Gun Control is Completely Useless.

When I was in the army cadets in high school we learned to field strip a bren gun and put it back together.....
The teacher who had been in ww 2 could do it blindfolded.
People nowadays would be surprised to learn that...
The school in those days had an indoor firing range and all the cadets had to learn how to shoot in the prone position with army rifles
chambered for .22 cal
That was after school hours or weekends....
The best shots seemed to be the farm boys that were familiar with rifles from a young age....
One of our past times on the farm was shooting rats at dusk. We'd be in the quonset with the doors partially closed waiting to see their beady red eyes popping out underneath the granaries. Got to be pretty darn good after awhile.

I would prefer that both these weapons be treated and classified in the same fashion, and be readily available to PAL holders...........who, by definition, are NOT "violent offenders".


The people who are going to make a plethora of semi-auto rifles available on the black market are the idiots (like yourself) that want them prohibited and seized. You learned nothing from the long gun registry, because you are morons.


The LGR got, at best, 70% of firearms registered, **at best**. The rest were driven underground as illegal guns.........


How many of the non-restricted firearms they are about to seize (Mini 14s, SKS, M305, VZ58) do you think will actually be turned in?


The rest go to the black market. Eventually.


The entire plan is idiotic, ineffective, and counter-productive.
Doesn’t matter guns are bad .

clearly a police chief that is politically driven.




In our modern LIE-beral influenced Socialist State.................


YOU DONT GET TO BE POLICE CHIEF UNLESS YOU PLAY THE POLITICAL CHARADE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But every once in a while a Chief loses it and SPEAKS HIS MIND HONESTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is why police chiefs can support LIE-beral efforts to BAN long guns in the hands of hunters and target shooters..........................


even though they KNOW IT WILL NOT AFFECT CRIMINALS CARRYING ILLEGAL PISTOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Letter to The Chilliwack Progress:


While reading the Dec. 4 edition of the Chilliwack Progress, I was shocked and angered by the Pre Christmas Sale from International Shooting Supplies’ ad. The ad contained six specific offerings for handguns.


Handguns are the weapon of choice used in the ongoing gang war and the drug-induced gang violence being fought through Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. For years we have been told handguns were being smuggled over the border and sold to gang members, but this ad proves otherwise.


Without a doubt these weapons should be banned; military style assault weapons are not the main culprit, handguns are. When will the government stop promising legislation and deliver meaningful action?


As responsible corporate citizens, Black Press Media should not accept these types of ads.

This guy seems to think any gangbanger can walk into the local sporting goods store, buy a .357 Magnum, and walk out.


I can't even imagine this level of stupid.

Believe it or not they already understand all of that.

Except for the criminalizing part.

That's just something you made up
Nope. The Gliberals criminalized anyone that didn't register their firearms before regardless of whether they had ever done any other crimes beside practising civil disobedience.
Where the hell were you in and after 1993?

Oh please. That all started long before 1995


Dear Moron:


The long gun registry was part of the 1995 Firearms Act, and that is what you were asking about.


In fact, it was not fully implemented until December 31, 2002.


I've got an idea that's unique and new; why don't you just not talk about things that you know nothing about?


In short, STFU.


Thank you.

Canadian police chiefs say they don’t support ban on handguns despite fears that handgun violence is escalating in some cities across the country.
The head of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police says no new law banning handguns is needed because strong firearms laws already exist.
Vancouver Police Chief Adam Palmer says that in the majority of cases involving gun violence, the handguns being used are already illegal and it makes no sense to ban something that it already illegal.
“In every single case there are already offences for that,” Palmer said Wednesday in Calgary, at the conclusion of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police’s annual meeting.
“They’re already breaking the law and the criminal law in Canada addresses all those circumstances.
