Have y'all seen the ads by the GoC about gun control and how the GoC is protecting Canadians. This arrest played right into the government's hand. IF I were a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist I'd say it was a set up to make the RCMP and the GoC look good to Torontonians. BTW Toronto had a targeted shooting yesterday. More fuel for the anti gun fire....

What I always find funny about these 'Extremist' types is they carried all this weaponry, including plate carriers, modified magazines, etc. By all accounts they were ready to send it and came prepared to square up.....1x AR-15 Restricted Rifle.
2x Lever Action Rifles (Non Restricted)
3x Bolt Action Rifles (Non Restricted)
4x BRN-180 semi auto rifles (used to be NR - not sure now)
1x Type 97 Chinese Bullpup rifle ( I don't know the status of that now)
1 x Criss .45ACP 'rifle' (restricted IIRC)
1 x 12ga Semi-Atuo Shotgun (Non Restricted)
1 x 1911 style .45ACP handgun w/ 2 magazines 7-8 rds - restricted
1 x Sig P226R type (might be Chinese clone) 9mm handgun with 10rd mag by it and 2 more on a belt - restricted
3 sets of Body Armor
Magazines and Ammunition - several of the AR magazines appear to be full 30 rd capacity (thus prohibited devices)
SO less than I have in my SUV on a daily basis
So wait, in all these years you've never crossed through Customs???
None of these people were crossing customs.
I'd say that at least some of the firearms in the RCMP released photo were prohibited. The AR-15 for sure. Chances are many of the long gun magazines may be as well. The handguns are restricted at best and there's no way the owners were able to obtain an ATT to attend a protest, so they are there illegally.
Plenty of people here will latch on to that narrative.
TANGENT If you want to get really spun up about the anti-gun narrative, be sure to watch the sitting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security at 11:00 AM today. The Coalition for Gun Control and Polysesouvient are scheduled to make presentations in the second half. TANGENT ENDS
Agreed. My opinions on gun laws were changed because reasonable gun owners made their case to me. And legal gun owners should not be lumped in either.
This one gives some details about Coutts. I don’t know the author or what “The Line” is as far as reporting is concerned but she seemed to give a decent account. It seems to come to the same conclusion about faith being a driver.

Are they legal while threatening people? Since you were able to clarify the details on the Mountie at the range maybe you should be reaching out to your sources you have to see why your comments on this situation are wrong- I can’t go into the details here on the forum. But I know you know you can look into this for clarity.
Not saying they were, just that your argument doesn't hold water.
2 red herrings, you've almost got a hat trick!
"The minimum amount to pledge to donate on the new site is $250"Ottawa protest fundraising website 'Family Expense Support' goes down
The new fundraising website announced by a group of self-described Ottawa convoy organizers was inaccessible Tuesday, with no way for donors or recipients to access the pledge pages.www.ctvnews.ca
Have to give them credit for being persistant.
I already pointed out that in my opinion, --> anyone bringing a gun to a protest is already making a major error in judgement. Absolutely nothing good will occur with that COA. Regardless if the firearms are lawful to possess or not.
