RCMP REPORT: FIREARMS SEIZED ‘CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS’ BY PROVINCE, 2017-2019
RCMP Response to Access to Information Act request dated August 16, 2019 – Received by Dennis R. Young August 22, 2019
NOTE: Also see attached: RCMP Firearms Seized ‘Criminal Investigations’ by Province 2015-2017
I notice that they show how many guns are seized each year in each province. Are all guns that have been seized in a criminal investigation and then returned to the owner still included in the total. This would give an inaccurate amount because the police seize guns even when there are no criminal acts and return them later.
Why do the major news stations in Canada neglect to mention such things and more like the lost, stolen or misplaced fire arms owned by police that go missing while in their possession.
Thanks Ken: I even complained to the CBC Ombudsman and they still didn’t report it.
