CSSA COMMENTARY: RCMP FAILS TO TRACK VIOLENT OR SEXUAL OFFENDERS
RCMP MONITORS LICENSED GUN OWNERS INSTEAD – What do you call the group the RCMP considers a bigger threat to public safety than convicted sex offenders, pedophiles and violent criminals? Canada’s 2.1 million licensed firearm owners. While the RCMP investigates every single licenced, law-abiding gun owner in Canada daily as part of their Continuous Licence Eligibility Screening Program, our national police force can’t tell us anything about how often, or even if, they check up on convicted rapists, pedophiles or violent criminals. It’s not that the RCMP doesn’t possess the information. They do. TEAM CSSA E-NEWS | MARCH 10, 2018

CSSA COMMENTARY: MEDIA DUTIFULLY PROMOTE MANUFACTURED “SHOOTING EPIDEMIC”
EXCERPT: Honest researchers with integrity would ask the question and see what conclusion the evidence supports. These people started with their conclusion (guns are bad and hurt children) and kept falsifying the data until it “proved” their preconceived notion. That’s not research. That’s propaganda. And the media party gleefully spread the fake news.
