It'd be funnier if they weren't actually serious about it.

Everyone of those morons has their fingers on the triggers!

Apparently the only folks in PEI that are a hazard around fire arms are these three idiots.

three lefty statist rent seeking ugly broads who know everything about everything...

just foolin' around you see...to make it more palatable to the lieberal leaning pink necks....

is this a great country or what...

It has nothing to do with protecting Canadians from the bad guys.

It's all about protecting the useless government jobs for the liberal voting provinces.

It's really just another example of corruption by both the liberals and their supporters.

Unfortunately for them, the jokes on them. It's they that'll have to live in their welfare economy.

Yep, everyone of these morons has their finger inside the trigger guard..if you look closely, there is a a couple of sawed off rifles, a sawed off shotgun, an MP-5 clone, a Luger, a .32 pistol and a whole assortment of cut off and cut down hardware of all descriptions in that truck bed.

I want that Luger!

I count at least 40 firearms in that truck bed

Someone file a complaint.

Taking prohibited weapons out into the public, brandishing them in a threatening manner, has got to be an offence.

Look, we've got a picture to prove it.

Unauthorized possession of prohibited weapon or restricted weapon (2) Subject to subsection (4) and section 98, every person commits an offence who possesses a prohibited weapon, a restricted weapon, a prohibited device, other than a replica firearm, or any prohibited ammunition, unless the person is the holder of a licence under which the person may possess it.

This is disturbing, since it is, after all, tax dollars that pay these " public servants " salaries.

@Norman - Make no mistake about it. Complaints are on the way followed by giant swift kick in the ass.

Nothing to see here. As Blame Crash points out ... nothing more than some overpaid, underworked civil servants engaging in a lame attempt to justify their positions.

Although these fools should be dragged, kicking and screaming from the public teat and shown the door, we all know that's not gonna happen anytime soon. In the meantime, such infantile displays should be ignored.

Maniac has responded with a scornful remark!

Approach and repeat ultimatum in an even firmer tone of voice. Add the words "Or Else!"

Simon Phoenix! Lie Down, on the ground. Or Else!

We're police officers! We're not trained to handle this kind of violence!

What's sad is that if Joe Public posted a similar "good humored" picture on the Internet, the Firearms Office together with the RCMP would track him down, seize his firearms, and work tirelessly to have him serve 5 years as a felon with a lifetime firearms ban thrown in for good measure.

Besides, seized firearms do not become the play things of the CFO. Do we allow police to post anti-speeding videos of themselves joy-riding around in seized Corvettes? Do the right thing Vivian Hayward: turn yourself in for prosecution for unsafe storage.

They are setting themselves up for an unfortunate firearms accident (known in military circles as a negligent discharge), and given the way they are pointing the firearms one of them or the unfortunate cameraman is going to get shot.....

But wait...........wait.

I thought we were paranoid when we said the gun laws were all about confiscation!!

Alternative headline: The Face(s) of Prince Edward Islands' Department of Justice and Safety.

Gun registration and eventual confiscation is a product of the United Nations. This issue has been before the security council on numerous occasions.

The Canadian Government of the day, (Liberal) fully supported the UN long term goal of disarming all civilians world wide. Due to a couple unfortunate incidents, both Great Britain and Australia have virtually completely disarmed their citizens. I'm sure if you checked, most of the EU countries have done the same or made it so difficult for a citizen to own a firearm it is effectively illegal to own one. We know all the totalitarian regimes have totally disarmed their civilians, except in Aloha snackbar countries, where firearms and explosive materials seem all to easy to obtain.

cheers, mike

Wait a second. The MP5 she is carrying is classified as a prohibited weapon. Can we even buy one here?

M.

We can buy them with our tax dollars.

It's the police and military that get to use them.

Unauthorized possession of prohibited weapon or restricted weapon (2) Subject to subsection (4) and section 98, every person commits an offence who possesses a prohibited weapon, a restricted weapon, a prohibited device, other than a replica firearm, or any prohibited ammunition, unless the person is the holder of a license under which the person may possess it.

