This is great news -- the northerners are taking EVERY precaution to
ensure that guns -- real or imagined -- are properly handled regardless
of cost or consequence.

It doesn't really matter that the law-abiding have lost their rights
because of their fanaticism, as long as we get guns and "The Club" out
of the hands of everyone.

Thanks for posting!

What a bunch of bullshit. There are so many hosed up aspects of the story
that it is hard to name them all.

This is even worse that the CA woman getting cuffed/hassled/lectured because
her 5 year old was playing with a plastic gun in the back seat of her van.

Actually if I may, the real problem is the police. Police chiefs and
their departments have launched a major offensive against gun owners in
Canada for at least the last 10 years. They are mad as hell that the
long gun registry is soon to be eliminated. They are making an organized
effort to pressure the politicians into not only keeping the gun
registry but also extending their police powers in real or imaginary
''gun situations''. The gun laws in Canada have essentially suspended
many of the basic rights of gun owners. For example, a gun owner's
residence may be entered without a search warrant at any time and we are
talking no knock entries here. They are manipulating the citizenry into
2 groups,the gun owner's group who are all potential killers, and the
non gun owning group who are all potential victims.people are so dumb
these days that they donT grasp that we are witnessing the slow but
quite evident installation of a police state.

A very good presentation describing the upsurge of a police state
fantasy the "Neo-Nazis" have. They are very ignorant to human rights,
since they are nothing but "Peel" Subjects in their unregistered gun gang
toting capacity.

They rely mostly on the registry's ^shopping list^ capacity to
acquire more drugs and guns for Consignment *Resale* personal profits to
beef up their little army.

The police are now to be considered Military who do nothing but
break the "posse comitatus act" and think nothing of civil or
congressional judges.

THEY have a New Orleans Ray Nagin attitude who raided ONLY the
"white" gun owners and released the Black jailbirds afterwards. In spite
of Congresses order (4 years ago) for R. Nagin to return the guns, they
have refused any person with the proper serial number/picture/description
at the New Orleans gun heist depot.

Despite all that and more, they reelected Nagin who cut off
communications in Orleans in Katrina for absolute power,....no wonder even
FEMA only sent 10% of what they required.

Based on particular NOLA project it seems only blacks and crooks
can have guns. His reelection is based on his plea bargaining by
ratting-out some senators. So we have internal conflicts here. but that
does NOT return the guns to the ppl they stole from.

Guys like Idi Amin, R. Nagin, Hussein/Obama, etc., will get what
comes around.
