Because the registration of long guns didn't affect the lives of the majority of the population that lives in the big cities around Canada...the people it didn't affect never raised their collective voices and silently convinced themselves it was for the overall good of Canadians and the minority of of gun enthusiasts be damned.This is where the problem is with gun culture. You guys seem to think it's your right to go shoot people. It isn't. He did what he should do as a law abiding citizen and called the police. Pity the quality of police officers these days means they won't do anything until some higher up is embarrassed in the paper and gives the order to sort out the problem of people shooting up his farm.
At no point does any of it amount to starting a fire fight with some goofs out holding their own target practice session.
The same goes for silencing political voices. If they have a point, like Emery does, simply tossing the person in jail won't silence the voice. The message still carries on. Cannabis seed sales to the US still happen without a hitch and people who need to get quality Cannabis to help relieve their suffering still get it.
Something I don't understand is why the few of you here are glad to pay the money to process his arrest, extradition and various court costs.
The laws will eventually change and Cannabis will be decriminalized and the only thing that is relevant is that taxes will go to fund the process until it's over. Why is that easier then getting off the couch and demanding change now?
And now the minority of the population who enjoy the occasional toke wether for medical reasons or social enjoyment want the rest of us to step up to the plate to back them up?????
There is a saying or proverb I heard somewhere that covers this in a more polite fashion than what I'm thinking but I'll be damned if I can remember it.......:lol:
