RCMP seize firearms from evaxuated homes

[Oliver88]

I suspect the RCMP will have to apologize and
will likely be sued by many people due to this
illegal break and entry without warrants.
Whoever gave the order should be arrested as
well.
How can looters easily see guns inside a house
when it is locked up?
They claim to have hundreds of guns
repossessed so this is more than randomly
stumbling across them.
Wouldn't it have been easier to simply put trigger
locks on all the guns if that was in fact the issue?
If they forced their way into homes and left them
unlocked they have now made the houses easier
targets for looters. What about TV's, jewellery,
furniture etc now when the door has been kicked
in?

The trust level of the RCMP has definitely
dropped to a very low level.

[Oliver88]

One more question I'd be raising is did the RCMP
actually destroy the registry for long guns like they
were supposed to? I'd be very suspicious about
how random the houses were that they picked to
do B&E's on.

For shits and gigles replace "firearms"
with "gold" and see how well this story
sits. That's a little more contemporary
with world events right now.

Unnecessary search and seizure, maybe not illegal if
ordered, but obviously abuse of power. This country
moves closer to a police state and the loss of
individual rights every day.
I believe it Thomas Jefferson:
Those who would sacrifice rights for security deserve
neither, paraphrased, I'm not sure of the exact quote.

Every community is built that way, Rocky. We
just do it and shut up about it.

Whoever told the RCMP to carry out this mission
has to be publicly fired. If the RCMP undertook
break ad enter by themselves, Ottawa has to sit
down and have a short talk with the head of the
RCMP, and ask for his resignation. Pars. U

Government is actually not to interfere
with the RCMP.

If they are that
valuable to you, why wouldn't you take them with
you - no law against that. Wrong. I never registered a gun, I can now own it, but if I am caught with a firearm in my possesion off my property it is a federal offence. As said harper did not go far enough.

I have a hunch if PMSH appoints a
commissioner, he can withdraw the appointment.
Same with his Cabinet

What's odd about this is, if i'm not reported missing and no one is looking for me, why would they then go and break into my home to look for me? What was the real mission besides an abuse of power?

[cottonpicken]

When i was young and dumb i use to wonder how the
hitlers,stalins,maos and pol pots had enough critical
mass of support to allow them to do what they did.

Now i dont wonder at all.

[cottonpicken]

They had a list.

[parsley]

Exactly, tippy.

I recall a swat team bursting into the Desrochers
home in Manitoba during the CWB border
crossing protests. They were ordered to come in
to squash protesting farmers, by some weasly
politician out on a power trip. I believe his name
was Ralph Goodale, Liberal manipulator of a
monopoly that wanted to keep farmers on their
knees. The swat team came in with black jackets
and hoods. You will recall the RCMP were
compliant, weren't they. And I'll bet a dollar to
donuts that the Alberta Justice Minister ordered
the RCMP to break into specified flood homes, if
the Wheat Board gov't institution has taught me
anything. And you can bet it's political, and
Redford is kept fully apprised of the raids she
ordered. When we learn who was targetted we'll
know why. Those are my beliefs. Hunches. Gut.
My personal conclusions. And of course I might
be proved wrong in a court of law.

Power-hungry politicians will stop at nothing to
encroach on anyone for there own ends, which is
why people need to nip the #RedfordGunRaids in
the bud. Your computers will be next. pars
