OPP cop killer was on bail after prior officer assault

[Badenoch]

Not to sure why you believe the pro gun control advocates are remaining silent? It might be out of respect for the fallen officer.

This incident is right up their alley ,if guns were not so readily available this would not have happened?

Guns that are "readily available" in America and easily smuggled into Canada past a government more interested in spending hundreds of millions, soon to be billions, compensating legal gun owners for their "assault-style rifles."

If illegal guns were not readily available in this country, like said above, we would have a lot less shootings, and also like said above, spend our money where it needs to spent, on the criminals, not the legals,

Well one thing for sure Steven Ryan on CP 24 said the other day, the officers up here will soon change in their traffic stops from our old style to the U.S. style and we end up with scenes like this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1Lpr0b8BIY

Those tactics have been in use,here,for quite some time,now. It's a credit to our training that the net results haven't been the same,although,sometimes, it doesn't seem that way..

Compensating? I would like to know where he thinks he is going to get the money for all these payouts. He has no clue to the enormity of the situation..then to be fair..he never has had a clue about anything.

The same place they get all of the money they spend on things they can't afford.

The names of those who decided to give this criminal bail....should be published.

I don't think you will ever get a penny for your guns, despite what they are claiming.

There is a well established legal precedent in Canada that while government can take your property in the public interest it must fairly compensate you for it. Governments know this which is why they didn't ban handguns but let owners keep the ones they have. It is why in the 1990's various weapons were grandfathered when people refused to give them up voluntarily. No compensation and see you in court.

The legal precedent can disappear like a puff of smoke. The Charter states quite specifically "........except where prescribed by law" and ".....for the greater good of society". Either one or both can be used by a sitting government. With a Liberal regime in power,guess which way that goes? I'm really surprised they haven't used that by now.

I think( can be wrong) they will sit this out-and wait.

Meanwhile-no legal owner gets paid-no legal owner can use them guns for anything. Just to stare at them ...
This is a win-win for the Government.

Guns NOT taken away-no need for payout.
Guns banned-Public believes that the Government actually did something for the safety of citizens..
