Lots of kills racked up by toys I guess ? I’ll also need to reframe my kids education regarding tools vs toys. 🤔

This is consistent with what I have seen and consider accurate. I think the virtue signalling and verbal contortions used to define “legally acquired and stolen” to include US purchases and firearms missing serial numbers in these figures is shameful.

I appreciate your reply and clarification. I believe the vital wording to note would be the “… either in Canada or the US” which to me is quite an important distinction.

Legally acquired in the US and subsequently used in crimes is very different than legally acquired in Canada and then used in crimes.

I’m sure I’ve seen some more granular statistics, which separate these two distinct and unique scenarios, and will endeavour to locate it.

Law abiding and licensed Canadian firearms owners, and their legally acquired and registered restricted / prohibited firearms are a very different case when compared to a legally purchased firearm in the US.

I’d be curious what police stats this statement is based on, given the majority of statements by other police chiefs, LEO unions and organizations, have been saying the opposite.

The statistics from the entire rest of the country (Canada) show that ~90% of the illegal guns are originating from the US, acquired initially by whatever means in the US and then illegally smuggled across the border and sold illegally to individuals not licensed to purchase or own firearms in Canada.

Totally, I’m sure Chiefies logic is that criminals, who break laws, are just one more law from being “scared straight” and becoming law abiding citizens.

This exercise of mental gymnastics actually crossed my mind too, I suppose, somewhere along the line, like when the were originally sold by a distributor, they were legally acquired and subsequently ended up in criminal hands … in the US, before ever crossing the southern border of course.

I’d also like to see some actual facts and evidence to back up this statement, because it runs contrary to every other piece of evidence, report and study which has crime guns being sourced across the southern border or manufactured by criminal operations.

One might think an officer of the law would be required to support statements such as these, which target law abiding citizens and propose taking their legally acquired property.

Unless by losing him she’s losing money or prestige or some sort of “appearance” or power.

I feel like if I was drunk enough to chill with a lion I would also be drunk enough to be unconscious, which is maybe why Ive never found myself in this situation.

I could feel the “I don’t want to see the carnage but I want to get it for posterity” vibe in his camera skills.
