GUN CONTROL:
The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

'Taliban of Iran' uses Canadian Web host
"We are no longer shocked at this kind of discovery," said Frank Dimant, executive vice-president of  B'nai Brith Canada. "Regrettably, terrorists feel that it is correct to operate in Canada and until such time as our government demonstrates a total resolve that it will not deal with terrorist-sponsored groups, there will be a feeling that it is OK to operate within the borders of Canada."(The Liberals have shown ALL Canadians, that spending close to a Billion Dollars harassing the countries duck hunters is more worthwhile than spending the same amount to curtail terrorist, which are probably in fact Liberal Voters.. Hunters, and REAL patriots Don't Vote Liberal!)
700 National Guard Troops, Minus Guns, Will Bolster Security at Canadian Border
Under a temporary six-month assignment, the troops are expected to provide support for border forces in air operations, cargo inspections, traffic management, pedestrian control and administrative servicesin an effort to head off terrorist threats. Canada has been home to several Islamic terrorist cells dating back to at least the mid-1990s, with an Al Qaeda-trained terrorist from Montreal stopped north of  Seattle in 1999 before he could carry out a plot to bomb Los Angeles International Airport. United States does not want to "militarize" the border. "Our friends in Canada are appropriately sensitive that we don't signal that we are somehow
                   arming the border," he said.(ARM THEM! It might be just the embarrassment the Liberals need for allowing anyone parroting the magic words "I Am A Refugee" free to run loose in Canada, endangering not only Americans, but Canadians as well)
Firearms Registry has backfired on government(Canoe)
OTTAWA (CP) -- Opposition critics say statistics continue to show the gun registry is not working and the percentage of violent crimes involving firearms has actually increased since Ottawa passed its gun control laws.  The Progressive Conservative Democratic Representative Coalition said Wednesday that Statistics Canada figures show the percentage of  attempted murders that involved a firearm increased from 31 per cent in  1995 to 37 per cent in 2000 -- a jump of 20 per cent.(Criminals are enjoying the Great Benefits of the Firearms Act. The more people the Government disarms, the safer and easier their task of robbing/killing/Raping  you becomes)
ERRORS, ERRORS AND MORE ERRORS 
“The old gun registry was riddled with errors and so is the new one.” 
NOTE: All errors in firearms licences and registration certificates should be reported to the Minister of Justice and the Auditor General of Canada.  All errors that either violate your privacy rights or have the potential to do so should be reported to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Contact information is provided at the end of this document. (This entire system is so riddled with errors, that YOU could find yourself in jail!! Feel safer because of the Firearms Act? I didn't think so.. PRINT THIS OUT, AND PIN IT TO YOUR GUNCLUB WALL)
GUN REGISTRY A SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR GARBAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM
Ottawa – Today, Garry Breitkreuz, the Official Opposition’s gun control critic, released a summary of recent bureaucratic blunders in the government’s $700 million gun registry called: ERRORS, ERRORS AND MORE ERRORS.  On February 7, 2001, the Edmonton Sun reported: Canadian Police Association president Const. Grant Obst said yesterday a lot of Canadian cops who believe in the “concept” of a gun registry have profound doubts that the one being run by CFC [Canadian Firearms Centre] will ever offer police the information they need to fight crime.  “They’re not happy with the information-gathering,” he said.  “They’re asking themselves, will the information be accurate.”  Breitkreuz’s paper has answered Const. Obst’s question, “If the information in the registry isn’t accurate what possible use can the registry be to police?” (Maybe NOW the police association will listen to firearm organizations, because EVERYTHING they were warned about has come true)
WHO IS RIGHT – THE CANADIAN FIREARMS CENTRE OR THE RCMP? 
REGISTRY SAYS:Firearms Known to Police = 2,016,000 
RCMP SAYS:As of November 22, 2001 there were a total of 1,431,731 distinct firearms registered since December 1998.” 
If they are both right, where did 584,269 registered guns go between March 10, 2001 and November 22,
2001?(Well, I'm sure their both right, because NO ONE knows what the hell is going on for sure)
Doomsday Clock to be reset

Accidental shootings claim 2 lives
(1)Ramon was shot Monday evening in a bedroom of his West Side home as he and his 14-year-old brother were both handling a 9mm handgun, Chicago police Sgt. Robert Cargie said. Ramon's older brother found the gun in the alley and Ramon somehow obtained it inside the house.(2)Witnesses told police that Jones was acting "a little reckless, pointing the gun around,'' Cargie said, so his friends tried to get the gun from him. "During the struggle, the weapon discharged,'' (If there EVER was a reason to teach firearms safety in schools, this is it. "Keep em Ignorant Keep em Safe" doesn't work any better for firearms, than it does for sex education.)
