Freedom Convoy leaders claim 'nefarious elements' are planning to plant 2,000 stolen guns on protesters in Ottawa to 'discredit' their movement - after Mounties arrested 11 with cache of firearms in Alberta

Leaders of the Freedom Convoy protests in Canada have alleged that 'nefarious elements' are plotting to plant stolen guns on demonstrators in Ottawa in a bid to 'discredit' their movement, a day after Mounties seized 15 guns and arrested 11 people thousands of miles away in Alberta.

Danny Bulford, the self-described head of security for the Freedom Convoy, made the allegation in a video address late Monday night, suggesting the plot is connected to a truck full of firearms that was stolen in Ontario on Sunday.

'We received information from multiple believed-reliable sources that firearms may be planted in Ottawa, specifically around the Freedom Convoy, to discredit the protest and to use as a pretext to forcibly remove peaceful protesters,' said Bulford, a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer.

...

Unlike the United States, where firearms are primarily regulated by the state, in Canada, firearms are federally regulated.

Some weapons, including automatic weapons, sawed-off shotguns and rifles, and switch blade knives, are 'prohibited weapons.'

Other firearms, such as handguns and semi-automatic weapons with short barrels (less than 18 1/2 inches), are 'restricted weapons.'

Anyone may possess a restricted firearm if they have obtained a 'registration certificate.'

Hunting rifles and shotguns are neither restricted nor prohibited, but it is illegal to possess them without a firearms acquisitions certificate.

Sounds a tad suspicious to me. But, what do I know? Could it be to “prove” justine true-DOH is right about the need for implementing the ‘emergencies act’?

The story about the guns being found it total BS. The RCMP most likely planted those guns.

Guns in vehicles in aalberta shouldn’t be a great shock. Alberta is the northern version of Arizona. I worked up there for 4 years back in the early eighties and the only difference between Albertan and Arizonans was the tan.

Funny how those 2,000 guns were stolen at just the right time!

I wouldn’t put it past the government - or its supporters - to steal guns and plant them among caravan supporters. That’s what the socialist West has come to.

Since policy in Ottawa is made by opinion poll - this “illegal gun” story is targeted specifically at all the Karens in Canada.

Say what? Brand new Savage .22's, giving them out for free?

I could use a couple or three, with a couple or three extra magazines for each. Preference for the Savage bolt action to the "old" semiautos but the "new" A22 action looks actually pretty good and maybe preferable in certain applications...

Maybe some gift cards for optical sights and slings, and oh, maybe a thousand rounds of CCI ammo for starters... one wouldn't want to wax greedy after all...

I mean as long as Castreau's feeling generous...

These guys seem to be much smarter than the GOP-e leadership.
Also seem to be way better connected.

On average, Albertans are getting darker, though not neccessarily for the same reason as Arizonans are dark.

Unfortunately, under Prime Mistake ‘Little Potato’ True-dolt’s population replacement policy, er, ‘immigration’ policy 😉😉, he has flooded Alberta with 100s of thousands of immigrants from warmer climes, like the Middle East and Africa. What is common among them? Few, if any Christians or Jews and PLENTY whose religion was created by a murdering pedophile rapist robber!

The major cities, Calgary and Edmonton, have become cesspools of socialism. Ralph Klein would be spinning in his grave!

This sounds like rumor or misinformation. I don’t believe it.

15 guns among 11 people is NOT a "cache of firearms"!!!

Why were they arrested?

What are the charges?

If you stop 11 rigs in Texas, you're likely to find 15 guns, LEGALLY CARRIED!!!

I always tell my friends and family on things like this looks who benfits and looks who gets hurt and those who benefit usually are the cause.
