Canada: HOW DO CRIMINALS KNOW WHERE THE REGISTERED GUNS ARE?
HOW DO CRIMINALS KNOW WHERE THE REGISTERED GUNS ARE?

(1) We have unconfirmed reports of 19 thefts of multiple numbers of handguns from registered owners in the Edmonton area. Two of these victims of crime have complained repeatedly to the RCMP and the Edmonton Police Service that they believe that they were targeted because information in the registry was breached. The Information Commissioner is currently investigating my ATI request to the RCMP on this issue because the RCMP responded that they had no records – even though gun owners complained specifically to the police.

RCMP & CFC HAVE NO RECORDS?

(2) CPIC is breached by persons with access to CPIC computers – some are caught, many are not. These breaches could all result in information on registered guns and their owners addresses being sold or given to criminals or gangs. The RCMP is stalling giving me the updated numbers. The Information Commissioner is investigating my delay complaint.

NOTE: RCMP HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND TO GARRY BREITKREUZ’S AUGUST 11, 2005 ACCESS TO INFORMATION REQUEST FOR UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION ON CPIC BREACHES
(3) The fact is that the RCMP have no way of knowing whether CPIC computers have ever been hacked either.

Easy to get names from [ammunition] record book
——————————————————————————–
Streets gangs zero in on gun owners Jan. 8.
Your article hints there is a degree of mystery concerning how legitimate gun owners are being identified by criminal gangs. While there is evidence that suggests the federal gun registry is now being accessed by criminals, the most glaringly obvious mechanism is the “record book” that the government of Ontario requires ammunition retailers to maintain. All ammunition sales are recorded, with such juicy details as the name, address and firearms licence information of each customer. At major retailers where ammunition is sold in the “sporting goods” department, these records are usually left out in the open, unattended and readily accessible to criminals. Furthermore, the employees handing these records are rarely bonded.
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty could make our streets safer by doing away with this record-keeping requirement – and it wouldn’t cost a penny.
