City of High River residents ordered to evacuate then cops swoop in steal their guns

[old steel]

There was massive flooding in Calgary, Alberta and surrounding area starting the 20th of June. High River, a city of 13,000 was overrun by the Highwood river so government officials and RCMP ordered the entire city to evacuate.

Most left but a few holdouts remained and saved most or all of their property from the floods. Everywhere else the waters claimed everything from vehicles to homes including personal property. People have been frantic to get back to their property to try and save whatever they can but are turned back at cities edge by the Police and army.

Yesterday it was revealed that the RCMP along with army backup have entered into locked privately owned homes and taken the firearms belonging to the people who lived there. They didn't go door to door as not every residence was occupied by firearms owners so how did they know where to go when the prime minister Stephen Harper scrapped the long gun registry over a year ago and supposedly had all records of ownership destroyed? Obviously the RCMP still have access to these records or they wouldn't know where to go to pickup the guns.

Cops said they were afraid of looters even though the city was on lockdown so they go do the looting of everyone's guns. Why just guns? Why not grab computers see if someone is downloading CP? Did they go through moms lingerie drawer looking for pistols too? Stop in the kitchen and make a sandwich on the way out? Forced entry is a crime, so is stealing but it's ok for the cops and army to do it.

Now they say people will be able to come to the station and reclaim their guns as long as they provide proof of ownership. How are you supposed to do that when all your paper trail records have been destroyed by the flood cause you were kicked out of your home before you could save anything? Guess there was a near riot outside the city yesterday when people found out. Too bad it didn't.

Living in Alberta this story disgusts me. Redford the bilderburg scum is defending this.

Only good thing is the comments in the linked article mostly against this and the NWO was mentioned several times and received no ridicule.

[LastResort]

I get a good laugh every time I hear that some peoples backup plans for a SHTF scenario is to "escape" to Canada...LOL

We're just as fucked here as our brother and sisters from the south.

Prime example of what registration means. Confiscation......

If their names are on the gun registry, couldn't a simple ID card or driver's license prove ownership?

Either way, this a good argument against gun registration.

By the looks of those comments though the tide is turning. 90% are disgusted with this behavior. Talk of NWO and agenda 21. Who would have thought you would hear about this stuff on the mainstream media website a few years ago and everyone is in agreement.

some of the comments....

-Welcome to the new world order. I am seriously so nauseated from this story I can't sleep.

-Welcome to the Brave New World/1984 all rolled into Nanny Redfraud & her Nazi stormtroopers and their vision of how Alberta should be! We should all be very afraid!

-If I were a displaced resident of High River, I'd grab the nearest sewage sludge and baptist the Premier in the product of her own governance. It would only serve to enhance her beauty.

-What else would we expect from a UN Lawyer? Have you seen Brian Lilley's Blog on Agenda 21?

-I'd never heard of Agenda 21 before. Thanks for mentioning it. I did a small bit of research into it, namely a posting on treehugger.com. Based solely on that article, it appears that Agenda 21 explains so much of what ills our province and municipalities. From unwanted and unneeded thrust for bike lanes to urban densification regardless of consumer market demand to this petulant police state in High River.

It seems treehugger unwittingly provides the best advice: A smart person knows that "if David Suzuki [or REDFraud, or Nenshites] is for it, then he better be against it".

-IF YOU WON'T COME OUT WE WILL SHOOT YOU! '' IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

-Looters? How do they gain access if the residents can't? Or are the 300 people that have been there all week suddenly going to develop "Mad Looter Disease"?

Take your head out of Redfraud's a$$.....

Not all guns in Canada are registered. The law was recently changed. Most rifles are no longer required to be registered and you can buy and sell without paperwork as long as you have a license.

Many people did just that so they would have guns off the books.

Now these jack boots go in and steal peoples guns when they aren't even home to put up a fight and if you don't have "paperwork" too bad.

Totally illegal search and seizure according to these lawyers. Perhaps a lawsuit is in order.

When you register something. You make it easier for THE REAL OWNERS to pick it up when they are ready

Remember that.

[gunDriller]

actions like this force people to improvise.

a potato gun is quite effective for self-defense, if the potato is travelling at 500 miles per hour.

Register, the latin root of the word is King. So when you register anything you are asking permission from the King to basically borrow said item being registered.

The King(gov) owns the item, not you..

the Linguistics is interesting, fascinating even.


generally, people can't steal what they don't know is there.

if all they see is a poor person with a broken down car ... that has advantages, security-wise.

so keep your Ferrari well-hidden ... under a tarp, maybe.

The law in Canada requires all guns to be stored in a locked gun safe or cabinet. Are you saying that the police pried open the cabinets and safes to get to the guns? I know some people including my brother from that area and all of them own guns. That's a fairly redneck area of a red neck province... and I mean that in a good way.

Actually a non restricted firearm can be stored outside of a safe as long as it has a trigger lock on it or the bolt is removed.

What i am hearing is most safes due to their weight are stored downstairs on a concrete floor. Residents naturally know in a flood type situation the basement will fill first so guns were removed from their basement safes and placed upstairs in bedroom where they were least likely to be damaged by rising waters.

It's just common horse sense.

Some video at this link but looks like video is a couple days old. Flood damage in some areas looks severe.

Looking at the CBC video it looks like the police entered peoples homes even while the town was still flooded. Yeah, like looters are going to be wading through town looting in a town swarming with police.

The cover story that they were taking guns in plain sight for public safety isn't going to fly.

I was listening this morning to a father who's son lives in High River and his guns were in cases put away. The cases had been opened and the guns were missing. The only looters were the RCMP. Next time the people should throw their guns in the trunk and take them with them. That is unless, they (RCMP) search your vehicle for gun smuggling. Btw, hiring/employing locksmiths to break into secure houses is a little too much and hard to explain to people that have even a modicum of common sense........
