RCMP ATIP RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS ON ‘CRIME GUN’ STATISTICS: “Please note that items 1,2 and 5-12 produced no records, as the RCMP does not define ‘crime guns’, and therefore cannot provide statistics relating to ‘crime guns’.” RCMP Response dated Feb 25, 2019 Received March 6, 2019 by Dennis R. Young
It is a very convenient oversight on their part. Now with know statistics the RCMP and/or the current Government can make up statistics to suit their needs of the day. A very convenient system for the RCMP and politicians to say whatever they like.
Good point John: Odd isn’t that the Toronto Police Service have a definition for crime guns – not a very good definition but they have one.
