Has anyone seen any reports (yet) of what firearm(s) were used in the Nova Scotia mass shootings? Typically the MSM vilifies the model of firearm within a day or two of the massacre.

Nope. Canadians can be reticent about such things, much the same as British LE.

Nothing specific. Canadian media have quoted police that a rifle, shotgun, and handgun were used. One gun was traced to a Canadian source, the others are believed to have been obtained in the US.

The guns didn’t do it anyway.
It doesn’t matter.

I had assumed (which I know is dangerous) it was at least one handgun since he resembled a genuine police office so closely in personal appearance and with his vehicle that the real police did not figure out he was an impersonator until almost 8 hours after this all started. I figured his sidearm must have been the same or close to whatever the real officers carry.

Well, after killing her he would have had access to the RCMP officer's gun, likely a 3rd gen S&W.
OP
True, dead is dead, and the gun didn't initiate the killing, it was just the tool that was utilized. I asked only because it would be beneficial to have an idea of what else our anti-gun community may go after.
She was apparently one of the last people killed.
N.S. mass murderer’s uniform, cruiser let him kill at will. He looked like one of us, RCMP say | National Post
PS. This is far and away the best article I have read on this tragedy.

If it can project anything that could injure anyone, the anti's will be after it.
Then they should be chasing their own tails

I wonder if RCMP had more than their DA-only S&W 9mms.
They 're supposed to have M-4's, but the Force's bosses have been slow to issue many.
Saw a CBC show on that issue.
In an incident a few years ago in New Brunswick, some had what looked like their own hunting shotguns.

My wife's family on her dads side came from that area and was born in Bass River, NS. These Canada people march to a different drummer and the RCMP people are few and far between. I emailed the relatives and they are all OK but shocked that such a incident took place in their backyard, so to speak.They are good people who live and exist under completely different set of rules. Their education is better, as is their healthcare and economy. They are fast catching up but the first time I traveled there in the early sixties it seemed their way of life was at least one, maybe two generations behind ours. Now they are very close to the same. Good people, mostly!

The newspaper article this morning said only "a handgun and several long-barreled guns." Some indication that at least one gun was from the USA.

Well, some have a technical or historical curiosity.
I like knowing about John Wilkes Booth's derringer. And who made the daggers used to kill Julius Caesar, if that had been recorded.

Your title is just Nova Scotia...On the positive side, remember that the province gave us the wonderful singer, Anne Murray, and that Russell-Grohman knives are made in Pictou, NS.

I think we would be better off if they didn’t report 24/7 on these shootings. Just gives nuts ideas.
