When I heard the news that Clifford Olson is nearly dead it almost brought tears to my eyes... It's true! Sure, they were tears of joy, but they were tears nonetheless. If the news reports are to be believed Clifford Olson, arguably Canada's most notorious serial killer, will soon be dead from cancer. Is it a sin to say that it couldn't happen to a more worthy … [Read more...]
Dialing 9-1-1 will not save your life… it’s sad but true
The majority of Canadians believe the police are there to protect them. It's a lie promoted incessantly by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and other political organizations that want a monopoly on the use of force in Canada. What's the first thing you hear from police spokes-ninnies when someone has the audacity to defend themselves against a violent … [Read more...]
Canada’s Firearms Act is as effective as ever… which means not at all.
Canada' Firearms Act keeps Canadians safe from gun violence. That's what the head of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) will have you believe, anyway. It's a load of Public Relations garbage, but they keep saying it. Let's take an example from news headlines to illustrate how useless the Firearms Act truly is. Off to Winnipeg, where flooding has the city … [Read more...]
Home Invasion a Warning to all Gun Owners
On Tuesday, February 22nd, a firearm collector in Ogden, AB opened his door to the wrong people. The two men, identities hidden behind masks and sunglasses, pulled a gun on the man and demanded access to his gun safe. Clearly they knew who he was and what types of firearms he owned. That they were willing to do an armed home invasion in the middle of the day shows their … [Read more...]
Innocent People Pay when stupid people get guns
There is nothing more tragic and horrifying than when a child gets killed by some idiot, with or without a gun. And it's one thing when the moron is just bat-shit crazy, like in Arizona recently. It's entirely another when it's because some asshole gang member thinks he's being cool, and fires his stolen handgun into a crowd of young girls. That's exactly what happened in … [Read more...]
Sex Offender found dead
Wish I could say I'm sorry, but I'm not. Police say that foul play is not suspected. Okay... You see, I'm one of those people who believe there's a special place in Hell for people who rape women or children. Dale Koenders is there right now. Pity... Police say a body found nearly two weeks ago near Progress Way is that of a convicted sex offender who walked … [Read more...]
Entire Police Force Quits in Mexican Town
Whatever you want to say about our system of justice, at least we don't have gangs openly attacking police stations in this country. (yet) The entire police force of the small town in northeastern Mexico quit on Tuesday, a day after gunmen attacked their headquarters. Los Ramones Mayor Santos Salinas said 14 members of the police force told him they quit on Tuesday morning. … [Read more...]
We ain’t got no Saturday Night Specials!
And it's a good thing too... Can you imagine? Someone with small hands actually being able to handle a firearm effectively and safely? Better to have small handguns in the hands of thugs and drug dealers on the streets of Toronto, don't you agree? After all, the only people that can have them since we passed the stupid Firearms Act back in 1995 is drug dealers and … [Read more...]
Armed Robbery – just another day at the office…
Except this time Drayton Valley RCMP knew who he was and issued a warrant for his arrest. A Drayton Valley teen is facing six charges in connection with an armed robbery. A 32-year-old woman was making a night deposit at a Drayton Valley bank around 10 p.m. Wednesday, when she was robbed by a masked man with a handgun, police said. The man fled with an undisclosed … [Read more...]
Handgun Registration Works! (or not…)
Handguns have been registered in Canada since 1934. You can't even buy one legally without jumping through all sorts of bureaucratic hoops, and when that's all done, you've got to apply for a Authorization to Transport just to take the thing to the range to shoot at a paper target. Unless you're a criminal, of course. Then none of this hassle applies, as is clearly shown … [Read more...]
The Uselessness of Gun Registry Shown Again
this time in Downtown Toronto, where two streets of the city had bullet shell casings littering the ground. Police found a total of 11 shell casings, calibres not identified, on Cather Cr. and Flemington Road. It seems the gang members doing the shooting didn't realize their pistols had to be registered, and they should have asked permission (aka Authorization to Transport … [Read more...]
Canada’s (In)Effective Gun Laws
In yet another stunning example of the ineptness of Canada's Firearms Act comes a news report out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. 20-year-old Jeremy Kyle St. Germain was arrested on August 7th, after managing to get himself shot. Jeremy is a career criminal with a firearms prohibition order in place. Despite his violent criminal past, police do not check up on him, his home is not … [Read more...]
Government Soldiers Murder More Citizens
Whenever anyone says that guns in the hands of civilians are a problem, I wonder if they live very sheltered lives. Here in North America we truly do exist in a vacuum. We think that the world's problems cannot reach us, despite 9/11 and other atrocities proving that head-in-the-sand attitude quite wrong. In Columbia some kids were getting sick from the drinking water. … [Read more...]
CCTV Cameras: the answer to murder?
Toronto has its share of shootings, murders, and violent crime. Like most major cities in North America it wants to ban handguns. And install more surveillance video cameras. Especially after one caught a murder as it happened. Yes, it's a very disturbing video. No question. One man murdered, the other wounded and in hospital. Not good, by any standard. Toronto … [Read more...]
If only there was ONE MORE LAW!!!
Apparently nobody told the current government that shooting up the streets as you're driving around on a Saturday night was illegal. Or that the crime of murder already had tons of laws on the books against it. And that they need to "expand the definition" of "serious crimes". Where's my darned barf bucket? What I find truly amusing about the latest "crackdown on crime" … [Read more...]
Britain’s Handgun Ban Fails Again
On July 31st an interesting news story came out of Britain. A college student was found with a handgun at London's Kingston College. Adamo Kizey, 18, was found with a handgun and loaded magazine. The police seized the handgun and the magazine, then took the young man back to his home, which they then proceeded to search. The search resulted in some marijuana and weigh … [Read more...]
Murder and Theft… on a Gun Range
An article out of Pennsylvania caught my attention and gave me pause. The title... "Slaying probe focuses on gun range users" led me to an article that, to be blunt, shocked me. Todd Getgen, father of 6-year-old Ethan, husband to Stella, was shot multiple times and killed at a shooting range. Police have no suspects. … [Read more...]
Incompetent Prison Officials Release Violent Offenders
And then they did their best to ensure nobody would ever find out about it. That's called deceit. Intentional, calculated, reprehensible deceit. There's an old rule for living that has been forgotten. When you make a mistake, admit it. Nobody likes making mistakes. Nobody wakes up in the morning and says to themselves or their loved ones, "I think I'll go screw up … [Read more...]
