A Conservative MP is criticizing federal public safety minister Marco Mendicino over his comments that the government of Alberta is “reckless” and performing a “political stunt” in pushing back Liberals’ gun confiscation program.

In a Twitter post on Oct. 2, Dan Albas waded into the firearm confiscation feud between Mendicino and Alberta after the minister accused the province’s justice minister and solicitor general Tyler Shandro of “insinuating that the RCMP will not be enforcing federal law.”