That's why the liberals insist on the registry. The liberals want to ban all self-loading [semi-automatic] rifles and shotguns. Their position is on public record. They coerce people into registering their firearms, then they can make the S-A restricted and prohibited since now they know where to go to seize them. The other purpose served is a 'shopping list' of Cdn firearms from the criminals who hacked into the notoriously porous government computer system.

Criminals and liberal politicians want the gun registry for all the same reasons.

So, we give them our guns or they shoot us with theirs (which were confiscated from other gun owners)? I like my chances against those three.

But, when they have everyone's guns, what will they want next?

@ Curious: Well yeah it's just kind of surprising to see a bureaucrat who is in charge of harassing legal gun owners posing with a gun in an ad that can't be legally owned :P

That's an MP-5 clone that fires semi-auto only..

Looks more like an inciting Photo Shop job to me.

Chris that ain't Photoshop, that's improper storage and handling of a firearm(s). You or I would get keelhauled for doing something similar.

PEI folks are pretty nice as a rule but if you want to get past the "Welcome tourist" facade for some "reality time" just tell them:
Horse racing is stupid, or
You are in town to decide if you want to take up a government job offer for which no one on the island has the necessary qualifications, or
Ask "Is it true you once had an honest woman Liberal Premier here and she scared everybody so much her sleazy party dumped her and the island then elected pie in the sky Tories to lull them back to sleep?"

Chris that ain't Photoshop, that's improper storage and handling of a firearm(s). You or I would get keelhauled for doing something similar.

Gord, it's just an image. Prove its authenticity and then you may have a point.

When the new gun laws came into effect, here is a shopping list that was turned in by my father and uncle to the police in Toronto:

.makes you cry..the govt scared them into getting rid of everything, a collection built since the war, 1945-1968 or so..

N0. 5 Lee-Enfield jungle carbine
M-1 Garand
M-1 carbine
M-2 carbine
Mauser 98 k with factory scope
Walther PPK
Walther PP
Mauser P-38
Webley .455 auto
Webley .45 break action
Sten Mk. 1
Sten Mk. 2
Bolo Mauser 7.65mm
Armalite AR-15
Stoner AR-10
ex-OPP .38 service pistol
Browning .25 auto pistol
Erma MP28
Tokarev SVT
DWM Artillery Luger 1915
Kreighof navy Luger 1940
Mauser G-43 8mm
Lee-Metford .303

The kicker? 20 years later, the RCMP contacted him because one of the guns ( the .25 auto I believe) was used in a hold up in Edmonton..now I ask you folks..how do guns that get turned in, in Toronto, get used in hold ups in Edmonton 20 years later?

You tell me..

I suspect you already scoped this one out K.

From the "Red Star"
MP Charlie Angus (Timmins-James Bay) said his “Granny Angus” didn’t raise him to run away from a fight and he will oppose Manitoba Conservative MP Candice Hoeppner’s bill during the final House of Commons vote, even though he supported it earlier.

“The Conservatives are unfortunately creating an impression that rural Canadians are somehow nut jobs, but they are not. For me, at the end of the day, I just don’t want to be standing beside these guys,” Angus said.

“At this point I am going to vote against this bill because I think the Conservatives … are treating Canadians as if they are fools on this.’’ .
Who is the bigger fool Charlie, seems to be the Liberals and NDP are trying to convince Canadians that the rural voters in this country cannot be trusted today with weapons that have been in their hands unregistered for the last century or so, but today they're all 'right wing extremists'. Could be the riding of Timmins-James Bay will be seeing a new member after the next election, because IMO someone with this twisted logic shouldn't be sitting in the House as a representative.

I'll take the "or else"

In PEI these simple serpents have little to do during their taxpayer paid day. Until now.

I canceled my Labor Day vacation for PEI-

To many frightening pictures of guns and hurricanes.

"Oh, the humanity."

Oh cripes. It's just a joke. Stop whining you old cranky bat.

Bureaucrats with guns who are trying to look mean and tough do not intimidate me at all.

No Larry, it actually isn't a joke. Even ignoring the incredibly stupid message, that is WAY beyond improper handling and storage of a firearm, many of them restricted firearms, some of them just plain illegal.

I was going to say if you or I were caught doing this, we would be spending some quality time in jail, but then I corrected myself. You probably couldn't handle the weight of a MP5 for more than 10 or 15 seconds.