Crews Take Up Guns To Fight Pirates
Armed hijacking and piracy has become such a major threat to the multi-billion pound shipping industry that crews are carrying arms to ward off attacks. The pirates carry weapons ranging from kitchen knives to AK47 rifles. Last year, 21 people were shot dead in raids from the Mediterranean to Malaysia. In October, a British skipper was forced to fire a shotgun at raiders who had attacked him with automatic rifles when they boarded his freighter off the coast of Sierra Leone.  John Bailey, 52 from Hornsea, East Yorkshire, chased a gang of pirates around the 5,200-tonne Cape Georjean. After one of his shots hit an intruder, they fled.(As amazing as it might seem, this story was found on the The Hoplophobia News Centre Even 'they' now seem to admit that being armed 'might' be a good idea)
Something has changed and it's not the guns.
I went to school in a different time, the late 1950's and 1960's. It was a semi-rural area, and most people in the area  had guns. I looked at every schoolday morning as a death-row prisoner must look at their last day on Earth, except I knew I'd have to repeat it tomorrow. One classmate expected me to show up every morning and accept my beating. I did it. Like many other kids in my school, I had easy access to guns. If any kid ever had motive, means and opportunity to blow away their teachers and classmates, I did. The LAST THING I would have dreamed of, however, would have been to shoot someone. I watched Elmer Fudd point a shotgun, point-blank at Bugs Bunny and pull the trigger. All that happened to Bugs was a soot-covered face. Somehow, however, I knew you didn't point a shotgun at a person. I knew you didn't kill. (I, and most of my friends owned .22's, and 303's in the 60's, it was common to tie your gun case to the crossbar of your bike, and ride to a un inhabited hunting/shooting area just north of Toronto. NO ONE ever thought of using a weapon to settle a dispute. A simple punch in the mouth was all that was usually needed, and there were no victims, the rules were clearly laid out, and the police were almost never involved, unless of course a swift kick in the ass from the local cop was used to guide you on your way.)
UN promotes Chernobyl wildlife tours (No Joke!)
A report produced by several leading UN agencies says lack of human activity in those areas has allowed plants and animals to flourish."The natural environment has returned there.  It is a huge area that is very natural, with lots of wildlife and unique types of animals."(Come see the 'three headed rabbits' and funny coloured grasses as they scamper between the four legged mushrooms, lay back and soak up some 'rads', enjoy the altered evolution.. Strange though, the 'people' are not flourishing! But then again, the U.N. sees the world much differently than you and I)
Sept. 11 a classic attack, bin Laden aide boasts
An aide of Osama bin Laden has hailed the Sept. 11 terrorist assaults as one of the most stunning surprise attacks in history, on a par with the  Japanese strike on Pearl Harbor and Nazi Germany's blitzkrieg invasion of the Soviet Union during the Second World War.(Uh Huh.. and history also shows what happened to those invaders.. Hopefully, dna tests being performed on a bombed out area in Afghanistan, will show that Bin Ladin is now simply a 'major stain' on some desert rocks..)
The Firearms Law is NOT Being Enforced Against Criminals
ST. CATHARINES - A man linked to Montreal street gangs -  who was arrested with two  loaded handguns after a  kidnapping and robbery in  Niagara Falls - got a 10-month jail sentence yesterday after throwing himself at the mercy of the judge.Crown prosecutor Andre Bourgon had called for an 18-month sentence to send out a strong message that "gun play'' and gang violence won't be  tolerated in Niagara." What he does in Montreal is his business. We don't want him in Niagara. We're satisfied if he picks up his things and leaves,'' Bourgon told the judge. (This only PROVES the liberals ridiculous Firearms Act is NOT understood by either prosecutors, or judges. C.C. 271(1.1)Every person who commits an offence under subsection (1) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable (a) where a firearm is used in the commission of the offence, to imprisonment for life and to a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of four years; and (b) in any other case, to imprisonment for life. The Law Also states that this minimum 4 years must be served "Consecutively" to other charges (i.e. Kidnapping). These guys could have been put away for a long time but Nooooo... Is there any  wonder why there is no fear among criminals of getting caught with a gun during a crime.. The gun charges are STILL being thrown aside. Feel safer in this "Culture of  Safety"? I didn't think so! But if YOU are a Duck Hunter with an 'unregistered' shotgun in 2002 YOU will be prosecuted.. Ya.. Vote Liberal...Feeel the Burn...)
Gun crimes haven't risen in Michigan
I am a firearms instructor in Michigan. We had a new concealed-carry weapons law go into effect on July 1. More than 21,000 new concealed-weapons permits have been issued in Michigan since then. Approximately 22,000 permits were in existence before the law went into effect. That gives us around 43,000 CCW permit-holders. Contrary to all of the anti-self-defense people's scary predictions of blood in the streets, road-rage shootings and shoot-outs at the OK Corral, we have seen none of these things.(And neither has anyplace else that has allowed law abiding people to carry firearms for self protection. But one thing all these places have in common, is the Crime Rate HAS gone DOWN as a result. How do the Anti's explain that?)
