The Public Safety Minister chose to act before any injunction request was filed. This further delays the removal of assault-style firearms. This is an unacceptable delay to a public safety measure Canadians expected.

Glad to see this correction was made by @BBCWorld.
Due to the #GunLobby's & #GunTrolls' inability to understand the concept of implied meaning or, more likely, its bad-faith insistence on overly literal misreading that totally ignores context (in order to mislead & fearmonger regular gun owners), @BBCWorld has specified that its initial passage referred to #AssaultWeapons, not ALL rifles, as any reasonable person who follows this file would know.

Andre Reed, president of the Hanna Rod and Gun Club, said he was surprised to see the number of Albertans who declared. "I was shocked at that. I didn't think they'd get that many, to be honest." cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/g… via @joeldryden

In my latest Op-ed in the Globe & Mail I note that the reluctance of Canadian police to release info about the guns used in mass shooting is, historically-speaking, new. "Canadians deserve to know what guns were used in the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting.