Anyone see a trigger lock?

Reminds me of the famous old photo:

http://www.fivefeetoffury.com/:entry:fivefeet-2010-09-03-0004/

And I would guess the VAST majority of the guns in the bed of that truck have been seized from law-abiding citizens.

What are they using for target practice, potato eyes?

This is the power behind the CHRC and other Liberal repression agencies.

Confiscating guns is critical to keeping YOU in line.

What that line is - is whatever these weirdo’s decide it’s going to be! Every Canadian from sensible conservative to fruit-fly Liberal twink should be worried (whether they own a gun or not). Eventually it will be your hobby or personal property (whatever that may be) which will become a political issue or not to these lunatics tastes.

For example, wait until they decide that your pets are too dangerous to your families health, a menace to society and a considerable contributor to global warming. Bye bye family dogs and cats, goldfish and parrots, you will become public enemy number one to even want one.

Stand up now before it’s your turn to face these freakish misfits of our society.

They want guns, huh?

I want Wendy to blow me.

These idiots will not listen to us. They can make all the noise they want but the reality is the average canadian in Ontario and Quebec is an uneducable f-tard - and they want gun bans and gun control.

Political process doesn't work, all we get are more bans and stupider regulations. I recommend what Alberta is doing: civil disobedience and non compliance.

These are seriously stupid people.

It's probably all just a joke to them.

But the government employees don't understand that there are tens, maybe hundreds of thousands, of Canadians who will look at that picture and see a bunch of idiot bureaucrats who for no good reason are going to take aware their property and see it just as a joke.

These unworthy nobodies have been given the power to arbitrarily seize property or worse (ruining people's lives on a whim or based on misinformation) and to them it's a joke.

A f*cking joke!

I know what Cee Lo would say (can't get enough of that song).

Oh...and for the record, I think I will take the 'Or Else Option'.

i know this makes me a kinda mean person but i really couldn't give a shit since i freely admit i AM mean vicious vindictive cruel sarcastic and not surprisingly am always right...about everything...

Like Knight99 explains:

Be very suspicious of any government wanting to take your guns.

Though, it's a tad late in Trudeaupia to worry about that as we already are giving power to Government to seaze our lands:

"Your Land Is Not Your Land (Excerpt)

The right to own property is one of the hallmarks of a prosperous society and Canadians generally feel secure in the ownership of their businesses and homes. However, they are not as safe as they once were. As the right of ownership in Canada is eroding, much as it has in the United States in recent years.

Consider a recent Manitoba Court of Appeal decision that ruled that the Rural Municipality (RM) of Ellice has the legal right to expropriate 288 acres of land from Arthur Fouillard, an 86-year-old farmer, so it can develop a tourist attraction. This precedent -setting verdict means a local government can now take anyone’s property for virtually any reason as long as the council thinks it is “necessary or desirable for all or a part of the municipality.”

Historically, a local government’s power to expropriate was limited to the needs of Public utilities -- roads, sewers, ditches and the like. However, changes made to the Municipal Act in 1997 opened the door to the seizure of property for “economic reasons.” Essentially, it is within a local government’s power to, for lack of a better term, -nationalize- an entire municipal economy. And it means the government can seize Mr. Fouillard’s property, property he has owned for more than fifty years.

His land is located on the east side of the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border near the junction of the Assiniboine and Qu’Appelle rivers. It includes a plateau with a picturesque view of the surrounding valley, which during the 1800s was home to Fort Ellice, a Hudson’s Bay trading post. Other than a few tombstones, not much of the fort remains, but the RM thinks it can turn it into a tourist attraction..."

Find the rest here:

http://www.fcpp.org/publication.php/1916

Well... at least they shaved.

1) Careless use of a firearm.
2) Posession of a restricted weapon W/O a permit 3)Possession of a prohibited weapon.

3 counts you're out! Stock get 3 pink slips and a jail cell ready - we can't have public employees promoting criminal activity.

I have only one thing to say to those 2 bitches and bastard in the above picture.

You want my guns?

MOLON LABE!

COME AND TAKE THEM!

