Canada's firearm declaration deadline has passed with only 2.5% compliance, prompting the government to announce plans for the RCMP to collect firearms door-to-door. This initiative is reportedly funded by additional resources, including off-duty and retired officers, to avoid straining existing law enforcement capacity. However, internal recordings suggest the Minister of Public Safety privately admitted the program's cost-effectiveness is questionable and its continuation is politically motivated to appease voters in Quebec, rather than being driven by genuine safety concerns.
This video features an ATF agent discussing strategies to combat gun violence by focusing on identifying and apprehending individuals actively shooting guns, rather than solely on gun control measures. The agent emphasizes the importance of investigating all shootings, not just homicides, and highlights successful implementations of this strategy in Denver. He argues that focusing on the shooter and enforcing existing laws against shooting is more effective than new gun control legislation.
This video argues that while background checks seem reasonable on the surface, the current system's effectiveness is hampered by a lack of prosecution for those who fail checks or lie on purchase forms. The speaker highlights that in 2010, out of 76,000 individuals who failed a background check, only 13 were prosecuted. The commentary suggests that expanding background checks without addressing enforcement will not significantly improve safety and could be a political agenda rather than a genuine safety measure.
