RCMP ‘UNABLE TO LOCATE RECORDS’ ON UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFER OF FIREARMS BY LICENSED GUN OWNERS
BILL BLAIR: “…reports show that domestic crime guns have been illegally diverted (straw purchases).” RCMP ATIP RESPONSE: “The Canadian Firearms Program does not hold such records.” RCMP Response to Access to Information Act File: A-2019-06359 dated Nov 26, 2019 received Dec 3, 2019 by Dennis R. Young

OCTOBER 13, 2018 – FACTSCAN: BILL BLAIR: ON CRIME GUNS
By Nojan Kamoosi on October 13, 2018: Bill Blair, Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction and MP for Scarborough Southwest, on CBC’s The House on July 28, 2018: ‘While the data on this topic is limited and somewhat flawed, experts agree that historically, most crime guns in Canada have arrived unlawfully from the US. Some new reports contradict this view and imply that a higher rate of crime guns are domestically sourced, however, these reports show that domestic crime guns have been illegally diverted (straw purchases), as opposed to being legally owned by the perpetrators.” FactsCan Score: True

SEPTEMBER 13, 2018 – RCMP HAVE NO RECORDS TO SUPPORT CLAIMS OF ‘STRAW PURCHASES’
CBC NEWS June 14, 2018: “It’s the main source of how firearms are being purchased and how they come into people’s hands on the streets nowadays,” said Sgt. Eric Stewart, head of the Guns and Gangs unit for the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT).”  RCMP ATIP RESPONSE: “Based on the information provided, a search for records was conducted in Edmonton, Alberta and Ottawa, Ontario. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate records which respond to your request.”

RCMP REFUSE TO RELEASE THE NAME OF PROVINCE WITH THE ONE ‘PROTECTION OF LIFE’ CARRY PERMIT

RCMP REFUSE TO RELEASE THE NAME OF PROVINCE WITH THE ONE ‘PROTECTION OF LIFE’ CARRY PERMIT

RCMP INSIST PROVIDING THE NAME OF THE PROVINCE WITH THE ONE PROTECTION OF LIFE CARRY PERMIT WILL ‘SERIOUSLY THREATEN THE SAFETY AND HEALTH OF AN INDIVIDUAL’ – The Director of Investigations with the Office of the Information Commissioner supports the RCMP decision to withhold the name of the province and found my complaint to ‘not well-founded’. Letter from the Office of the Information Commissioner dated November 5, 2019 EXCERPT: “In addition to the information above, the RCMP provided our Office with examples of incidents where aggressive behaviour was directed at a specific person or persons under the witness protection program (and to whom a 20(a) ATC might apply). This information, in our view, established a reasonable basis for believing that the safety of a 20(a) ATC holder could be threatened (physically or psychologically) should the holder be rendered identifiable.”

EXCERPT FROM MY COMPLAINT LETTER: “I fail to understand how releasing the number of ‘Protection of Life’ carry permits could ‘reasonably be expected to threaten the safety of individuals.’ There is no way a number can be connected to an actual individual with a carry permit so how could it possibly threaten anyone’s safety?”

MAY 2, 2019 – RCMP REPORT ISSUING ONE PROTECTION OF LIFE CARRY PERMIT
