    I hope all of you realize that any COP on this website reading the forums will pretend to be sympathetic to this issue and at the same time copy and send all of the ideas and counter arguments we come up with to their superiors just accept the fact that there is nothing any of us can do, it is a losing battle and there are many moles running around I am quite sure.

    Well of course they cc everything, it's not hopeless if we get organized, and newbies saying the battle is lost are often seen as the moles, so heads up.
    Listen, and understand. That Liberal is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse- only fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until your guns are gone.

    Quitter!
    Maybe they will, but maybe not, maybe they will tell their bosses what a S#!tstorm will be coming their way if they continue in this fashion, 99.99% of the people on this site would jump in to help an officer of the law if they needed us to, these days that has to be a good feeling for them! They know what we go through to enjoy our sport/ ownership! We take it seriously, what is going on is political! We need to stop the politics from going awry with our sport!
    Individual police have their own opinions for sure, they also have their own problems, poor quality/ quantity of training and access to supplies and time to increase their accuracy and abilities in the field! Look at the RCMP shootings, out west and in NB, better training and assessing the situation may have saved those officers. There is a lot we can do, show the police we are behind them but show the politicians within the RCMP and Ottawa how many votes we can sway! Unless something crazy happens, I believe the writing is on the wall, Turdo will not have a majority next time around and may be out all together, the Lieberals will be looking for every vote they can get, there are over 7 MILLION firearms owners in Canada! 7 MILLION VOTES,, Turdo will learn not to piss us off!

    Firearms are not a wedge issue to all 7 million PAL. A lot are concentrated in a small group of ridings, so these ridings give conservatives very large majorities, but in the end that's still just a few ridings. Most govt wins 2 elections, and a stronger NDP might very well be the key for a conservative win.

    In the meantime, there's a thread that's 150 pages long of "Is is prohib?", "I can't believe it is prohib!", "they still sell some at CT" and "the BC are prohib but what about the pro-mag?". They're (the rcmp) more than welcome to go through those 150 pages if they want to. Maybe if they get around to printing all that they can create a few jobs in the paper industry. That would still be a better use of their time than staying on the side of highways to give speeding tickets to law-abiding citizens on their way home after a hard day at the office.

    In a move that has stunned the legal world and confused motorists everywhere, the RCMP has classified cars as “deadly weapons”. RCMP officers from ‘D’ division in Winnipeg this past weekend charged a man with “Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose” (CCC sec 88.1). The “weapon” was his car. An anonymous source at the Superior Court in Winnipeg reports that the Mounties were forced to use the unusual tactic to arrest a local alleged drug lord they have been chasing for years. Undercover officers watched his driveway until he got into his car then pounced, making the arrest and laying the single, controversial charge. “They just couldn’t get him”, the unnamed court source told NP, “they were chasing him for years, but he was clever and never made mistakes. So they looked to their fellow officers out west in ‘E’ division and said ‘if they can bend the law, so can we”.

    This is in reference to the recent memo out of RCMP ‘E’ division in BC where the Mounties, along with the national Firearms Program, arbitrarily banned a specific type of ammunition clip used in .22 caliber assault rifles. There is apparently no actual law to support the move, and as the clips are very popular, this has caused a stir in the shooting community, with some even going so far as to threatening to sign a petition. CSAAA has released a statement that advises their members to “sit quietly, do nothing and wait”, while advising retailers to give in to questionable directive and pull thousands of dollars of inventory off their shelves and sit on it.

    The RCMP so far has no official comment, but an officer close to the investigation told NP “Sometimes we have to stretch the law a bit to get the job done, but it’s for a good reason. Our job is to protect the citizens of this country. The only people we're really affecting here are gun owners and everyone knows they don't count. Can you imagine what a terrorist might do with more than 10 rounds of .22 ammo? We must think of the children.”

    The accused preliminary hearing is expected next month.

    If there is any truth to this, particularly the third sentence, I am baffled and question whether the majority of RCMP members take this same stance. I would think if all hell was breaking loose in one form or another that the responsible firearms community would be a group that would be on the side of law and order.
    First responder tests have been done in BC and to say the least needs improvement for a passing grade.

    These people have families too and when things get out of control think their priorities will be at home at the end of the day.

    I have no idea if this report is legitimate, to me it sounds ridiculous.

    It equates cars to a semi-automatic rimfire firearm's semi-prohibited magazine.
    It ends with "think of the children."

    It's written for us, no one else.
    And thus my sarcasm detector went of, and I grinned at its humor.
