News / Politics / Activism Garbage Journalism

Post image

Sent a message and considering emailing the journalist personally. Read the title, read the article, look at the photo. This is the kind of garbage journalism that leaves uninformed Canadians supporting Gun Grab policies. Its not just the CBC.

I don't blame the journalist. This idiot makes the rest of us law abiding gun owners look bad.

He was driving erratically and pulled over for suspected imparement. Had the loaded magazine in his pocket, and a box of ammo next to the driver's seat. The article doesn't say where the gun was, but it's a minivan so it wasn't locked in the trunk. Most reasonable people would at least have a trigger lock or a case if they're transporting. If my TM22 gets banned it's going to be because of guys like this.

All you did was recite the facts of legal transportation. This is a very normal way to transport a gun if you are going hunting or to shoot a nuisance small animal.
