They shouldnt allow mounties to have cars, only horses- they are supposed to be "mounted", after all...

Is it legal to enter a home in Canada without a warrant? Is it legal to confiscate their property without said warrant? Is it legal to do either of those things without suspecting that a crime was in progress?

If not, then the police broke the law to prevent someone else from breaking the law.

This is NO different than if the police raided a bank and took all the money, to prevent a robber from breaking into the bank and taking all the money.

Instead of trampling the rights of lawful citizens to protect the peace, why not arrest the criminals? Wasn't the town under a mandatory evacuation order? This means that anyone who is left is a criminal. Arrest them, and then they can't take the weapons.

When it comes to guns, the only guns they can find without effort, are in the hands of the law abiding. so that's the ones they steal, constantly. This was a perfect storm for the mounties to pull a stunt like this.

There's very little actual consent in Canada. Dissatisfaction is rising and consent is shrinking.

There were not a lot of people leaving their guns in plain view. That is a bold faced lie. I would find it hard to believe there were any.
Especially on the kitchen table.

The penalties are very harsh for improper storage, up to and including a loss of all guns, gun prohibition, thousands and thousands of dollars to fight it, endless crown appeals and then poverty, maybe jail time. They just keep tacking on charges until you give up and accept the plea deal.

The gun laws are quite insane. And they do make them up as they go. One guy spent 100 days in jail for ordering a bb gun that he never received. Then they let him out with no charges. They're nuts. And accountable to no one.
