So long as it wasn't an AR15 it won't really change or amplify the current public sentiment on either side of the debate. It will however underline that the RCMP are not doing well on the background check side of things, just as they aren't calling most peoples PAL application references. I've never been called on the times I've been asked to be a reference, nor were any of mine, nor were the references of a number of people I've spoken with. If they ran the program that far over budget and weren't even putting in the most fundamental safety 'legwork' in the first place, where the heck was all that money spent by the Liberals??
