"It?s just like Nazi Germany" all guns seized in Alberta flood town
 

Guess the RCMP "broke" into everybodies homes during the Flood in Alberta and seized all their guns...looks like a standoff is a brewing between the cops and the citizens:2 cents:

I'm sure Jews world wide would agree fully with that statement.

What a bunch of morons. Like they didnt have better things to be doing at the time other than searching through peoples' private property. They are saying they took only unsafely stored firearms and that they will be giving them back but I will believe that when I see it happen.

Just like Nazi Germany - I can't see any differences at all....

The Nazis didnt seize everyones guns. :2 cents:

quote was taken from the newspaper....

They did the same thing after Hurricane Katrina. The National Guard went door to door taking legal weapons from their owners.

The ironic thing is, people get weapons to protect themselves during tikes like that when others may be looting or inflicting harm on others, and that is when the weapons are taken from them. Doesn't make a God damned bit of sense.

You should either be allowed to have them or not. None of this in-between nonsense where they can take them from you during an emergency where God forbid you may actually need them.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office is urging the RCMP in High River, Alta., to focus on "more important" tasks and to return the guns officers took from homes while searching for victims in the evacuated flood zone.

Harper's office issued a statement Friday morning in quick reaction to the news that the RCMP had taken some firearms that they said weren't stored properly in empty homes.

"If any firearms were taken, we expect they will be returned to their owners as soon as possible," the statement said. "We believe the RCMP should focus on more important tasks such as protecting lives and private property."

"We are expressing our view," a spokesman for Harper, Carl Vallee, said in an email when asked for comment about the statement.

The RCMP would not comment on the PMO's suggestions, and a spokesman for the High River detachment said the RCMP were acting in the interest of public safety.

"When RCMP officers were going door-to-door searching each residence for potential victims, we did come across a couple of residences where there were some firearms that were left insecure," Cpl. Darrin Turnbull told CBC News in an interview.

"In those situations, when they were out in plain view and they were not properly secured and stored, those firearms were taken by the RCMP member and safely secured in the High River detachment."

full article... :)

that's so fucked up.

Whole lot of political grandstanding over nothing on this.

The PM of Canada is a conservative, so that explains his comments to appeal to his voters.

If guns are left on a kitchen counter in an evacuated home, is it not responsible of them to do something about it? It doesn't appear like they were on some kind of gun hunt..

Kids shoot themselves all the time, and responsible gun owners like they always profess to be, should take this little embarrassing slap on the wrist for not storing their guns safely.

Also you have to figure looting could be a problem, home invasions, etc.. Guns being left out in the open is obviously less than ideal.

Canadians dont have the balls to stick up for anything, let alone the rights I was born with that are evaporating .

If I drop my keys on my driveway, is my neighbour "trespassing" and "stealing" and "depriving me of the use of my car in case of an emergency" if he grabs them and keeps them at his house until I'm around and he can give them back to me?

I mean... yes, yes, and yes.. but c'mon right?

That's what the media does nowadays.. THIS MAN WAS TRESPASSING! He STOLE property!!!! etc etc

"How do we know he didn't use the car himself?!?!?" lolz.

the Prime Minister is from Alberta and one of the reasons he got elected was his promise to scrap the Long Gun registry...if he doesnt make that statement he will have his party turn on him...Alberta is the Province that would closest resemble conservative USA.

i can think of 10 people off the top of my head that will consider this extremely important information

and act accordingly. long gun registry is over

except in quebec...heard last night they are appealing to the supreme court:2 cents:

This is obviously somehow Obama's fault. I'm sure the NRA will find the link and we will all get a random spam email telling us god hates Canada because they don't have freedom fries.

kinda stupid but i guess there thinking is they don't want people stealing guns from homes while the owners are gone.

you'd think they'd be more concerned with patrolling for looters than looting themselves

but justification is what it is

The Nazi government never took away anyone's guns. They just made people disappear.

Why are they taking away their guns?

Seems sensible to me - Nobody wants criminals to have guns - Surely even the NRA will agree with that...

lol, Blame Canada ? No Blame Obama .

That's effing crazy

happens here.

lots of people got midnight nabbed during the TO G20

since there was no actual 'arrest' or 'due process'.. there is no way to know who got arrested and who got released

just gotta trust em :)

Can you blame him.. As an American, I sure as hell feel safer knowing guys like Ricky and Julian don't have access to guns.

they were trailer park criminals

they'd need 5 minutes and a bill.

For a long gun to be safely stored in canada all you need is a trigger lock. I keep a shotgun in my bedroom with a trigger lock. Who wants to bet it would have been gone if the police entered. They probably took every gun that wasn't in a locked cabinet or safe.

Of course, because they will be intelligent enough to understand what hyperbole is.
Like when you call your boss a slave driver even as you cash a pay check.

:2 cents:

looking forward to when canada gets their gun problems sorted.

The courts ordered a...cease and desist...taking weapons and ordered the return of the weapons.

Quoted for truth :2 cents:

Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons

11 November 1938

§ 1

Jews (§ 5 of the First Regulations of the German Citizenship Law of 14 November 1935, Reichsgesetzblatt 1, p. 1332) are prohibited from acquiring. Possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority.

§ 2

Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew's possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation.

- Gun restriction laws applied to all guns and ammunition. The 1938 revisions introduced restrictions specifically reiterating the prohibition for Jews to hold firearms, but made it easier for one party nazi regime to gain acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, as was the possession of ammunition."[4]

- Jews were forbidden from the manufacturing or dealing of firearms and ammunition.

Your point is what? Guns were taken from legal gun owners. They were authorized to take the guns by force if necessary. I just can't understand that. Illegal gun owners, sure, take them. But legal gun owners... that will never make sense to me.

Criminals were looting homes and LEGAL gun owners had their firearms taken from them when they actually needed them the most. Where is the logic in that?

If the courts can order a cease and desist anytime they want, then the right to bare arms is a moot point. That means you can play with your toys until you actually need them, then you'll hand them over to mommy and daddy like a good little boy because playtime is over.

you do realize this is a thread about canada?

also, i think if you look, you will find that the order to confiscate firearms after katrina was not an order issued from the top, it was lower-level people who gave that order, it was also stopped after it was revealed to be an illegal command.

The courts made it clear that taking the weapons was illegal and ordered the immediate return of the weapons. The next time around people may be more reluctant to meekly turn over their weapons.

Only in Ameri . . . . oh, wait . . . sorry

Every country's rights are under siege.
