You mean that anyone can buy one of these potential murder weapons without going through a safety training course and being registered as an owner? I call for an immediate ban on the sale of meat tenderizers and a grandfathering of current owners - after they take an approved government training course and register their weapons. I think a 'pixels for pummelers' program needs to be initiated to get these dangerous objects off the streets. I mean, "If it saves even one life ...."

An A+ for effort and tenacity for a proven trench fighter. Next time you'll have the benefit of this sobering experience, but so will the other side. You're fighting against the 'political correctness' game - which was what Harper referenced as he worked to leave the 'hayseeds' out of the CPC when he moved it from Calgary to Bay Street. Little did ole Steph realize citizens have a greater need for Wilderness Carry on downtown Bay St. than walking in the Foothills. Never fear, next time you'll have worked to have enough 'ducks in order' to do and end run on the Party Sophisticates. Maybe there's a way to out-progressive the Progressives who would chose to trample on the rights of law abiding gun owners. Maybe you can re-work a few liberal tenants to your advantage. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:18:49 -0800 (PST) From: redensign@yahoo.com Subject: Re: CFD V12 #597: Lee Enfield Stupidity Unreal! Those silly bloody Brits giving a guy five years for possessing a practically obsolete Lee Enfield bolt-action rifle? Could someone please explain to me how the British, who once believed strongly in self-defence and "every home a castle", have come to this sorry pass? Incrementalism? Is human life not worth defending at the individual level? Wake up and smell the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, UK ... or has your Common Sense become ultra-common Nonsense because of the Great Watering-Down of your population through wholesale immigration policy? Thank God the Magna Carta got passed before this present generation was born. "Great" Britain has become a nation of bloodless "mother-may-I?" reluctants.

The rifle was not in a condition to fire live ammunition. But Stafford Crown Court heard replacing the deteriorated pin would have made that possible. Phillip Peter Kent, aged 29, of Owen Walk, Highfields, Stafford, was arrested in the street by police acting on information at 7.30am on June 20 this year. Officers asked what they would find if they searched his home and he immediately told them about the Lee-Enfield rifle. Mr Stephen Bailey, defending, told the court yesterday Kent had not bought ammunition nor sought to make any alterations to allow live bullets to be fired. He also said Kent, a former member of the Territorial Army, was told by the seller the weapon had been de-commissioned. Mr Bailey said: "He is a collector of memorabilia . To his knowledge the rifle was not capable of firing. He paid £100 for it from a man in Hanley about a year ago. He never knew about firearms legislation. "He was told by the person who sold it to him it was de-commissioned. He was a bona fide, not secretive, collector and was immediately and absolutely co-operative. "The gun was in the state in which he received it and, although that does not make it a non-prohibited weapon, there was no ammunition, no evidence of his seeking any or of intentional or actual use." Kent pleaded guilty to possessing the rifle. Pleading with Judge John Maxwell to spare him the minimum five-year jail term for this category of offence on the grounds of exceptional circumstances, Mr Bailey said: "Custody would be devastating. It would deeply affect his family and he would lose his accommodation." But Judge Maxwell said Parliamentary guidance meant strong sentences should be given for illegal firearms possession. "I feel bound to impose the minimum sentence of five years," he added. - ------------------------------ EDIT - ------------------------------ End of Cdn-Firearms Digest V12 #597 *********************************** Submissions: mailto:cdn-firearms-digest@scorpion.bogend.ca Mailing List Commands: mailto:majordomo@scorpion.bogend.ca Moderator's e-mail address: mailto:drg.jordan@sasktel.net List owner: mailto:owner-cdn-firearms@scorpion.bogend.ca FAQ list: http://www.canfirearms/Skeeter/Faq/cfd-faq1.html Web Site: http://www.canfirearms.ca CFDigest Archives: http://www.canfirearms.ca/archives To unsubscribe from _all_ the lists, put the next four lines in a message and mailto:majordomo@scorpion.bogend.ca unsubscribe cdn-firearms-digest unsubscribe cdn-firearms-chat unsubscribe cdn-firearms end (To subscribe, use "subscribe" instead of "unsubscribe".) ------------------------------ End of Cdn-Firearms Digest V12 #602 *********************************** Submissions: mailto:cdn-firearms-digest@scorpion.bogend.ca Mailing List Commands: mailto:majordomo@scorpion.bogend.ca Moderator's e-mail address: mailto:drg.jordan@sasktel.net List owner: mailto:owner-cdn-firearms@scorpion.bogend.ca FAQ list: http://www.canfirearms/Skeeter/Faq/cfd-faq1.html Web Site: http://www.canfirearms.ca CFDigest Archives: http://www.canfirearms.ca/archives To unsubscribe from _all_ the lists, put the next four lines in a message and mailto:majordomo@scorpion.bogend.ca unsubscribe cdn-firearms-digest unsubscribe cdn-firearms-chat unsubscribe cdn-firearms end (To subscribe, use "subscribe" instead of "unsubscribe".)
