On top of that, this was political opportunism at its worst. Grave dancing that the Liberals are oh-so-good at. They've always wanted to ban guns, and they had legislation in the wings waiting for a politically advantageous situation to develop. And then they somehow got their wish.

It doesn't help that the not-yet-fully-proven allegation that the N.S. shooter was a paid RCMP/police informant, and that he had withdrawn upwards of $475,000 in cash via a method only reserved for behind-the-scenes police payouts doesn't really make anyone feel good about the intent of everyone involved. There are lots of theories floating around, and when things like this come out it's hard not to think that there might have been some collusion/coercement, or something more sinister.

At the end of the day, a crazy guy doing crazy things always makes the most sense. Occam's razor rules the day, most times. But, I think this is something that needs to be looked into more closely, yet nobody seems all that interested in doing that.

To be quite honest, I haven't been paying all that much attention to the investigation hearings, so please correct me if they've mentioned something like this, or debunked it altogether.

This is complete bunk and appears to be dreamt up by author Paul Palango. This is simply wrong, and not a method for police payouts to informants or agents. Full stop.
