As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Surely the Obama Bureau of Anarchy, Terrorism, Firearms and Executions will soon be joining the Canadian Leftist Supreme Court in the banning of along with Russian AK 47's, Saigas, Green Tip Ammunition from Lake City, and yes ..........
You have no idea what I am writing of?
Well just like machine guns, the Canadian Supreme Court has now ruled that children's bb guns are now weapons and must be treated like all other firearms, even though there is no fire involved at all in a puff of air as that is what an air gun is.
SUPREME COURT OF CANADA RULES THAT AIR GUNS ARE "FIREARMS"
On Wednesday, November 5, the Supreme Court of Canada issued its ruling R. v. Dunn, finding that most air guns are considered “firearms” for all purposes in the Criminal Code except for licensing and registration.
The Court affirmed the previous decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal, which itself had overruled a decade of its own jurisprudence in finding that air guns are “firearms”. Prior to this case, the courts had held that air guns are not treated as “firearms” unless they are used for some offensive or unlawful purpose.
This decision applies to all air guns that are capable of causing serious bodily injury or death. Most courts have found that any air gun with a velocity of more than 214 feet-per-second meets this threshold. The vast majority of air guns sold across the country are capable of such a velocity.
This decision will have numerous significant impacts on those who buy and use air guns lawfully in Canada.
First of all, the Criminal Code provisions regarding careless storage, use and transportation of firearms now apply to air guns. Therefore, it is an offence to store or transport an air gun in a “careless” manner. However, because the ordinary firearms Storage Regulations do not apply to air guns, air gun owners are left with absolutely no guidance as to what precisely constitutes careless storage of an air gun.
It will be left up to police, prosecutors and courts to determine what charges will be laid, which will be prosecuted and ultimately who will be found guilty of this nebulous and ambiguous offence.
Moreover, as air gun owners do not require a license or a firearms safety course to possess these items, law-abiding Canadians will not be put on notice of the new legal requirements for air gun use, storage, transportation, etc.
Secondly, the offence of “carrying a concealed weapon” now applies to air guns, regardless of whether or not the air gun owner acts in an otherwise lawful manner. Placing an air gun in a backpack, a pocket or other concealed place will now be a criminal offence.
As the Supreme Court has ruled on this issue, the only route forward is through legislative amendment. Canada’s National Firearms Association has been extremely active on this front and will continue to pressure the government and provide all assistance in order to see that this decision be responded to by Parliament.

Personally, I can hardly wait until the American BATFE becomes the BATFEP & E, as those Popsicle sticks surely are weapons and Eggs have all those shell fragments in some type of sulfur in rotten eggs is both explosive and toxic............
If I were Queen of Canadia, I would line up these judges in Ottawa and have the Canucks with balls and ovaries yet, shoot at them in some kind of gauntlet with bb guns to teach them what weapons are.........as the loser the race would then get to run the gauntlet of baby fur seal clubbers who could wack the black robed lawyer until it's pelt was suitable for some kind of skin coat.
I would bet if I were Canuckian that the above would get me a Mark Steyn invitation to leave that growing Obamanation of Canada.
I do wonder when we are going to have to register rocks in our yards as weapons.....
Yippee Ky Yi Yea motherf*cker. Up yours with a Red Ryder.