Granted, the obvious contempt for firearms safety, for safe handling, and for the law, displayed in this photo are appalling.

However, by FAR the more urgent and disturbing message is the clearly stated agenda of civilian disarmament. Complete confiscation -- apparently so often discussed in the office as to be something they fantasize about.

A disarmed, defenceless society is NOT one in which we want to live. It simply encourages the thugs by guaranteeing them a defenceless soft target.

Kursk, that's the saddest story I've heard in a while. Classic guns those.

If I were you guys, I would squirrel a few away for when the economy collapses down here completely.

Kursk; not unusual and I heard this from a retired Mountie. The most common way cops are caught in a moral dilemma is when the perp has been booked and his remaining junk happens to contain a couple of desirable items. Rather than see something nice end up destroyed it often ends up in the cop's pocket. What is the perp gonna do? Complain to the human rights commision? Cops will tell you, if they are honest, that the long gun registry has made their jobs more difficult.

Kursk, same thing happened in Victoria when a Victoria police service revolver was taken in during an investigation. The Victoria Police department had misplaced twenty service weapons in the previous years and didn't know about it until one showed up in, I think it was, an armed robbery. If the protectors can't control their own weapons what makes Canadians think they can, or should, control ours.

The fact that piling these weapons out in public is pretty stupid and illegal, I am wondering where these weapons were secured before and after the photo "shoot"? Do you mean to tell me that these were stored in that shopping plaza office? Unless it has a walk-in vault this looks like an open invitation for a drive-through, one-stop gun shopping trip.

I still remember the day that the cruiser showed up at our house with two uniformed officers ( after my family had specifically requested plainclothes) My mother felt it showed the neighbours that they had done something illegal.

The police were shown the items that were to be taken away and the one officer would not let my father handle the rifles! He nearly crapped himself when he saw the full auto items..

My father was made to feel like a criminal in his own home; it was so sad to see those fine firearms disappear I can tell you that.

I remember the shocked look on the face of the female constable from the firearms unit..I often wonder if the police saw the firearms more as sources of cash than as confiscated property.

That's who runs your government my friend. Overweight, cubicle-dwelling ex-cheerleader bimbos with less sense than God gave a chicken. They decide what you get to buy and if you get to keep it or not, and how and where and for what purpose. Those stupid, stupid women own your @ss Mr. Bear sir.

Instead of taking me to task because I didn't parrot all the boilerplate gun safety BS like a good, obedient, pious little serf, why don't you send THEM a letter? Make yourself useful.

what The Phantom said

@ right honourable terry tory..

Perhaps Mr. Fouillard should offer his land to the local Indian Band, at half price, provided they promise to keep it undeveloped, and allow him and his decendants access to a small corner.

He could get a decent stipend, but most importantly, he could get satisfaction, screwing that Municipal council in Ellice, heads would be exploding all over..LoL!

How would they justify their thieving profiteering to the local Indian Band Council?
Just a thought.

"I just don’t want to be standing beside these guys,” Angus said."

Considering that Angus is a member of the NDP, I have trouble believing that he's real picky about who he stands beside. The fact that Angus had a change of heart about supporting the bill is a pretty good indication that he has received a re-education lesson from Jack Layton about allowing average Canadians to exercise personal responsibility.

Abandoning your constituents in order to toe the party line is seldom a good career move. If there's any justice in the world, Angus will be replaced at the first opportunity. One less idiot in Ottawa is always a step in the right direction.

“If I were you guys, I would squirrel a few away for when the economy collapses down here completely.”

Tim it’s amazing how many Canadians are looking at the “US meltdown” as some sort of temporary recession happening to someone else, but assuming a recovery is around the corner. I believe allot of Americans are living that sort of denial, but Canadians have taken it to a whole new level of naivety. Conservatives and Liberals alike.

In all fairness, most working Canadians don’t find the luxury time to educate themselves about the real economic issues facing the world. Along with the fact that because of conservative leadership, Canada has fared brilliantly through the last two years of global turn down. That will change pretty quick once the US depression really starts to find its stride and Canada looses 65% of its exporting ability from the US alone.

Those that aren’t “squirreling away” be warned. There won’t be any charity coming your way from anywhere, once things go south.

