TheGunBlog.ca (EXCLUSIVE) — The RCMP is asking retired and former police in its Reserve Program to help the Liberal Party of Canada’s political and regulatory attacks against government-licensed firearm owners and businesses.

RCMP Reserve Program

The RCMP Reserve Program this month contacted members in New Brunswick, its “J Division,” to join the Liberals’ forced rifle and shotgun confiscations targeting licence holders.

They referred to the crackdown ordered on 01 May 2020 as the “Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program.” Although the Liberals have said they would pay firearm owners who surrender their gear for destruction, no compensation program exists, and the Liberals are scrambling to execute seizures they’ve been preparing since 2018.

‘Reservists Are Crucial’

“The J Division Reservists are crucial to the success of this program, please take the time to consider your participation and commitment to this RCMP public safety priority,” Allen Farrah, the RCMP Reserve Program’s New Brunswick coordinator for the confiscations, said in an e-mail to reservists.

The full e-mail is below.

Why It Matters

  • The RCMP is a Liberal partner for the authoritarian crackdown targeting honest citizens, instead of protecting honest citizens from it.
  • The Liberal+RCMP attacks undermine social stability and public safety by destroying respect for politicians and police, government institutions, and the law.
  • Anyone who helps with the raids could be assigned to seize goods from family, friends, neighbours, and colleagues who intend to keep their goods.
  • Although some RCMP employees support the crackdowns, many current and former staff oppose them. (Some of them subscribe to TheGunBlog.ca.)

Many Unknowns

  • Is the RCMP asking reservists to assist with the forced seizures in New Brunswick only, or also in other regions? Alberta and Saskatchewan have passed laws to block the confiscations, and other provinces also oppose them.
  • Why is the RCMP working on a compensation program that doesn’t exist? (Unless they’re copying the misleading Liberal name for the effort to criminalize and confiscate?)
  • Is RCMP calling on reservists to help on the ground with door-to-door confiscation raids targeting individuals and/or businesses, handing out cheques for some imaginary/forthcoming compensation, or other tasks?
  • Since the confiscation fantasy is on track to fail, why is the RCMP still working on it at all?

RCMP NB: ‘National Program’

“As this is a national program, I would ask that you contact our colleagues at RCMP National Media Relations office,” Hans Ouellette, a spokesperson for the RCMP in New Brunswick, told TheGunBlog.ca today after we published this report.