Liberals' registry is targeting the least dangerous guns in the country 
But instead of cleaning our streets of baseball bats, hidden knives and smuggled handguns (or better yet, of the criminals who use them), the Liberals are pouring $12 million a month, or more, into their registry of the least dangerous guns in the country. And you won't be one jot safer for it.  (I'm sure our various police forces could have found a better use for a Billion Dollars, AND saved some lives.. It MIGHT even have given MORE votes to the Liberals.. and after all that's what this is all about isn't it)
Pedophile Toft released on escorted day pass
Toft, 65, has admitted assaulting as many as 200 boys from the mid-1960's to the mid-1980's while he was a guard at a reform school in New Brunswick. Corrections officials say Toft will be eligible to apply for unescorted passes in about four months.The two parole board members who wrote the report recommended conditions of  his release include a curfew, reporting to a parole officer, undergoing more treatment and staying away from children under 18.( I can't help but wonder what the "parole boards" recommendations would have been if told he would be moving into 'Their' neighbourhood)
York student wounded her killer
Lin Tao managed to fight her  attacker for just a few brief minutes before he cut her throat, leaving her to die in a parking lot adjacent to a busy north Toronto road.On Dec. 27, a woman was attacked leaving a bus in the Don Mills Rd. and  Finch Ave. E. area, but she was able to escape the knife-wielding man.  Police believe the same man attacked another woman Feb. 1 as she left a bus near Don Mills Rd. and Lawrence Ave. E. Again, the woman was able to escape.(If given the choice, would a woman rather reach into her purse for (A:) a cell phone to call 911 explain where you are and wait for the police, while fending off an attacker. or (B:) a short barreled lightweight .25 or .32 cal. handgun which the liberals have banned because their a  danger to the attacker...)
Border trade hit by security
OTTAWA - The drive for security by U.S. officials could  hamper Canadian business by slowing trade at an already highly congested border, say two prominent business leaders. The negotiations have stalled on a number of issues including pre-clearance, the use of gun-carrying U.S. customs officials in Canada and technological issues such as database sharing and use and control of information, Mr. Keyes said.(The problem the Liberals see with "gun-carrying U.S. customs officials in Canada" is that if they allow Americans to carry guns, it will be hard for them to argue the arming of Canadian Officers is not necessary, and again having Canada's stupid, ill conceived, gun laws pointed out to ordinary Canadians whom they have convinced, that gun are dangerous no matter who has them, as the political farce that it really is.)
11-year-old shoots, kills assailant threatening his grandmother
SOUTH BEND — When Tony D. Murry held a box cutter to Sue Gay’s  neck Monday night, Gay’s 11-year-old adopted son ran upstairs at the home at 1348 N. Huey St. and grabbed a gun. “He hit the bottom of the stairs with the .45 and stood ready stance with the gun,” said Gay with feet spread apart and her hands outstretched as if holding a handgun. The boy shot one round and hit Murry, 27, in the chest, even though the  man was shielding himself with Gay.  “I don’t know how he did that. One shot and he got him. He’s my little hero,” Gay said of the grandson she adopted. The fifth-grader may not have been just a lucky shot. This is a family that knows guns. (If Sue Gay had been a Canadian citizen, she would also be a criminal murder statistic today.)
Curious About Vermonts Gun Laws? Here They Are:
" Don't shoot deer after dark, especially with a light, and don't have a loaded rifle or shotgun in your car."
 Now you are familiar with Vermont's gun laws,  according to Bennington Police Chief Richard B. Gauthier. Although Vermont has one of the highest per-capita gun ownership rates in the country, Gauthier said Vermont has one of the lowest per-capita violent crime rates in the country. (Why? You ask! Because unlike in Canada, which borders Vermont, Criminals in Vermont are pretty sure they may be shot by their 'intended victims'.. Canadian criminals, thanks to the Liberals, feel pretty safe victimizing Canadians, so why not stay where its nice and safe. For them.)

ALLIANCE GOVERNMENT WILL CANCEL GUN REGISTRY PRIVATIZATION CONTRACT 
“When Bill C-68 is repealed, a private company will not be needed to run an effective gun control program.” 
Yorkton – Today, Garry Breitkreuz, the Official Opposition’s gun control critic, served notice on all companies bidding on a proposed 15-year contract with the federal government to help implement and operate the Justice Department’s problem-plagued gun registry.  News reports put the estimated value of the contract at $300 million.  “I asked the lawyers in the Library of Parliament to tell me how we could cancel this contract without experiencing the problems the Liberals did when they cancelled the Pearson Airport deal,” said Breitkreuz.  “The government has broken every promise they made about the gun registry and wasted almost $700 million in taxpayers’ dollars on their politically-motivated firearms fiasco.  We intend to put a stop to this useless program and the red ink as soon as the Liberals are kicked out of office.  I thought it was only fair to warn the companies bidding on this unnecessary contract.” (A Smart private company will plan to make it's profit on "Cancellation Fees" and not on any actual 'work'!)
