Citing an average wait time of eight months for tests sent to the federal forensic lab, the province will invest $500,000 in expanding firearm testing facilities in Calgary and Edmonton.

"This will speed up the testing process to ensure that no prosecution of a gun crime gets derailed because tests are being held up down in Ottawa," Kenney said.

The labs will be a partnership with the Edmonton Police Service, Calgary Police Service, RCMP and the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams.

Awww! Poor gun owners have to wait for old labs to test things.

I wonder how cancer patients feel now that Kenney cancelled that big new shiny health lab that would have sped up and improved the accuracy of medical tests?

Just reading your post DR. Not the link. Sounds like the lab is going to speed UP the process for prosecution of gun crimes NOT for getting a new gun for a gun owner. I don't see this as a bad thing.

And YEAH why not build the medical lab? Fuck, saving lives is a bad thing to this Kenny person? Sorry don't follow enough to know who he/she is but they need to think on that a little bit.

I don't either, but there are many other priorities right now.

Jason Kenney is the Premier of Alberta. I just call him 'Kenny'.

The Superlab was proposed by the previous government as a way to replace the old and outdated labs that many hospitals have, and take away testing from a private contractor who's contract was to expire about the same time as the lab was to come on line. it would save time, money and improve accuracy for medical tests throughout the province.

Kenny stopped it while it was stll under construction. Now there is a half built building sitting there.

Great another moron as a gov official.

"I don't either, but there are many other priorities right now." Okay I get way you posted what you did.

The news broke today that the Nova Scotia mass shooter's guns that he used in the rampage (4 of his own plus the one he stole from the RCMP officer he murdered) were all illegal to be owned/possessed privately inside Canada. Three of his own firearms were apparently bought in the US and he smuggled them into Canada, and one he somehow managed to acquire illegally inside our country.

That basically means the extra firearms that were added to the banned list weren't among the ones he used. Or they were already on the banned list and he didn't care and managed to acquire them anyway. None of them had been stolen from other gun owners. He had the money and the will to get hold of them and none of the pre-existing rules or regulations did anything in the slightest to stop him. With this being the case why are other gun owners, the ones who never would and never will commit any sort of atrocity of that sort, being punished for what this monster did?

The world wonders, and the "reason" why exists only inside of the minds of the statist liberal Canadian mind, with the primary motivation for more banning obviously being no more logically developed than they find these pieces of equipment to scary to permit. And that's despite of the obvious reality that over 99.9999% of the people who already have them will never use them in any sort of violent crime.

Go easy on him, testing takes time when you only have paws for hands. Besides he’s been a good boy. Whosagoodboy?

Based on the past 30 years in Canada, it looks like the best piece of gun control legislation was the ban on high capacity magazines, because it limited the mayhem most of these inexperienced perprtrators could cause.

As for the ban list, who really needs an AR-15 or most of the other weapons on it? Nobody, that's who. You don't need them to hunt or for home defence or for target shooting, because other weapons are better for those tasks. People just want them because they look cool.
