This isn't an article, it's an opinion piece. Why didn't they (National Post) put this out as an article if it isn't just more of their FUD pushing conservative talking points?

There's no info on when the RCMP paper was written, what the agenda is, who wrote it, or how it was discovered to make the ATIP request. It's just a lot of opinion on the economy.

And then OP makes it about guns. If you're going to add commentary at least put it in the comments so it can be voted on separately.