And the "Culture of Safety" Continues
A 24-year-old woman was killed  last night after her throat was slashed in a purse-snatch attack outside a North York apartment building. (If this punk 'thought' his victim 'might' have been armed, There's a pretty good chance 'this' woman would still be alive, and another 'unarmed' person would be dead. Just like someone in the U.K. said, "Put the fear of crime back into the criminal.")
28 firearms surrendered to police as of Feb. 6
Toronto residents have surrendered 28 firearms in the 10 days ending Feb. 6 as part of Operation Gun Stop. Under the amnesty program, which runs until the end of March, any Toronto residents who bring to police handguns, sawed-off long guns or automatic weapons will not only avoid criminal charges but will be given a pair of tickets to a Raptors basketball game.(28 down, thousands to go. If these are 'stolen' guns, Will they be returned to their rightful owners, as the law requires? Or, will they be quietly and illegally destroyed?)
Utah Gun Packers Don't Leave Home Without
Until the mid-1990s, Utah had fewer than 1,000 citizens with concealed-weapon permits. Then, like many other states, Utah changed its laws in 1995 to qualify most law-abiding citizens for a permit. Now, about 42,000 state residents, or 3% of the adult population, are licensed to carry concealed  firearms. They cannot carry guns in secured areas such as airports, courthouses and jails. Utah ranks 12th lowest in the nation in violent crime.( If Guns 'Cause' crime, why do  Places Like Utah and S. Dakota (The highest per capita gun ownership) have the Lowest violent crime rates. When cities where guns are banned, like New York and Washington D.C. Have the highest violent crime rates?)
The Legacy of U.K. Gun Control
THE bloodstained streets of London are fast becoming the most violent in the developed world, a top cop  revealed yesterday. Inspector Glen Smyth, chairman of the Metropolitan Branch of the Police Federation, warned: "Street crime is spiralling out of control. "People have good reason to be scared. In some London boroughs the rise has been catastrophic. Street crime in the capital is like a ticking timebomb — and I fear it will get worse before it gets better." Insp Smyth spoke as leaked Home Office figures showed a nationwide  increase in muggings of more than 26 per cent in the past nine months. "We need to put the fear of crime back into the criminal. At the moment crime is getting worse because the criminals are getting away with it."(In a Society of largely 'unarmed' citizens, where a law abiding home owner can be charged and convicted for pointing a firearm at a felon invading their property, The Criminal is KING. No wonder crime is out of control..The Answer is simple: Allow citizens to defend their homes and property "Put the fear of crime back into the criminal.")
AIR CHRETIEN
Jean Chretien is flying on his own (without the usual plane full of press and aides) to Australia for a Commonwealth meeting in early March, leaving the DND Airbus he usually flies parked on the tarmac in Ottawa. Instead, insiders say Mr. Chretien (Read TAXPAYERS)will be leasing a Bombardier Global Express, an executive  jet with plush, leather interior, wood-grained cupboards, and marble-topped counters.(With plenty of room for his golf clubs, the "Pork Barrel Express", Hereafter known as 'No Force One" "Isn't too big to land on the runway at the airport in Coolum, the golf and beach resort where the meeting is being held")
Quebec: Weapons charge against summit protester dropped(Nat.Post w. to e.)
QUEBEC - Jaggi Singh, a protester at last year's Summit of the Americas, will not face a weapons charge for possessing a catapult used to fire teddy bears at police. Mr. Singh will instead face a single charge of participating in a riot, a Crown spokesperson said. He originally faced 10 charges when he was arrested in April, 2001.(I can only assume the Teddy Bears did not attain a velocity of 500 fps)
B.C. Pig Farm May Reveal Incredible Horror Stories
Lynn Frey, of Campbell River, B.C., said she spent days searching and talking to women in Vancouver's downtown eastside after her daughter Marnie went missing in August, 1997. "We drove by the farm that the women had told us about, and it was exactly as they had described, when they told us all these women had been taken out to party. I just felt a chill  because I suddenly felt in my heart that Marnie was there," Ms. Frey recalled. "We had been told there was a rundown house and a dumpy yard with a woodchipper on the  property and lots of piles of dirt. We drove up to the place to look around and it was just as they said. Then these large dogs came running out after us and I felt so terrifed and it was so creepy that we drove away."(The firearms charges that gave the police an excuse  to search this pig farm, may be the only beneficial result of the entire firearms act since it inception)
Canadians use paint to improvise camouflage
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Frustrated by having to wear boreal  green camouflage uniforms in a desert environment, Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan began slapping brown latex paint on to their rifles, bulletproof vests and other equipment yesterday.(Maybe the bureaucrats at the C.F.C. can supply some of the whitewash they've been slapping on the gun registry? Actually, what they've been spreading to camouflage their figures is not really white, but much closer to the brown colour our underfunded soldiers could use!)
