Default 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.

What's wrong, not getting enough reaction?

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.

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.

Funny, I didn't think breaking the door in was such a good idea.
I also don't think removing the firearms was good either, these people
went in and treated this like a warranted search..

We must start protecting our rights. The useless goverments have used
fear to gain more power.

That's what we need to fear.

Agree with you there. Look at the fear government promoted at the
US airports. There is people that believe the airplane they are
getting on would blow up every time if wasn't for the so called airport
security.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard

You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed in on

stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on the warm side of Mercury stupid.
You emit more stupid in one second than our whole galaxy emits in a

universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial

stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of
physics that we know.

I'd like to know how many guns were confiscated when the Cumberland
House Cree Nation was evacuated.

Of course, that would result in ****ed off Indians, so never happened.
A town of white Albertans, on the other hand.

What the cops did in High River was burglary, plain and simple.

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.

What is it you're trying to say? Don't hold back, tell me how you
really feel.

You see, my comment about there being no story here was a troll. And,
people like you are ripe for the picking, especially when it comes to
topics like guns.

Suggest you fly over to Alberta and voice your displeasure.

You sir are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared
richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth
into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody,
abandoned by the puke-drooling giggling beasts that sired you and then
killed themselves in regret for what they had done.

And what meaning do you expect your delusional self-important

spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the snake to bite?

No worries. You don't need any guns to protect yourself, people most
assuredly avoid you at costs anyway.

Nobody cares about you. 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. I could wash my hair with the tears
of shame that your relatives and those around you cry each day.

constantly hangs over your head. I could wash my hair with the tears
of shame that your relatives and those around you cry each day.


Notice how a one or two line reply is enough to send you into a
frenzied, illogical response?

*That's* all the information anybody needs to know about you. You'd be
doing everyone a favour by using one of those guns on yourself.

Excellent work.

As far as the politics goes, we all post here from time to time our

I saw his stuff and it really is excellent work. He appears to be an
all around woodworker.

But, that leads me to question who is *really* posting the gun
rhetoric, him or someone else impersonating him?

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?

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.

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.
