Re: RCMP BOOTS doors in to sieze firearms

As we don't have a right to bear arms (thank goodness), it makes sense that potential weapons be secured. Can you imagine the hoo ha if there was looting or weapons were stolen and appeared on the street and used in a murder in Edmonton, Winnipeg or Toronto? Then folks would be all over the RCMP for not securing weapons in the flood. Damned if they do and damned if they don't situation.

No it doesn't make any sense. It's a violation of the law, the intent of the law, and the word of the law. In following with that, it's probably also a charter violation. I don't remember much looting ever going on here in Canada. Then again, we have guns show up in exactly those cases from...B&E's even though they have been stored securely in gun safes.

They're neither damned if they do or don't. They're out to do this because they think they can get away with it. The same as them deciding to "reclassify" guns that have been available here legally for decades.

It is surprising how many Canadians are not aware of this... Thanks for posting...

Most Canadians are probably unaware of it because it's completely without merit. The argument seems to basically be that "a foreign law that predates the existence of our country by nearly 200 years mentions that people of a certain religion were disarmed without justification, so Canadians have a right to bear arms", and that argument is pretty laughable.

I don't think Canadians should be arbitrarily prevented from owning firearms, but I also don't think that we have a right to them.