Passenger hit with axe in plane drama
United Airlines Flight 855 had taken off from Miami at midnight with 142 passengers and 15 crew members on board.  Moreira, 28, began kicking the cockpit door about five hours into the flight, as the  jetliner flew over Brazil, Orihuela said. The FBI spokeswoman said Moreira forced it open and went inside the cockpit of  the Boeing 777. But United said Moreira did not get inside the cockpit. "The passenger never gained full entry due to the reinforced cockpit door bar United has installed on all of its fleet," Chairman and CEO Jack Creighton said.  Orihuela said the co-pilot grabbed a small axe and hit Moreira in the head, subduing him.(Good job airline pilots are now armed with 'axes'!!! Canadian pilots of course, must pummel there assailants with 'tim bits' Much safer than those dangerous firearms, and 43 times less likely for the pilots to injure themselves..)
Hunting gathered deer
In the hierarchy of hunting, bagging a grizzly with a bow and arrow must come at the top; it certainly requires skill and courage. In the middle falls hunting deer with a rifle in the wild, which requires skill but not much bravery. And at the bottom, requiring neither, is potting animals in a pen from which they cannot escape.(Not everybody has the ability to climb a tree, and sit for hours on a deer run.. Pens that are several thousand hectares, are not any different than hunting in the wild! Most hunters NEVER cover several thousand hectares in a 'real' hunt.. So what the heck is a 'real' hunt anyway? Articles written by some, make it look as if the deer is tied to a post, waiting for someone to stroll by and blow it's brains out. Several thousand hectare areas, are more than enough for a decent 'hunt' and only someone who has never tromped & hunted through that much terrain would refer to the deer as "Sitting Bucks")
Canada joins U.S. in massive fighter jet project
"It could generate a great deal of economic activity in Canada," said Ms. Filiatrault. "It's a very positive, positive thing. We're going to gain significantly in the field of aerospace technology." Canada's investment in the next phase of the project -- the actual development and demonstration of the aircraft -- will include $100-million from the Department of National Defence and $50-million from Industry Canada's Technical Partnerships program.(Ya but lets spend ten times that amount on a bogus crime control scheme, and turn a million Canadians into 'paper' criminals first...Gotta keep our liberal priorities straight!!)
Freed cop killer arrested in B.C.
After being convicted of murder in Montreal in 1983, Tabah was handed the sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. But on Jan. 20, 1999, through a Montreal court hearing, he was deemed eligible for parole through the faint-hope clause and was later released, having served at least 17 years of his sentence "We were outraged when he was released. We and the police chiefs association have lobbied hard in Ottawa to make sure that people like him serve their minimum of 25 years."(The parole board that set him free, was pretty damn sure he would not take up residence in 'their' neighbourhood, so what the hell, let the poor guy out.. After all, other than law abiding gun owners, to the bleeding heart liberals there's no such thing as a 'criminal'. Only misunderstood, un rehabilitated offenders.)
New U.S. Gun Rule Bars Some Foreigners
The rule also requires foreigners wanting to bring a gun into the United States for hunting or sporting purposes to first obtain a federal permit through the ATF, something that will allow the government to better track such guns, one official said. Currently, foreigners can bring a gun into this country for hunting and sporting purposes without a  ATF permit as long as they satisfy US. Customs Service agents. (Going to the U.S. for a P.P.C. or I.P.S.C. match? Better check before you get to the border.. If an American shows up unprepared at the Canadian  border with a handgun, it's 'Forfeited to the Crown' I.E. confiscated.. Of course,  the U.S. may not be a draconian as our Canadian hoplophobes)
Two charged with weapon offences
Also see Article below: A 53-year-old Inverary man faces 11 charges including three counts of trafficking in firearms, three counts of possession of firearms for the purpose of trafficking, and two counts of trafficking in ammunition and three counts of unauthorized transfer of firearms.   A 28-year-old Kingston man faces three charges including one count of trafficking in a firearm and two counts of trafficking in ammunition. They are scheduled to appear in Kingston court March 12. The investigation is continuing.(We're just going to wait, and see how this plays out.. So far, every big raid has resulted in 'dismissal' and/or minor infractions.. If these guys were 'really' selling firearms to criminals they SHOULD feel the full brunt of the law..)
