In The Sights: Swiss Arms Black and Green Rifle
RCMP to ban non-restricted rifle?
I know what you’re thinking… Swiss Arms Black and Green Rifles are non-restricted- there is no record of possession. Any confiscation or compensation (which would be a lot, these puppies cost a pretty penny) would be based on voluntary grounds of the owner.
Not so!
RCMP already indicated how they treat non-registered firearms confiscation during the 1990s (pre-registry days, post C-17 when a swath of semis were banned outright).
RCMP go to retailers, forcibly obtain the permanent firearms sales records and GO TO THE LAST LISTED ADDRESS OF PURCHASER!

Great Moments In Socialism
Last week, Emergency Manager (and bankruptcy lawyer) Kevyn Orr decided to list the holdings of the Detroit Institute of Arts among the city’s assets in preparation for a possible bankruptcy. If the city goes through with it, it could be forced to sell off any of its assets–which now include the museum’s collection.
Let it burn.

It’s Probably Nothing
As is typical, the real news is to be found in the Financial Post;
Economists and policy makers have expressed concern that the greatest threat to the unity of the eurozone is now social breakdown from the crisis, rather than market-driven factors.
In France, Europe’s second largest economy, the number of jobless rose to a record in April, while in Italy, the unemployment rate hit its highest level in at least 36 years, with 40% of young people out of work.
More: Youth unemployment in Spain now stands at 56.4 percent. Ponder that.

The US State Department is starting to release 1.2 million public comments on the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline. Going into the comment period, environmental groups geared up to show their muscle. They promised that they would deliver one million comments from ordinary Americans who oppose the pipeline, which would create an estimated 20,000 jobs. The one-million comment march would, according to the pipeline’s foes, show a strong grassroots opposition to it, while also showing strong support for President Obama’s position scuttling the pipeline.
As the 1.2 million comments begin to emerge from the State Department, more than half of them turn out to have come from Americans who support the pipeline.
“When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal”
While the developing scandal over the targeting of conservatives by the tax agency has largely focused to date on its scrutiny of groups with words such as “tea party” or “patriot” in their names, these examples suggest the government was looking at a broader array of conservative groups and perhaps individuals. Their collective experiences at a minimum could spread skepticism about the fairness of a powerful agency that should be above reproach and at worst could point to a secret political vendetta within the government against conservatives.
