Need for compromise

Posted: 8/10/2001 4:16:15 PM EDT

Today a friend of mine informed me that the goverment intends to pass another law here that will result in all firearms being held at the police office and only being released to the owner if they explain why they need it. This got me thinking, what would you guys do if you where a Canadian? that up till now you had payed for all the registration and so on and you where forced to give it all over to the cops? remember, you cant just make these guns disapeer because the goverment has them on file, your only choices that I can think of are either buy a illegal firearm and bury it or build a firearm and bury it or even say one of your guns got stolen and bury it. what would you people do?

Give them my guns, when I need assistance, I will dial 911, and have them bring my guns to me.

man thats a tough call. i would think very hard about turning my weapons over. Today they will give them to you when you need them. tomorrow it's oh well we have them and you aren't getting them back. My first reaction is to stash them for a rainy day.
I hate to say it but i would also consider moving south.

Scarecrow..did your friend show you any proof of this. I've never heard of it and I try and keep current with our idiot government and their draconian gun laws.

I will not register my firearms, ergo, no confiscation. Simple. [kill]

Striker, My friend said it was in a issue of Canadian access to firearms [url]www.hypertech.yk.ca/business/whitehorse/firearms/[/url] ask for a free copy of their magazine, it contains sales on firearms and info on gun laws

A co-worker has a subscription to it. I'll check it out and let you know. I can't see that ever happening. I know my local PD doesn't have the man power or room to store all the firearms in our town. Heck a friend of mine on the force stored his rifles and shotgun in my gun safe because there wasn't anywhere to store them at the station and he was in the process of building and moving.

Stolen, every single ding dong one of them!

It wouldn't even slightly bother me to brazenly lie to a government that doesn't trust me with a weapon!

But I would certainly VOTE for a Conservative Party Government at each and every election. If you don't at least do that, then you'd better be heading South!

Anyone that does not comply is a cop hater and most likely a criminal.