S.A. Radio Thief Shot Dead
He phoned the police and then went outside with his firearm. Venter said the owner banged his hand on the car and asked the man to get out of the car, warning that he was armed and police were on their way. The car owner said the intruder got out of the car and rushed at him. He apparently fired a warning shot which was ignored by the intruder who continued to attack him. In the struggle, he fired again, killing the intruder. When police arrived they found that the vehicle's front left window had been smashed, the radio had been removed and wires cut.(Someone who Rushes a man who's already fired a warning shot, would have to be Deaf, Blind or Stupid.. He's not deaf  because he wanted a radio, not blind because he found one, which leaves the one thing most thieves have in common. BANG..yer outa the gene pool..)
Airport security firm 'finished,' DOT says
In November, a man carrying seven knives, a stun gun and a box labeled tear gas cleared Argenbright security in Chicago, Illinois. Just last week at the  airport in San Francisco, California, thousands of travelers had to be rescreened because an  Argenbright employee let slip away a man with what appeared to be explosive residue on his shoe. "Argenbright is the Enron of airline security," said David Stempler, president of the Air Travelers Association. "They have failed us at every turn."(This guy would not have got through at Montreal! The box labeled "Tear Gas" and not "Gaz lacrymogène" would have been quickly apprehended by the Language police)
CIA chief: 'They will hurt us again'
Poverty and political instability of the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa has created a breeding ground for terrorist recruiters, Tenet said.  Over the next two decades, those regions will have the highest populations of youths who are most likely to become terrorists, he said.(The governmental joke which is 'Immigration Canada' has lost track of  an unbelievable number of  terrorists allowed into our country because they simply spoke the words reminiscent of 'open sesame' : ..."I am A Refugee"...'And I will Vote Liberal' 
Weapons and Ammunition Seized - Kingston Sporting Goods Store
KINGSTON, ON, Feb. 5 /CNW/ - Officers from the Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit, and the Kingston Police Service today executed search warrants and seized weapons and ammunition from the Kingston Gun and Tackle Store, on Golden Mile Rd.  The seizure follows an intensive three-month investigation into the illegal sale of firearms and ammunition. Seized were approximately 315 non-restricted firearms, 20 restricted firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition. The investigation is continuing.(So far, every time a legal store is 'raided', its the result of some over zealous 'pin-head' in a position of authority, and all charges are eventually dropped... We'll wait , and see what this is all about..) 
Life in U.K. London Where Now, Only the Criminal is Armed
Police, who said they were investigating dozens of cases of  car hijacking, acknowledged that violent crime had erupted in the past year and particularly since the September 11 attacks when hundreds of officers were moved to guard security targets.  They said robberies in London involving firearms had jumped by half while street crimes had risen by nearly a third in the  six months to November compared with the same period in 2000. "You can get that day after day by reading of the muggings, the knifings, the carjackings going on in this our capital city. It's shaming and it's disgraceful," he said. In a bid to clamp down on violent street criminals -- many of whom are graduating to gun crime straight from the classroom -- London police have drafted in hundreds of traffic officers to help their beleaguered colleagues pound the beat. (Make it a criminal offence for a law abiding person to own a handgun, make it a criminal offence to protect yourself with a firearm, and you get a criminal society that feels pretty safe, and and able to do just about anything it wants. This is also the Liberal Agenda for Canada. Australia is almost as bad.. Common denominator for Britain, Australia, Washington D.C., New York City? They all ban the legal ownership of firearms for self defence.. Canada also bans them for self defence, that's why gun crime is increasing here too)
Guns Still Legal in U.S. Capitol Buildings
John Velleco, a lobbyist for Gun Owners of America, said the threat of terrorism is all the more reason to allow law-abiding people to carry guns into capitols.  "Studies suggest that people who carry guns are part of  the solution to crime problems and terrorists," Velleco said. "If you prohibit the good guys from carrying guns, then we're all sitting ducks." (In Canada, other than the police, ONLY the criminal carries a gun.. Therefore using "City Dwelling Yuppie Liberal logic", Guns MUST be dangerous even in the hands of law abiding citizens. After all, everything they have ever seen or read about firearms from other "City Dwelling Yuppie Liberals" is bad!.. But just once stop to think, how many times have you heard the terms: Armed invader, Armed attacker, Armed rapist,  Armed Criminal.. Have you EVER heard the term "Armed Victim".. I didn't think so.. there's a reason for that..Can you guess what it is?)
