A prime example of what?  The system ended up working for him and he got his weapons back and charges dismissed: Probably was a bad day for buddy, but since the police were given bad info that had public safety implications they had to act on it.  We also don't know what was said by the gun...

Every day I come up against the great divide between what is right and what is lawful.  It is a massive juggling act that all police have to do within themselves.  Lets face it; as the bumper sticker says, "There are a great many people that are only alive because it is against the law to kill...

Am I the only one who thought that article seemed to be off its Ritalin?  All over the board!  Okay, calling the Prime Minister a bad, irresponsible Canadian because he didn't just rush to expand a citizens powers of arrest as a result of one visible minority getting charged is really pushing...

Pretty sure that hasn't happened here.  Mr. Ruhl- You are generally articulate and can present a point well when you chose to.  I have to believe that you could have made some sort of metaphorical comment against the registry without invoking a painful memory to all officers of that brutal...

Yeah, but at least he's dead.  ;)

The more affluent this country becomes, the more money we shovel into welfare and societal leeches.  Net result for average Joe/Jane?  Zilch. 

They will be out in 18 months. How horrible.  They will never be able to be lawful gun owners and support the Registry.  That is just a damned shame.  They are victims here too, I guess  :P

You have to file an intent to defend, otherwise the lawsuit sails through and the person gets everything they ask for.  I would be blown away if it actually ever sees a trial though.  This stuff is certainly something to settle out of court. 

They probably have him doing somebodies staff work and since he is doing too good of a job with it, he can't be spared to leave. 

Wow, chicks must be all over you like monkeys on a convertable at the lion safari  ;D But seriously, you are arguing with the wrong guy.  Most of us don't support the registry.  Try not being so defensive, you'll come across more credible.  And most of the guns used by gang bangers come in...

The government did not support their police at Ipperwash when officers were being fired at with actual bullets.  Forget about opening fire at a mob.  It comes down to whether or not the officer felt their or someone else's life was in danger, but when your organization won't back you, you second...

Equal parts pathetic and not surprising.  Every time institutional spinelessness like that occurs, it puts every officers life in danger by causing the insurgents to be more bold. 

There, fixed it for you.  Sadly. 

No good deed goes unpunished.  Gotta love working for hand-wringers.  ::)

Perhaps the difference lays in the speed in which an event comes on?  For the most part, snipers have a more deliberate job to do and get to mentally prepare for the task at hand.  For the average infanteer on a combat patrol, things can turn to the dumper in an instant when something blows up...

Not at all.  Ultra Max seems to be suggesting that pilots (or maybe just him) are somehow better able to cope with their "death from above" than the guys on the ground.  Seems a bit ingenuous and denigrating to both combat pilots and snipers.  Perhaps it's just me. 

Oh wow, you are so incredibly mentally superior to everyone who is a underling ground pounder.  Truly, your sweat must cure cancer  ::)  Maybe you should teach the sniper course? 

Being an oppressive Islamic theocracy that answers to no one but a handful of fanatics.  We don't need a rifle that bad. 

Not necessarily.  People sign "bonds" all the time and never put up a cent.  Basically, you are saying that you agree to be on the hook for that money if the person they are vouching for screws up.  The fun part (Go Justice!!) is that when the breach of conditions occurs, they don't generally go...

Doubt it.  If she's as useless a ration converter as the appears to be, she'll qualify for legal assistance.  She'll kick around in lock up until the trial comes, she'll plead guilty to time served and agree to do a bunch of "community service" where she'll be such a disruptive beeotch she will...
