Where did the 9mm Tupperware gun come from??

There was no gun violence at Coutts, and evidently, the known criminal element with the guns were unrelated to the blockade, and known to both the police and locals from long before the blockade, it was just a convenient time and place to crack down.

So you are up to a total of one event in all of Canada.

He can't see the day when fert or herb users are placed in the fringe with a vague scary label and murky 'facts'. No one left to speak up for him by then.

Actually I think he is more concerned about, and the rights and labels of and has more in common with the "herb" users than he does the rights or reputation of herbicide users.

Don't want to talk about the Quebec Mosque shooting?

Better ignore that mass shooting by a right wing extremist.

And the guns seized at Coutts had nothing to do with the illegal blockade? That's another good whopper.

Alberta RCMP make arrests at Coutts Border Blockade

Coutts, Alberta

News release

Seized items

The Alberta RCMP recently became aware of a small organized group within the larger Coutts protest. Information was received that this group had access to a cache of firearms with a large quantity of ammunition. The group was said to have a willingness to use force against the police if any attempts were made to disrupt the blockade. This resulted in an immediate and complex investigation to determine the extent of the threat and criminal organization.

As a result of this investigation, the Alberta RCMP executed a search warrant during the early hours of Feb. 14, on three trailers associated to this criminal organization. This resulted in the arrest and detainment of 11 individuals.

As result of these search warrants, the following was seized:

13 long guns
handguns
multiple sets of body armour
a machete
a large quantity of ammunition
high capacity magazines

An example of the militant mindset of a small segment of the protest, earlier in the evening, at approximately 8:00 p.m., a large farm tractor and a semi truck, both involved in the blockade, attempted to ram a police vehicle. The police officer was able to reposition and avoid the collision. RCMP officers followed the suspects to a location where the protesters were gathered. The driver of the tractor was identified and we are actively working to locate him so he can be taken into custody. The Alberta RCMP have seized the farm tractor and semi truck involved in this incident.

The Alberta RCMP wants to emphasize that our primary goal throughout this event has been and will continue to be the safety of the public, as well as our officers.

The Alberta RCMP will resume efforts to end the illegal blockade which has prevented access to the Coutts border. We encourage all participants who are involved in this illegal action to leave immediately or relocate to the designated site for the legal protest.

The Alberta RCMP will provide further updates as they become available.

Nothing newer than an article 3 and 1/2 months old? Everything worth knowing was known at that point, no new information since then?

I would be real interested to hear what happened to those local kids. They didn't fit the terrorist profile.

Did I see the woman who owned the house had the charges dropped?

First question to ask after all mass shootings is: which government agency set this up? When gun control is the mission a mass shooting is needed to advance the cause. It is critical to keep in mind at times like this is that the purpose of gun control is prevent any type of checks and balances to unfettered government power. The US military has already done studies to see if they could take the heartland in a civil war and concluded that they could not. There we have the purpose of gun confiscation right there. That is also the primary motivation behind gun policy here in canuckistan. Protecting innocent children is 100% BS as everybody know more harassment of law abiding gun owners does nothing to protect anyone.

Number of shootings by ethnic based gangs??? Crickets???
Good thing the young male Sikhs and Chinese weren't driving trucks or tractors.
Yet more laws from Ottawa this morning to shut down handgun ownership. Fine.
Good luck. But ignoring the real problem because it's not woke deserves failure.
Last time I was in a late night liquor store in Edmonton the Glock packers weren't legal you f k n idiot.

Anyone so damn excited for others to have tens of thousands of dollars of safe, legally owned and used property confiscated, is really societies worst enemy.
What next in the name of public good??
What is personally valuable to a useful idiot? Sadly nothing as they are automotons.