I was at my local pistol range a few months back and an RCMP officer I shoot with frequently showed up and was showing off pictures of a Thompson machine gun he had seized that morning. I asked him what would happen to it “chop it up”? He said “hell no, something like this we’ll keep to piss around with at the range, and will probably use it for training demonstrations.

Anyway the point is, seized property is not always scrapped, if they like it, it becomes property of the Crown.

Not to interject myself into a personal flame war of some sort. But what’s up with people like this “Bear” character?

“Still having trouble with the concept of barrel control aren't you?”

Why just an out of the blue ridiculous comment like that? Anyway I think an interesting SDA topic one day would be a discussion about self proclaimed guru’s that jump on SDA commenter’s, talking crap and most probably knowing crap – For no apparent reason.

I just find the whole thing bizarre.

Anyway Phantom “the concept of barrel control” is do not point a loaded gun at your head and squeeze the trigger, just in case you didn’t know.

Don't EVER put words in my mouth. EVER. I do NOT, and will NOT support gun control in any form. You, HOWEVER have NO CLUE as to the safe use of a firearm. NONE! Safety's & trigger's & are for idiots that think they always work as intended. Got it? No, didn't think so.

If you go gold digging in Alberta, itsmore than likely you will uncover the many many arms catches by owners in Alberta. We ain't stupid. Being invaded twice than economically raped by Ottawa through the NEP, teaches you a thing or two.
Ottawa under anyone with power. Would not hesitate to use arms against its own citizens. Historically it has repeatedly.
The RCMP where concentration camp guards at one time during the Boar war.
Chretien had no problem pepper spraying people.
Once you realize Ontario is Canada with you only a resource base. It all makes sense. No one is really a citizen unless from Ontario or more importantly Quebec.
The Wests answer:

Sail Away

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlkSepPTLUc

I LIKE gun control!

That's why I use two hands and a solid stance.

Right, Revnant Dream, we can sail away however I'm one Canadian that isn't willing to run away. It has taken us about five hundred years to carve a country out of this wilderness, and in the process form a society that once was the envy of the world. I'll admit in the last fifty or so years we've been fighting an uphill battle, maybe because we lost so many good Canadians trying to straighten out the problems that the lefties dropped us into during the last war. I'm not going to go quietly, and I expect a lot of name calling and worse from the Liberals and NDP in the next little while, but no I'm not going quietly I will support the abolishment of the LGR and the curtailment of immigration as a start.

Rev-"The RCMP where concentration camp guards at one time during the Boar war"

The Japs in WW2 as well.
The nazis first rule of business was gun control and then speech suppression, and even dogs know what followed.

Its a joke our here in the West. While the East obsesses over Quebec, where silently closing up buisness with the East.
We have already left the dock. Why do you think Alberta has its own Ambassador to the USA? Why the last 5 years so many accords have been made by the West for only the West.
What Easterners fail to realize is the NEP was a physic shock of a scale of 10 out here.
No one will ever be caught out again.
Most folks out here simply do not trust Eastern Canada anymore. It has betrayed us all through our history. From a point of view, yours is just as valid. From my point its the same.
I mean we where all colonies including the Americans with us. Sometimes you have to move on to grow up.

Point taken RD, but perhaps instead of sailing away we dig a ditch from Thunder Bay to James Bay, similiar to the Red River Floodway.

So this photo is illegal in Canada? It comes across as a lame attempt at bad ass. Not to rub it in but as an American thank God for the concept of unalienable Rights, which apply to all humans, I hope you can some day secure them fully.

the bear said: "Don't EVER put words in my mouth. EVER."

Maybe you should go back and read my comment again, I think maybe you didn't understand what I said. In fact, I'm pretty sure you didn't understand my first comment either.

I'm pretty sure everybody who comments here knows not to point a pistol at their head. But the Chief Firearms Officer for Prince Edward Island apparently doesn't. If things like that upset you maybe you should tell -her- off. It would be a better use of your time.

Me, I'm not going to shed a tear if she manages to Darwin Award herself.

The CFO is ex-Military Police.

She knows better than to handle firearms inappropriately.

In fact, she DEFINATELY knows how allegations of inappropriate firearm handling are career destructive.
