Cunuckgaucho Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 The story of what's known,still lots of speculation. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/mass-killings-what-we-know-what-we-don-t-1.5537918 Small rural town in Nova Scotia(eastern Canada) 51yo male dressed up in RCMP uniform and driving a car painted to look like a RCMP patrol vehicle. Motive is unknown as shooter shot and killed in custody. As of this time 17 dead, one officer(23 year veteran,mother,2 kids). seems a number of these people were random with no connection to the shooter. Several fires were started related to this. There was obvious premeditation( uniform and police car) and he owned multiple properties so be interested to see if those were the ones set on fire. To put it into perspective the chart shows year and number of firearms related homicides for all of Canada. The spike 2016-2018 was gang related. Type of firearms 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Number Total firearms 5 155 179 223 267 249 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 We’ve had a guy around here impersonating a cop pulling over people asking why they’re out under “safer at home”. This really caught my attention cuz I figure someone is gonna get hurt with the situation here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunuckgaucho Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 He did a pretty good job on the car. I believe this is an actual police car they photoshopped the number but that was the only distinguishing feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunuckgaucho Posted April 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Seems he executed his ex and her boyfriend then drove around pulling random people over( they thought he was a police officer) and shooting them. The number of dead is now 19 and police say there may be more still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The antis are already dancing on the graves before all the facts are in 7 hours ago, unforgiven said: Sounds premeditated to me there was planning. So far the count now sits at 22 victims. In that there is a 17 yo girl killed alongside her parents and a pregnant caregiver He was wearing an official issue RCMP uniform and had painted up a car to be indistinguishable if parked beside another patrol car all which takes time and planning.. No information on the firearms used,official issue(RCMP) is S&W 5946, C8 patrol carbine(14.5 in barrel AR), he apparently took the officers pistol after shooting her. It seems the the primary victims were his ex and her boyfriend. He then went around killing people taking advantage of the uniform and police car.This went on over a 12 hr period.There are people questioning why the police posted on twitter but did not use an existing system which sends out warnings to cellphones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 They need to put restrictions on fire and cars that can be made to look like RCMP cars. They are as much to blame as guns. From the article: Some of the victims in Sunday's tragedy were known and targeted by the gunman and some were killed at random. Five structure fires and vehicle fires were also related to the mass murder, in a total of 16 crime scenes under investigation. Police have warned the death toll will almost certainly rise as investigators comb through homes destroyed by fire. Authorities said the gunman, who Fox News will not be naming, made his car look like a Royal Canadian Mounted Police cruiser, allowing him to travel easily within a 30-mile (50-kilometer) area.

Check it out - Trudeau calling for a complete ban on "Assault Weapons" - for real: https://www.foxnews.com/world/trudeau-ban-on-assault-style-weapons-shooting-death-toll-rises The legislation mentioned has been in the works for a while. Rumor had it they were going to table it but corona-19 sent everything sideways. Had this not occured, it would have likely stayed in the background due to cost. The government has been pretty cagy as to how this would roll out. 1- Grandfathering- ban future importation but allow current holders of banned firearms to continue possession and buy/sell only among fellow prohib owners. Canada already has similar situation. 2- Buyback( guns and accessories) - Will be stupidly expensive(there is an estimated 10.5M firearms in Canada( this is government number and believed by industry to be on the low side- better optics) Compliance expected to be low especially if government does stupid crap like issue tax credits rather then money 3- Confiscation- compliance expected to be low as people will see this as theft. The big sticking point for the government is they need to table the list of firearms they wish to ban. Now AR-10/15 are restricted( registered because of their name) Canada has a number of AR like firearms( many using some to lots of AR parts. Stag 10 for example is non restricted so no registration or paperwork if sold/traded. So as soon as they announce which firearms will be banned expect with in 24 hrs there will not be one in stock anywhere in the country. It will at a minimum be 3 months between tablinging list and passing law( highly unlikely even under ideal conditions. The antis are asking the government to immediately ban the import along with the sale of 'assault like weapons' which at this point they will not provide even a criteria as to what an assault like weapon will be.Not to mention the fact that it still has to be tabled and go through several readings. The antis are a small but vocal group that needs something like this to get try and rally support from average citizen who generally is indifferent. Now the government know they'll get push back and in the past has drawn things out while pretending to study the situation.A lot of this 'new' legislation is stuff they had written up 5 years ago in 'promises' to the anti groups. On interest is that word is leaking out that a number of these deaths were not actual shootings- no official confirmation but the ex and her boyfriend were tied to a tree and beaten to death and a number of other were killed in other ways. Of course the government doesn't want a tragedy to go to waste. They haven't listed firearms involved,if they are on the potential ban list, causes of death, if the killer was a licenced firearms owner or if the firearms involve obtained in a legal manner. 1 hour ago, shepp said: If they ban scary guns they better ban cop cars than too If they banned marriage there wouldn't be ex-spouses...

98Z5V Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Scary times, brother - very scary. Just like here, they prey on "feelings," and try to get a political move made during that "emotional" timeframe. Exact same thing that happened to New Zealand. "Feelings and emotions." I hope Trudeau doesn't take this bite of that giant shiit sandwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One out of how many in the local population so let's punish everyone. WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
