640 Firearms Lost – 173 Firearms Stolen (see attached for breakdown by types of firearms)
It only took 27 months for the ‘Open and Transparent’ Government to respond
RCMP ATIP File: A-2017-03711 – Filed April 1, 2017 – Received July 3, 2019 by Dennis R. Young
It is amazing that they lost so many [in the space of 4 to 6 years: 2013-2017/2013-2019]. IF any private citizen had “misplaced” so much as 1% of this number, he/she would be locked up &/or in court for years!
I’m curious to know how many guns were lost or stolen from licensed gun owners during the same time period?
[…] if you take the statistic here: there are 813 firearms lost by or stolen from police over the last 15 […]
So let me see… we are allowed to shop on line for uniforms of police officers, we go on line and buy old cop cars at auction, and wait for a CRIMINAL to sell guns they stole FROM THE POLICE. And somehow law abiding gun owners, who have LEGALLY purchased guns, and gone to government courses and obtained government certification for the guns and to use them are the problem? WE HAVE A TYRANT IN OTTAWA. Can our military not remove him?
Somebody must post this on Bill Blair’s and Justin Trudeau‘s Facebook page and to take no chances send it to every MPs email.
Sent it to Billy
Somebody must post this on Bill Blair’s webpage Justin Trudeau‘s webpage and both of their email accounts
Somebody should send this to Bill Blair’s webpage.!!
K2 shifter “somebody should ” ? ????/ why not you do it…do not be afraid
Maybe the cops are selling the guns to the bad guys!
I’m afraid that is more like it!!
Liberals have an open plan to confiscate guns from the Law abiding licensed gun owners under C-71, even they want to prohibit personal home gun storage and shift all guns in a mass storage under the vigilance of the government/police. What a joke. If the police cannot protect their own guns then how they will protect the guns in mass storage. Actually Liberals are making it easy for criminals and terrorists to get all arms from one storage, they just have to break it. Disarming 2.2 million lawful Canadian gun owners is a big conspiracy to give upper hand to… Read more »
that’s quite the moronic claim bud. And the Swiss keep their guns all housed in one place and have zero issue
Sorry Tig, I lived there and every man within the age range did have all their issues weapons in their personal homes.
The swiss don’t keep all their guns in one place, most homes house a rifle.
Totally untrue. The Swiss have mandatory military trailing, each Swiss has their military weapons and ammunition in their homes. The only part you got right is “They have zero issues.”
[…] Dennis Young obtained a list of the number of guns lost or stolen by police or public agencies from 2005 through 2019 and the numbers might shock […]
It makes you wonder – how many were genuiniely lost or stolen, versus dishonest cops selling them?
Try Cops doing drug busts and some of the illicit drugs, cash and weapons don’t make it into the evidence … Since when does a police officer take his 13 year old sons out to the country to fire off rifles that are fully automatic? Not in the Canada I know
Even Police have to have these locked up at all times … Welcome to the Canadian RCMP
Stolen is stolen, but how do you “lose” 13 SMGs? 10 in one year alone!
Thank you for all the great work you do Mr. Young and the many volunteers, I appreciate your time and knowledge. GY6 🙂
Justin ” pot pusher ” Trudeau, Billy ” no border ” Blair, Ralph ” good for nothing ” Goodale, Bill ” bullshit ” Morneau and the rest of the Liberal mice need to follow the piper right out of power come ” October ” . And not just on this issue, there are many and more reason to send this tyrannical/schizophrenic government.
I bet u will find most of them in policemens home in thier collection I know of a few that have a fairly large collection. More than a few are without permits
Who polices the police and RCMP?
So let me get this straight. Trained professionals are losing prohibited weapons. How is that possible without being put in jail. Sounds like the police cannot be put in charge of their own crimes. Maybe gun owners should be the police watchdog.
I agree!
1 Machine gun lost, 1 machine gun stolen….Machine gun??? Not a sub-machine gun such as an MP5 but a machine gun…A General Purpose Machine Gun?? Why do police have general purpose machine guns?? You want to talk about a firearm that has been designed to kill as many people as possible, THAT would be a general purpose machine gun….
As a former police officer of over 30 years I find the loss ,mis placement or theft of firearms from police custody ie officers and/or stations to be completely irresistible and shameful for that department.
There seems to be a large hue and cry about the possibility of some firearms being sold on the black market from legal owners when the federal police have allowed over 800 firearms to go missing (to the underworld?).
I agree Jim. All lost and stolen guns are a part of the stats on crime guns that are ‘domestically-sourced’. The problem is the government is solely focussed on guns stolen from lawful gun owners and dealers. Thanks for your input, Dennis
I know a fellow targeted by a lying defective detective in the OPP, aided and abetted by one corrupt JP and another JP with the IQ of a candy cane, who enabled al illegal raid based on the ravings of a head case bureauCRAP who had criminally harassed him for decades. In the raid the victim has had two items stolen from his bedroom. A uniform does not make anyone honest, often it does the opposite.
Law enforcement of the OPP stripe are useful idiots of their political masters, mere Stasi and KGB vessels of dishonor and deception, embracing criminality in their sordid existences.
So what happened in 2015 to cause such a massive spike in lost and stolen firearms?
Good question John. We will likely never know because Bill Blair and Ralph Goodale ignore this real evidence and are too busy misleading the media and the public by making lawful gun owners and dealers the scapegoats for their election campaign. The other unanswered question is why has CBC failed to publish this evidence since I first started releasing these access to information reports in 2011? Thanks, Dennis
The CBC (Canuckistani Bigots & Cretins)are useless mouthpieces for hoplophobic fools.
I wonder why they are not charging themselves with unsafe storage? They sure as hell would charge you or I with it!!
I wonder if Tim Hortons has a lost and found?
Tim Hortons lost and found that’s got to be the funniest shit I’ve ever heard in my life but I’m going to check either way
Army would! Why not the RCMP?
