Kelowna, West Kelowna and the regional district of Nanaimo all want out of the tax, which they say unfairly targets vacation homeowners.

The RCMP is sitting on data that could flag legal gun owners who sell guns to criminals, Toronto's mayor charges.

It's common for judges to issue orders banning people from owning crossbows. But people selling crossbows have no way of knowing about the orders. That would be easy to fix, an Ottawa lawyer says.

Gun licence applicants must provide character references and names of current and former partners. But the RCMP doesn't always contact them.

RCMP won't tell us how many applications were approved or how many were for bears and how many were "concealed carry" permits for people whose lives are threatened by other individuals.

Would taking away the RCMP's ability to classify firearms politicize the process, or de-politicize it? Depends whom you ask.

Officials at Public Safety have been using multiple estimates - including media reports - to figure out how many guns they just banned.

Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney seemed caught off-guard when the RCMP banned about 8,000 rifles. Now, his office wants a 'permanent solution.'

Police say they plan to issue special bulletins to firearms businesses and police to encourage people to turn in their now-prohibited guns.

An RCMP decision on an Alberta man's exotic pistol could widen a loophole doubling the legal magazine capacity for semi-automatic rifles.
