O/T: GUN CONFISCATION IN CANADA! (fixed broken link)
Unbelievable, RCMP comes into your own home, takes your property, then
demands proof of ownership to get it back. http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/06...h-river-homes/ This principle was predicted in Canada years ago, and the Canadian government has not disappointed their citizens. http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/video/f.../2081848359001 |

The main motivation for removing the firearms was to prevent them from being stolen by looters. While I agree that I wouldn't want law enforcement entering my home to search for firearms without a valid warrant, I'd much rather have them do it than have someone come and loot my property. In the end, the firearms will be returned to the owners. There's no real story here so climb back into your hole. |

Look at this way, if the government employed security people doing a half ass job were not doing this they would be somewhere else doing a half ass job or be at home collecting unemployment. This is how the government makes unemployment numbers look lower than they are. |

O/T: GUN CONFISCATION IN CANADA! (fixed broken link)

Do you actually think that not having fire arms in your home will prevent some one from breaking in/looting? Looters tend to break into anywhere looking for anything that is easy to pick up and sell. Cash and jewelery come to mind. Of course not. However, knowing that my home might be flooded would prompt me to have smaller articles like jewelry and cash ready to take with me on a moment's notice. Firearm owners are legally obligated to have their restricted weapons (hand guns) secured. (such as a gun safe). Tell me, were there any comments from gun owners complaining about police breaking into their gun safes? If not, then the gun owners left their firearms easily obtainable. If they were handguns not properly secured, then the homeowners were breaking the law. If they were rifles not properly secured, then at the very least, the homeowners were guilty of being negligent. Not a chargeable offense, but certainly one that the should be admonished for. Understand, I'm not condoning police breaking into homes without warrants on any account, but in the case of firearms, I can understand their thinking. If I was a cop, I'd want as few guns available for theft as possible. For all you Americans, understand that this is Canada. We don't have a second amendment and we don't have the gun culture that you do. We all didn't grow up with guns available most everywhere and most of us don't subscribe to the notion that we should all be armed. |

If I was a cop, I'd want as few guns available for theft as possible. I don't know what Canadian law allows LEO's to do, but here, the "wants" of a police agency do not constitute probable cause. (Not to say that it doesn't happen under the cloak of some trumped up reason...). The thought that has circled around in my mind as this thing has become public is that if the RCMP was so very concerned for looting, then shouldn't they have better spent their energies patroling in various ways, to prevent looting of all sorts, rather than the approach they decided upon? For all you Americans, understand that this is Canada. We don't have a second amendment and we don't have the gun culture that you do. We all didn't grow up with guns available most everywhere and most of us don't subscribe to the notion that we should all be armed. It sees that is true in the metro areas, or maybe in the eastern part of the country, but is it the same in the remote regions? -- -Mike- |

It sees that is true in the metro areas, or maybe in the eastern part of the country, but is it the same in the remote regions? Of course not. Between farmers, hunters, hobbyists and especially aboriginals, there's plenty who subscribe to the gun culture. However, I dare say that country wide, those groups very outnumbered. According to current stats, the amount of guns has increased while the number of gun owners has dropped. That suggests to me that an increasing population don't feel that gun ownership is necessary. http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/01...r-owners-rcmp/ |

That suggests to me that an increasing population don't feel that gun ownership is necessary. http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/01...r-owners-rcmp/ Looks like those stats are (at the very least), in dispute from more than one organization. One always has to wonder when things like this are published - and by that I mean to wonder about the claims from all sides. So much of it is speculation. It's easy to draw conclusions that aren't really reflective of reality. Who knows? As for being outnumbered - I know so little about the dispersion of population (beyond the obvious...) in Canada, that it's really lost on me when it comes to understanding how outnumbered any particular group is. I would suppose it is safe to assume that in metro areas (just about anywhere), the population at large considers gun ownership unnecessary, when compared to the population of the remote areas. Notwithstanding gangs, of course. Trends fluctuate, and for at least a brief time (don't know if this trend is still growing), we saw a significant surge in gun ownership, pistol permit applications, etc. in areas where historically, there was little or no interest in it. Clearly, in response to some of the incidents that made headlines over the past couple/few years. Likewise, we had been observing a general decline in the number of hunters, which over time will generally be reflected as a decline in gun ownership as attrition plays its hand on a population. What's all this mean - not a damned thing. Just morning musings. -- -Mike- |

Have not googled that yet Dave, but your point here only serves to contradict you points earlier - or at least seemingly so. Maybe what is at work here is a really bad RCMP organization that is only now proving that point again(?) I really need to bail out of this though - it's a very interesting thread, but I get accused of being the perpetrator of these things if I hang out in threads like this too long - even if I didn't start them, and when the foretathers of this group inserted their thoughts before I did. I'll be happy to explore ideas off-line. -- -Mike- |

