created a lot of bad press. It’s not clear action was really needed in any case. The existing regulations have worked really well for decades.
I like Trudeau and the Liberals in general, but their need to score points every so often with more gun regulations might be starting to do more harm than good.
The Dorows said in city documents that they devised an “alcohol safety policy” consisting of hand stamps to prevent members from entering the shooting range after drinking and a breathalyzer to be used on “suspicious individuals.”
