“The police, in our view, already had information to remove the guns, so the question is why were they returned? Secondly, we know assault weapons are extremely dangerous. They’re designed to maximize the damage and number of victims. We know that large-capacity magazines help shooters increase the death toll. We need to know where the system broke down, what factors were considered, and change them as soon as possible before the next mass shooting” vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/1… @ceciliahuatv @CityNewsVAN

Carey Price's Benelli was never banned (and never targeted to be banned: that was #CCFR-generated #disinformation)

Important investigative report by @Cain in @IJFMedia on the 2022 Vaughan condo mass shooting by a licenced handgun owner despite being subject to a protection order: "𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁? Francesco Villi inflicted terror and misery on his neighbours for years. Why was he able to legally buy the handgun he would use to murder 5 people?" theijf.org/article/who-do-pr… A key takeaway is that the measure in former #BillC21 (passed 3 yrs ago) making revocation of a firearms licence *automatic* for people subject to a protection order IS STILL NOT IN FORCE

Handwritten notes from Edmonton man who pleaded guilty to manufacturing and possessing illegal firearms earlier this year mention #BillC21 — the 2023 #GunControl legislation that froze handgun sales & cracked down on ghost guns. Before his arrest, Tucker was a legal firearms owner who held a possession & acquisition licence (PAL) and and one for restricted firearms (RPAL). Police found 38 lawfully owned guns when they searched his home in 2024, though he also owned several illegal over-capacity magazines. edmontonsun.com/news/crime/e…

Explosive information from @MotherJones's investigative report re Tumbler Ridge mass shooting: "The violent contents of Van Rootselaar’s two ChatGPT accounts, detailed here publicly for the first time, are far more extensive and disturbing than previously known... She pushed ChatGPT to create graphic fictional narratives of mass killings. One ... featured a perpetrator named 'Jess' who shot police and stalked and terrorized her victims as she executed them... In an August 2025 conversation, Van Rootselaar asked ChatGPT to produce a scenario about her attacking a college campus with a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun and causing maximum carnage. (After she) added 'hypothetically' to her prompt. ChatGPT then produced the content, describing in vivid language the tactical qualities of the weapon and where it would be effective. 'In a hallway, indoors, or a crowded classroom, the 870 is brutal. Close quarters is its playground.'" motherjones.com/media/2026/0…

Cinq associations militant en faveur du contrôle des armes redoublent de pression sur la @grcrcmppolice pour qu’elle divulgue des informations sur les armes à feu utilisées lors de la fusillade de masse survenue à #TumblerRidge, en février, en CB. Selon elles, un débat public sur ces détails pourrait contribuer à prévenir une nouvelle tragédie ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle… via @so_chev
