Backstage at SPVM firearm unit
The Journal went backstage, so to speak, at the SPVM firearms unit, where they analyze guns that have been used or seized, do ballistic studies, fingerprints, all that CSI stuff.
I spotted this story because the mayor thanked them on Twitter.

TIL that rifles are too long for ♻️ wheelie bins. (header photo)

Some rifles don’t fit. That really odd looking one fits. It’s an Israeli-made Tavor TAR-21, which is an assault rifle used by the IDF and is designed to be short, for close-quarters combat. WTF is someone doing in Montreal with a TAR-21? (Picture farther down also shows an Israeli Uzi, but those were super popular in the 90s, so everybody wanted one.)
