In case you missed it, there was a mass shooting yesterday in Canada.
I know, that sounds impossible since the media has made it clear that Canada is better than the USA with universal health care and strict gun laws. Canadians are supposed to occupy a higher plane of existence as completely Woke and having elected the world’s Woke Bae as prime minister and Lefty heart-throb.
But the BBC reported on the shooting.
Canada shooting: Gunman kills at least 18 in Nova Scotia
Police said the suspect shot people at different locations in Nova Scotia, many of them randomly. He was killed in a confrontation with police.
He was reported to have been driving what looked like a police car.
The RCMP says that there may have been an initial motivation for the shooting but it turned into random violence.
The details are pretty horrific.
The shooter assembled a facsimile of an RCMP uniform and police car and started executing civilians. He eventually killed 18 people, including one RCMP officer, before bring killed himself.
The gunman was wearing either an RCMP uniform or a convincing replica, while driving a car that appeared to be a police vehicle, Leather said. Wortman was not employed by the RCMP, authorities said.
Authorities believe he then began pulling over random motorists and executing them, the law enforcement source said. He was involved in a traffic accident and ditched his fake police crusader for a vehicle stolen from a motorist, the source said.
“His ability to move around the province undetected was surely greatly benefited by the fact that he had a vehicle that looked identical in every way to a marked police car,” Leather said.
The RCMP have not publicly identified the type of firearm used, however given the details I’d assume some sort of pistol that appeared to be consistent with a police uniform.
Still, any excuse for gun control…
“In regards to gun control, we took very serious commitments in the election campaign and have moved forward — and are moving forward on them — to ensure that we’re strengthening gun control in this country,” Trudeau told reporters Monday, according to CNN media partner CTV News.
He wants to ban assault weapons and issue a mandatory buyback, New Zealand style.
Not that assault weapons has anything to do with this, but he’s got the ban hammer and everything looks like a nail.
Sorry to my Canadian friends, I guess your guns will be going away soon.
Blackface Trudeau is an woke eh’hole. ‘Nuff said.
You’d think they’d have a law against impersonating a Mountie. Oh, wait…
David Codrea, who runs the War on Guns blog (in addition to other gun writing gigs), maintains a list of “Only Ones” files — police caught behaving badly, often with guns, and often getting off with nowhere near the penalty you or I would face, if anything.
He also keeps a list called the “Fauxnly Ones” — criminals dressing as cops to take advantage of the public’s ingrained trust in the uniform and badge.
Just in case you need to demonstrate any reason to doubt authenticity.
So they’ll punish gun owners for this criminals actions, but then why not also punish the Mounties as well? They’re just as guilty as the Canadian citizens.
