There is nothing more dangerous than a corrupt, bankrupt well armed Government.

Paul,

The number handed in is insignificant when compared to the alleged number of illegal firearms.

"Included in the haul of dangerous weapons are nine powerful military-grade assault rifles.
Acting Assistant Commissioner Dave Donohue says the SKS assault rifles, which come in very large calibres...."

Great quote.
Pure codswallop.

SKS rifles are not assault rifles, they are not regarded as powerful and they come in a small calibre; can't fault the statement otherwise!!

Issy, now you are putting yourself up as a greater expert than Acting Assistant Commissioner Dave Donohue, whom I have quoted. Far be it for me, not to bow down when in the presence of the exalted firearms expert himself.
Large bore or small bore. what I do know is, it bores a rather decent hole in a trumped up exalted firearms expert if he's looking down the wrong end of the barrel when the bloody things goes off! Now that would test your brains, would it not?

Can't fault the codswallop otherwise!!

Paul1405,

Please show where the below section of your unattributed quote is enclosed in full inverted commas signifying it is a direct quote of what the A/G Asst Commissioner actually said and the link to the source.

<Acting Assistant Commissioner Dave Donohue says the SKS assault rifles, which come in very large calibres, could have fallen into the wrong hands and caused significant damage>

Where it is not so enclosed the reporter is telling you that s/he is giving his/her own words, which of course can include his/her own opinion and speculation.

Was that on your mind when you conveniently omitted the link?
