Today's fake CBC news

Despite all the obvious issues, let's blame Donald Trump for 3D printed guns...Of course, there are a few flies in the ointment...

"Gun industry experts have expressed doubt that criminals would go to the trouble, since the printers needed to make the guns are very expensive, the guns themselves tend to disintegrate quickly and traditional firearms are easy to come by."

But, wait... let's ask an objective source...

The settlement, which was signed in April but only took effect in late June, says that the DEFCAD files in question are "approved for public release (unlimited distribution) in any form and are exempt from the export licensing requirements of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations."

The State Department has also agreed to pay Defense Distributed's legal fees, which total nearly $40,000.

It's important to remember, this was all Obama era stuff...

The federal civil suit began more than five years ago when Cody Wilson and his group, Defense Distributed, published designs for the "Liberator," the world’s first 3D-printed handgun.

In the United States, the Supreme Court has generally rejected the concept of prior restraint.

Ted Kennedy's car has still killed more people than all the 3D printed guns in the world.

Fahad was residing at a Thorncliffe Park address with his parents Faroq and Sutana Hussain as part of his release when he was arrested once again in February 2017 and charged with breaching his bail conditions after he was allegedly found to be in possession of a shotgun shell. He was also charged with violating his curfew..

To date, no member of the Hussain family has spoken publicly or made any direct contact with media. Hashim refused to answer questions from the Sun about the Hussain family and his connection with them.

And where's the evidence for all your assertions about mental illness? And I don't just mean anecdotes from friends...

The National Post has learned that Toronto Police files show little evidence of the typical history of a person with a florid mental illness such as “psychosis,” as his family said. A senior police source, while cautioning that this doesn’t mean Hussain wasn’t mentally ill, said that often with such people, there are frequent encounters with police — calls from the family for help, suicide attempts or committals to hospital under the Mental Health Act.

With Hussain, the source said, “we have very little of that.”

The third party, who had distributed the family’s statement, didn’t reply to a Post email Tuesday, asking if he had any light to shed on the apparent contradiction between the statement and police files.

Speaking with CP24 on Thursday afternoon, Toronto Police Association President Mike McCormack did welcome the news that additional officers will be patrolling the city but said that it is a temporary, imperfect solution.

A sporting goods store employee, Dean Crouch, 32, who last month helped catch a suspect allegedly trying to steal a .40 caliber handgun and matching ammunition, was suspended and later lost his job at the Florida business following the incident, his lawyer said.

His attorney, Ryan Hobbs, claimed his client was placed on suspension in the days after the incident amid a policy that prohibits employees from placing their hands on customers while they’re in the store.

Company spokeswoman Elise Hasbrook told the Democrat that Academy Sports’s treatment of the former employee’s conduct, as well as his eventual firing, complied with company policy.
