Hell to pay: Residents angry as RCMP seize guns from High River homes (with video)
:shock:
As if the poor people suffering through the flood don't have enough to worry about already. They're understandably upset about the situation - effectively being disarmed, as well, their homes being breached and their possessions being rifled through by law enforcement. I think this would justifiably cause anyone to feel small in an insignificant way, given that if they resist their police's maneuvers, they face arrest or potentially worse circumstances. It is sad to see a civilized society resort to these types of gross abuses upon its people.
Can't watch video.What is the excuse the RCMP are using?
I'm with you it sucks and I'm not sure they should be in the peoples homes.
Dang. No one?
“We just want to make sure that all of those things are in a spot that we control, simply because of what they are,” said Sgt. Brian Topham.
“People have a significant amount of money invested in firearms ... so we put them in a place that we control and that they’re safe.”

These people just sat there and let them do it??
If they didn't then the state would have taken away their health care too. That's the cool part about being the state when the people give you authority to take over everything.

Neither of you read the article did you?
Also they are going to be giving the firearms back and I can understand, as a Soldier you know, to not wanting leave a firearm unsecured. Now if they refuse to give them back, well now you've got an issue on your hands.

Gosh, I wonder how they determined which homes to invade in order to take these firearms into custody? I would love to know if they are going to reimburse owners for damages to any secure storage containers/gun safes? I also love the part that the owners will have to prove ownership. You would think all they would have to do is show residency in the home they were confiscated from.
Looter can't steal and then murder someone with a nice pair of earrings.If it's safe enough for the RCMP to go in and collect the firearms then why can't they allow the residents to go in and collect what THEY feel is valuable? I mean, if you're going to be all nice and stuff and take care of my $800 AR for me then why not let me go in and and take care of my $5,000 stereo/home theater or my wife's $10,000 worth of jewelry?

Right! Sure they are!

Same thing happened during Katrina in NOLA, that practice is now against the law in La. in retrospect. Any officer that engages in an unjustified disarmament faces criminal charges.Hell to pay: Residents angry as RCMP seize guns from High River homes (with video)
