His firearms were illegally smuggled in from the US. One gun he got was done through a fuckup by the RCMP who didn't bother taking it away. He was the executor of someone's estate and that person owned a firearm. Despite not having the permits and being forbidden from owning a gun the cops didn't do anything.
Another handgun he got was from the police officer he murdered in the shooting.
Most guns nowadays use polymer frames and stocks. The term 'assault weapon' was first coined when most guns were still old fashion wooden stocks and didn't have many of the post-ww2 features such as protruding pistol grips and barrel shrouds/heat shields. Most guns in the 1970s and 80s that your average person had was probably a ww2 surplus rifle since there were tons of those around in the market.
But since then, and especially post
-2000, most guns use more modern material and features. They aren't more powerful than old guns, but they do look different.
One thing that did change that no one talks about is ammunition. Modern ammo is much better and more consistent than older formulations, especially regarding primers and powders. But no one wants to make older corrosive and fouling mixtures that make maintenance annoying and reduce the useful life of the firearm.
Maybe we need to loosen a bit of the laws and allow for training groups of Canadians in warfare while also remaining living among civilians.
They did this during ww2 in Britain. All resistance groups that formed did so after Nazi occupation. The UK wanted to make a ready made resistance force well before hand. They trained people on resistance techniques, bombmaking, how to sneak around, sentry removal, etc.
Canada needs something like that, and yes I am willing to join.
Carney is a preposterously right wing person. I can't believe I thought he would be good. PP is a sack of shit, but Banker Carney is nothing but a complete shill for corporations and just to strip Canada for parts without merging with the US directly. All the bills he is trying to pass will share information on all Canadians with the United States and effectively ruin all privacy online and offline.
International tourism is always kinda expensive, but piling on fees in addition to some extremely serious bullshit that is going in the United States will drive anyone away. I actually did want to go to the US in the past and see the incredible natural beauty that is everywhere, but natural beauty is always ruined by human ugliness in power.
Really?