LIBERALS TRACK LAW ABIDING CITIZENS BUT NOT CONVICTED SEX OFFENDERS
Today, Garry Breitkreuz, MP for Yorkton-Melville, joined the chorus of Members of Parliament in criticizing
the federal government for failing to deliver on its promise to establish a national sex offender registry by January 30, 2002.  Breitkreuz is also the Official Opposition’s gun control critic, and he slammed the government for forcing law-abiding firearms owners – under threat of up to two years in jail - to report their change of address to police, but allowing convicted sex offenders to roam free.  “The Liberals have turned the entire justice system on its head.  Instead of focusing on the known criminals who are a real threat to society, they are spending hundreds of millions of dollars focusing on law-abiding citizens who – by issuing a firearms licence – the government has declared are no threat to public safety. (Not only are law abiding firearms owners no threat, they also don't vote liberal anymore.. While on the other hand, the main beneficiaries of the gun control legislation are the home invaders, pedophiles, rapists, and street gangs, who are finding life in a increasingly unarmed society has never been safer. They, are more than happy to vote for the Liberals as they plod along with their incredibly ignorant agendas.. )
Minister reacts to poll showing two-thirds of Canadians want judges voted in
The poll, based on telephone interviews with 2,000 adult Canadians, was commissioned by the Association for Canadian Studies, an umbrella group for university and college Canadian studies departments. The survey was carried out between Dec. 13, 2001, and Jan. 5, 2002, and is considered accurate within 2.2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. (Polls are only considered when they meet the Liberal Party Agenda)
Liberals thumb their noses at the pubic, and continue to hide their spending practices
There are concerns that the new rule is helping conceal potentially embarrassing information about the way politicians are spending public money. The policy recently thwarted an investigation by the Winnipeg Free Press into unproved allegations that Allan Rock, the Industry Minister, and one of his senior aides used ministerial funds to further his leadership aspirations in Manitoba.(The Liberals are telling Canadians that it's none of your business how "The Ruling Party" spends your tax dollars. This is the act of a Governmental Dictatorship that has been in power far too long.. Even Trudeau never went this far in his "power at any cost" governmental extremes) 
THIS IS THE COMPANY THAT WILL HELP THE GOVERNMENT
WITH THE EVENTUAL CONFISCATION OF YOUR FIREARMS
Former justice minister Anne McLellan confirmed last year that the government had contracted out part of  the program's processing work to a private firm, BDP Business Data Services Ltd. of Toronto.  She described
described it only as "outsourcing" some services for efficiency and savings.  Successive contracts with BDP
have so far cost the government $8.5 million, according to documents Mr. Breitkreuz obtained. (By clicking the BDP link in the text, you will see that this company which has already been paid $17,665,133 dollars by the C.F.C.is also:Intercon Secutrity, ChemLawn Canada, Cleanol Services Inc., California Closet Company (and a host of other American Companies the NRA should know about).. If their so quick to jump on the bandwagon to help disarm Canadians for a buck, they will also no doubt be more than willing to help deprive Americans, and the NRA of their 'second ammendment rights.)
Registry useless against crime: If idea hasn't worked for handguns,
why would it work for duck guns?(Lorne Gunter )
There is no evidence in StatsCan's numbers that licensing law-abiding gun owners and forcing them to register their guns with Ottawa could force down robberies by even a fraction, let alone a significant amount. In fully 82.2 per cent of firearms robberies, the gun used is a handgun. Handguns are restricted weapons. It has been a requirement of Canadian law since 1934 that their owners -- or at least, their law-abiding owners -- register every handgun they possess. In other words, it has been a criminal offence to possess an unregistered handgun for the past 68 years. Yet, in 2,940 of Canada's 3,575 firearms robberies in 2000, the perpetrator still chose to use one. On top of the nearly 3,000 handgun robberies, another 243 firearms robberies were committed with illegal or prohibited guns -- sawed-off shotguns and rifles, machine-guns and so on. In all, 3,183 of the 3,575 firearms robberies involved guns that will never be detected by Ottawa's registry. Thus, 89 per cent of the guns used in robberies are already illegal guns and no registry of law-abiding owners or their firearms could ever prevent these robberies.(C-68 has NEVER been about gun control, as much as it's been about 'people control' The Feds Know that crime is not going to be prevented, they know the criminal will continue to carry firearms, they know the money they have spent has just been wasted, and if they Don't, they would have to be the stupidest group of misfits on the entire planet.. )
Shooting better than virtual violence for children, says U.K. rural poll
Most adults believe children should be taught to shoot as a healthier pursuit than playing violent computer games or watching adult films."Learning about shooting encourages children to be safety conscious and to exhibit a mature, responsible attitude towards firearms - an especially needed counterbalance to the worrying trend among many young people, who have never been properly exposed to firearm use under supervision, towards viewing firearms as some kind of fashion accessory or symbol of power."(Only a complete and utter idiot would believe that firearms education will make children want to go out and shoot somebody. Keep em Ignorant --- Keep em Safe has NEVER worked in any context. Teach a child to handle firearms safely, and the knowledge he or she gains will keep them safe from associating with 'know-nothing' punks who think firearms make them tougher, when in fact they only highlights their ignorance and stupidity.)
