Mounties seize guns; Canucks learn the value of 2A

The RCMP took guns from evacuated homes. The locals are not pleased.

The guns will be returned to owners after residents are allowed back in town and they provide proof of ownership, Topham added.

You mean until they provide proof of registration?

I'll refrain from adding comments about suggested actions by any of the townspeople smart enough to have kept their firearms with them during evacuation.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Proof of ownership? Here's a bright idea: Give the guns back to the residents of the addresses you took them from. How does that not work?

I wondered about that, too. If they didn't, that needs to be exposed.

Were warrants issued?

If not, does Canadian law permit forcible entry into temporarily unoccupied private homes without a warrant in order to search for valuables of a certain sort?

Or is it a case of "Screw you - today the law is whatever we say it is!"

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

For future reference...

Disaster occurs.

Residents leave homes, securing doors and windows behind them.

Police fear looters will steal guns from homes with no outward evidence of containing guns..

Police break into secured homes (all homes? homes that were on old registry?) to collect guns so looters won't get to them, leaving houses unsecured and easier to loot.

Profit?

Isn't that pretty much the way it works here now unless you have the money to hire a tilecrawler to make it otherwise?
