Making the rules for future civil unrest?

[Braveheart]

So, you have to have a PAL to be a carpenter now?

You will need trigger locks on nail guns?

Nails and air nailers must be stored separately?

Will a nail gun user need a restricted PAL as a nail gun is handgun sized?

Complete insanity.

[sawfly]

that's pretty insane.

[wmoebis]

So all the air-soft guns gifted at xmas by Santa to our kids are now illegal?

[fjlip]

And knives are used in the most crimes? Those darn pointy things in our lives should all be banned!

[SASKFARMER3]

Not my knife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take my guns but not my knife.


Darn Air Nailer will need a safety lock.

The question arises as to whether the Supreme Court did "today" classify "air nailers" as firearms. I find no evidence of that having occurred.

On Nov. 5/2014; the Supreme Court did indeed rule that "air guns" were firearms if muzzle velocity was capable of exceeding 214 fps. Now if there is prroof that "air guns" incleds "air nailers etc.; there are some pretty useful and neat Paslode air nailers; and their "ammunition" not only includes the staples and nails loaded into the magazine; but also propellant cartridges. It is quite important to know if there is any potential to get into trouble with purchasing; transporting or storing these components.
Especially at Customs ports; and especially when specifically asked about "guns and ammunition".

But again; I would like to see a link to the proof that the original post is based upon.

It has also been pointed out in court that any piece of metal, pipe or wood can be fashioned into a weapon; and that intent should be a paramount factor in conviction. There is also the important idea of intended use versus possibility of involvement in criminal activity. Just where does anyone stop the banning process.

Those arguments ultimately always seem to be appealed and end up seemingly not the deciding factors in what might be seen as fair justice.

One gets lost in the arguments and semantics; even whether capability to penetrate a "pigs eye" creates a deadly weapon; etc. etc.

But suffice it to say that concealed or displayed in the open; a simple jesting utterance or just admitting possession of any device is fully capable of ruining lives and reputation.

There are a total of nine judges on the Supreme Court, of that six were appointed by PM Harper.

Harper must be grinding his teeth on this one and thinking "those dam elitists, I have lost the West support"

This Priceless

This can't be for real.