Federal gun registry has done nothing for Toronto
Haven't Toronto's hoodlums learned of the 1995 federal Liberal firearm  legislation? Enacted in 1998, it requires all who possess firearms to become licensed. This should lead metro's finest to the location of all the hoods' guns.  And under the Firearms Act, these folk will have few protections against search  and seizure.By now, Toronto's criminals should have taken advantage of the free gun registration program offered by the Canadian Firearms Registry. This freebie ended last December — but is still available if one registers online. Under this program, all licensed firearm owners can register their guns under a simpler, dumbed-down procedure — no questions asked, no verification needed. So what is Toronto's contribution of 23 cops and free Raptors tickets — shoot hoops not guns — going to achieve? And will these costs be charged to the federal government?(At Last word, 9 guns had been handed in for Raptors tickets.. It seems as if the punks will keep their guns after all.. Feel Safer, thanks to the Firearms Act?... I didn't think so!)
If you ever need a dozen holes in a nickel, call Jim Hinkle of Grayson.
As an accomplished rifleman of 30-plus years, he routinely clusters that many  22-caliber bullet holes within a half-inch circle in competition from 50 and 100  yards. The estimated 300 master riflemen at Nationals each fired 40 shots in 40 minutes --- changing targets after the first 20 --- in four matches a day for four days. Of a possible 6,400 points, Hinkle scored 6,393, and like most he competed against, he landed everything within fractions of an inch of center. (It one thing to 'pick off' ground hogs at a hundred yards with a .22, but to pump that many holes into a boring little circle, requires a lot of patients, and a 'zen-like' control of your heartbeat and breathing.. Not something easily accomplished..)
No more Mr. Little Guy
With no Opposition to speak of, a cowed Cabinet and a glumly silenced backbench, Mr. Chretien has turned his sights on his one remaining area of vulnerability -- the volunteers who help run the federal Liberal Party. The Prime Minister wants them to change the rules to give him unfettered access to as many party memberships applications as he wants. This would allow him to stack his own leadership review scheduled for February next year -- a review that was meant to take place last year but that was delayed at his request. These are not the actions of a leader who regards himself as a "little guy." They are the strong-arm tactics of a man who has enjoyed power a long time and has no intention of giving it up for a long time to come.(The arrogance of this "Doddling Old Fart From Shawinagan" will be his downfall.. Canadians are starting to tire of his dictatorial policies, and even trained seals in the back benches are starting to bark out. The best thing he could possibly do for any upcoming opposition party, is stay, and RUN for a fourth term..) 
Mountie who blew whistle could lose job
But allegations lodged against Cpl. Read say he flouted his oath of secrecy and ignored the orders of superior officers when he talked to the media about the Hong Kong situation and provided confidential documents to the RCMP's public complaints commission and reporters.(Well pardon me if I'm wrong!.. But.. Is this not a police officer who is sworn to uphold the law? Or does the RCMP believe themselves to be 'above' the law? When this officer saw a 'crime' in progress, who was he supposed to report it to? The upper echelon committing the crime? If this officer is punished, it will truly signify the 'beginnings' of a police state, where 'some' are above the law, and YOU will be punished for pointing this out)
Police recruit civilians to fight crime
Police in Ontario and Manitoba are recruiting citizen volunteers to patrol the high-crime and troublesome
areas of their community, part of a growing nationwide trend of putting civilians on the front lines in the fight against crime. Dubbed "the Rat Patrol" by some who equate it with vigilantism rather than community activism, Citizens on Patrol is spreading to most provinces where cash-strapped police forces are praising the program.(I'm all for the 'reporting' of 'real' crime but I won't be donating my time while the "cash strapped" Police (associations) are supporting the ridiculous folly of the current firearms act, and the BILLION dollars wasted in the ongoing process to turn ordinary citizens in to 'criminals' for continuing to own property they or their families may have owned for generations.. They want YOU to offer your time, so they can free up more officers to throw YOUR ass in jail when they find your great grandfathers old .22?)
Gun registry defends pace of licensing
David Austin said in a telephone interview from Ottawa that more than a million of the 1.8 million licensed gun owners in Canada have returned their packages already. (Yes, The majority of firearms owner 'have' returned their packages.... BLANK... )
Terrorist 'Sleeper Cells' in place:Liberal Priority? Disarm it's Citizens
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III yesterday told reporters that "sleeper cells" of would-be terrorists could
be operating throughout the world — including in the United States — and that they pose a potential threat for new strikes against U.S. and other targets. (See someone tampering with  a water supply? Call 911 and wait.. See someone sneaking around the perimeter of a nuclear power plant? Call 911 and wait... Stumble across a building full of ammonia nitrate fertilizer? Call 911 and wait... See someone cutting the perimeter fence at a military base? call 911 and wait.. Someone is stealing your crop duster? Call 911 and wait... What do they call unarmed citizens who call 911 and wait?..  'Dead'....)
