No one can say how many guns are in Saskatchewan, or who owns them.

RCMP suspected that John Strang had killed his wife and was likely armed when they pulled him over on a road near North Battleford, Sask., in August 2015.

Canada’s electronic spy agency says it is taking the “unprecedented step” of releasing one of its own cyber defence tools to the public, in a bid to help companies and organizations better defend their computers and networks against malicious threats.

Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama, called for the United States to implement an Australian-style gun confiscation program in an article published Wednesday.

Obama previously said in 2016 that the United States should consider following the example of Australia, which enacted a “mandatory buy-back” of guns and created a gun registry. Pfeiffer echoed that view in Wednesday’s article, published on Crooked, a media site founded by three former Obama staffers. Pfeiffer argued Democrats should propose such a program and outlined an extensive regimen of gun restrictions that Democrats could support, advising they stop “insincere pandering” to gun owners.   Continue reading “Fmr. Obama Senior Adviser Calls for Gun Confiscation ‘Similar to the One Australia Instituted’”