You are alone in this world. Your self-delusions are of almost frightening proportions, and your lunacy reaches record-setting levels. You are laughed at, mocked, and despised by many. You have made yourself look like such a fool that nobody takes you seriously. You have proven your stupidity numerous times and you have yet to cease in that endeavor. It is as if you are on a constant quest to see how much ignorance you can come up with before you slip into the abyss once again. You are an enigma, a riddle that is unable to be solved. Scholars ponder over your lack of a clue. History shall record that you were one of few humans able to function without a fully developed brain. Nobody believes in you, and even if they did they would think you a figment of their imagination. The very idea of you as a species of human is laughable, but to call you a simian would insult apes. Your sad attempts at looking "cool" only cause you to humiliate yourself more, and you have put six people into the hospital with punctured lungs from laughing so hard at your idiocy. The stench of your failure can be smelled for miles around you, wafting in a circular pattern of honest inconsistency that would baffle the greatest minds man has ever known. Weathermen plot their forcasts around the cloud of shame that constantly hangs over your head.

Hendrik, if this is really you, welcome to the group.
I have not seen you here much before this argument? / Discussion? Street fight? I just went to your website. Excellent work. As far as political stuff.... lets keep it ww.. You are far too good a woodworker to lose you. Please post ww stuff. As far as the politics goes, we all post here from time to time our rants... most of us take some heat for it... So feel free to ignore my keep it WW... but still stay and post some WW stuff. For those of you that didn't see his ww stuff... http://passionforwood.com/woodworking/ or http://passionforwood.com in which he also has a food site.. -- Jeff |

It's not just High River - the same thing happened in Slave Lake when 1/4 of our town burned down.
When our town burned, the long gun registry was still in effect - my guns (in a locker under a bed) were untouched. Other people had safes torched open. |

The registry had been rescinded with the promise that long gun records were "poison fruit" when High River happened. Personally, I would feel better if the RCMP had simply patrolled for looters rather than becoming looters. I would figure those readers in the US would have been all over "illegal search and siezure". FWIW, the two weeks we were gone were spent in our holiday trailer at a campground in Westlock, Alberta - our house unlocked the entire time. Were their guns returned to them? -- www.ewoodshop.com (Mobile) |

When our town burned, one of the major problems was ammunition. It may be secured from human malefactors but when everything burns at hundreds if not thousands of degrees, the danger to firefighters is a BIG problem. twitch, jo4hn Actually, this is more of a misconception than a reality. A lot of tests have been done and well documented on ammo burning in a fire and the conclusions are easily found with a google search. It turns out that there is little risk to fire fighters or other people nearby, from a cache of sporting ammo in a burning house. The bullet does not go flying out as if it were shot from a gun, and in fact is typically travels with less velocity and potential for harm, than the brass shards from the case. Those shards, do not typically travel with enough velocity to cause significant harm. Not that you'd want to throw a box of ammo into the next marshmellow fire, but the real risks of ammo in a fire are well misunderstood by most people. I was a firefighter for a lot of years, and have attended many house fires in which the owner stocked guns and ammo. Most people around here do. I never heard of any injuries related to ammo exploding in a fire. That's the kind of thing one would at least hear about in fire training if it were a real threat. -- -Mike- |

O/T: GUN CONFISCATION IN CANADA! (fixed broken link)
Bullets and power are small stuff.
Consider 500 gallon propane bottles or the 30 / 60 gallons on the house... Consider the wool rug - it gives off cyanide gas. Plastics vaporize into dangerous chemicals and then deposit in lungs. Far more to consider. Martin On 9/13/2013 12:28 PM, jo4hn wrote: On 9/12/2013 11:30 PM, wrote: It's not just High River - the same thing happened in Slave Lake when 1/4 of our town burned down. When our town burned, the long gun registry was still in effect - my guns (in a locker under a bed) were untouched. Other people had safes torched open. The registry had been rescinded with the promise that long gun records were "poison fruit" when High River happened. Personally, I would feel better if the RCMP had simply patrolled for looters rather than becoming looters. I would figure those readers in the US would have been all over "illegal search and siezure". FWIW, the two weeks we were gone were spent in our holiday trailer at a campground in Westlock, Alberta - our house unlocked the entire time. When our town burned, one of the major problems was ammunition. It may be secured from human malefactors but when everything burns at hundreds if not thousands of degrees, the danger to firefighters is a BIG problem. twitch, jo4hn |

O/T: GUN CONFISCATION IN CANADA! (fixed broken link)
Were the fire arms returned? As far as we can prove, yes. but many questions remain unanswered. Houses left intact are easily explained. Houses destroyed - totally or partially - are still an unknown entity - not to mention "your stuff goes missing without your permission". Does it really matter if the thief is wearing a uniform or not?
If the ammunition is in a house that is burning, the danger is minimal as long as the round isn't chambered (well over 10 years on our local FD). The brass casing with split long before any projectiles become a concern. If the house is fully involved, what are you going to save? The story we got for confiscation was the "looters stealing guns" malarkey.... After the furball in Slave Lake, I am worried as to why they felt repeating the exercise in High River was a wise move. |
