Gun Control is Completely Useless.

Meet the RCMP carbine tactical rifle.

See, this is why I don't believe you.

Did you know RCMP is militia?

The last I heard, the Mounties were in need of some sort of carbine in their cruisers as they have been slaughtered in some numbers in a couple of bad shootings in recent years. Whatever "specials" reside in their lockups is beyond my experience or caring as I do not share your Steven Segal fantasy.

They used these as hand grenades on the Taliban.

Last I checked, they're technically a regiment in the Army. That may have changed.

Do you have Alzheimers?

They've gone all over the world with peacekeeping missions over the decades. I doubt that Mounties have done much combat but if the did, they would probably be using standard Canadian Forces issue Arms (C-7 ?).

Here is Regina city cop with his nonexistent carbine.

Do you have Alzheimers?

That must be new. There was an inquiry on the subject just a couple of years ago.

FYI. we don't have Mounties around here, here except at the airports, Federal ports (photo props in Ottawa). We have the OPP, instead.

But since you're an expert about all things RCMP, you knew that already, didn't you? We see Mounties on TV, here.

 

[petros]

No. They aren't new.

RCMP combat training.

Upon successful completion of the course, ERT members can subsequently take additional training courses including the Sniper /Observer course, the Aircraft assault course and the basic and advanced Marine Operations courses. Each of these courses builds on the knowledge gained on the ERT course and qualifies the member to assume additional operation profiles within the program, and they are all delivered by the National Tactical Training Section (NTTS).

Additionally, there are frequent training scenarios conducted each year, involving one or more teams at a time, with the aim of ensuring that the highly perishable tactical skills are continually practised and refined.

No. They aren't new.

Well, you are reinforcing my argument that these weapons are for professionals, only. I, personally have zero contact with the police aside from being a Scouter alongside a Toronto detective. Perhaps, of you stayed out of trouble, too ...

No they are mounted in patrol vehicles.

And of course, if you aren't fully up on current RCMP equipment, you couldn't possibly have served.

Just like I'm a fraud. A few months ago I referred to "ESC," the U.S. Air Force Electronic Security Command. Turns out it's now the "25th Air Force," which means I couldn't possibly have served in it 30 years ago, because the fact that it's the 25th Air Force means it couldn't EVER have been called the Electronic Security Command or the U.S. Air Force Security Service, because equipment, organizational tables, and nomenclature in the military (and police) NEVER CHANGE!

What is the point of a tactical rifle? Agility, reliability and accuracy.

What's the point of optics if you are going Rambo?

Hate to inform you, but "going Rambo" is not actually a defined military term. And I never watched the movies, so I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about. But that's OK. It's just as when you use some obscure Flatskatchewan slang and feel some sort of superiority to me when I don't understand.

You know that a Navy clearance Diver died in Afghanistan?

In a river?

You were an Intel guy in the USAF.

You must know all about the F-35B.

In a river?

Clearing IEDs ...lest we forget.

 

[taxslave]

How so?



Is the U.S. you can, pretty tough in Canada!

MOney mart. Paydayloans. Better than a printing press.

No, but I'm completely up to date on the F-54 "Bonespur," President Drunkuncle's favorite fighter.

 

[taxslave]

I believe any claim on this board that does not seem outrageous, like a claim of great wealth or great fame, because I have no effective way of proving one way or t'other.

What's the point of claiming somebody's a liar, without extensive evidence to back up that claim?

We're aware you don't like Curious. No need to make yourself even more of a jerk about it.

I believe you're a farmer in Flatkatchewan. I believe you have an advanced degree in geology. I believe you have a family. I could claim none of that's true, and you're actually an unemployed drunk in Toronto. But what's the point?



K, here goes. I've seen the sun rise over the Berlin Wall and set over Mt. Fuji. I held the line against the only existential threat the U.S. (and Canada, by the way) has faced since 1814. And I'm standing, and it's not.

I win.

My wife was there when the wall came down and she didn't pack a gun.
At least two people are alive today because I was in the right place with the right skill set.
And you think playing soljer for a couple of years makes you a hero?

You didn't miss anything.

Probably as much as you pretending to be a firefighter makes you a hero
