There is much more at stake for the RCMP concerning this mass shooting event. The perpetrator was rumoured to have been an RCMP paid source. He was also a violent offender denied by the courts from owning firearms for life. Once through the courts and legally banned from accessing firearms no further legal action or surveillance was provided to ensure he was complying with the court orders. Yet, he was able to get two rifles and ammunition undetected by the authorities. No red flags were raised when he bought two vehicles and applied RCMP markings on them.
Because of the RCMPs incompetence in handling their source legal gun owners have had their semi automatic rifles banned. It all worked out for the Liberal government in the end, they just need to keep a lid on the real background story. Something the RCMP does very well.
