An old buddy of mine from basic got posted in Edmonton after armoured school in Gagetown. His name is Graham Trude and he's with the Lord Strathcona's Horse. I'm wondering if someone could put me in touch with him as I'm heading out that way soon.
Despite all of that, it's so sad that we're still in the current state of affairs. One stray bullet from a homeboy in Toronto and the whole country is in turmoil, targeting not the source (which is of course the 'real' victim) but owners who fully comply with these current 'excuses' of laws...
I joined for a career. Work isn't very abundant on the east coast of Newfoundland. So far, I'm waiting in Gagetown for my armoured course, but everything's going great. No regrets at all.
Exactly, excellent facts. Not to mention that a legally owned prohib was NEVER used in any murder in Canada. Does this not tell people something?
Listening to the radio on my way up from the shooting range last night, a bunch of callers called in and complained that we need a handgun ban...
Long guns are much easier to use hunting in my opinion... learning to properly shoot a handgun and then hunt with it would be like learning to shoot all over again!
Since handguns are 'restricted' and apparently only useful for target practice... who would like to see handgun hunting? I know it's pretty popular in the USA. Why not here in Canada? There are an assortment of pistols and revolvers more than capable of doing the job. I know you don't NEED to...
I agree with what you have to say. No need to defend yourself for being a police officer, one or two may have made the thread take that stance however I'm confident most of us do not feel that the police are the problem here.
I'm curious, and (since you're a police officer ZC), when there is a...
And yet how ironic. I'm not a police officer, but I certainly know my stance on the issue unlike yourself. You (whether you have 500 badges or none at all) are unable to stay on track here. You have said the registry appears to be a waste of money, energy, and is inefficient. However you come on...
In one post, prove to me how it's a useful tool for police. I know many officers who think it isn't. Because you don the badge and I do not, doesn't mean you are right and I am wrong.
Prove to army.ca how the registry is a useful tool for police.
Exactly, and it's posts like that which wear out my keyboard and just bring the thread to the point where it is. ( 60 something pages of a few shooting buttbarf all over the screen and a fight breaks out.)
Really, someone for 'PROPER' gun control (such as myself), would best argue that we...
Are you actually serious? Do you know what thread you're in?
People who are involved in criminal activities are criminals. Criminals do not have legal access to firearms (the ones that aren't caught). They have access to illegal firearms.
Why would a criminal go through all the paperwork...
