“More commonly known as a silencer”.

And that’s the reason why our highly educated law makers write our firearms laws based on Hollywood movies.

If anyone actually thinks you can shoot a suppressed weapon in public and no one can hear it you’re insane.

The John Wick: Chapter 2 subway scene did our community dirty lol.

It's so ironic because if anything, having a suppressor is doing your neighbours a favour (for people shooting on their own/crown land at least)

I've heard theres jurisdictions (mostly in Europe I believe) where having a suppressor is actually legally REQUIRED or at least encouraged to prevent noise pollution, like how vehicles generally require mufflers.

Some guy tried to sell my brother at his friend a silencer at a Burger King when my bro was in uni

something tells me he’s probably done some other shady shit.

He bought the wish “inline oil filter”

Suppressors should be legal and encouraged. Not defending this guy, just saying.

Crown prosecutor just knows what proper PPE is

Just looking at the headline I thought this was a Beaverton article until I saw CBC.ca...

Bro had an ounce of mush on him too, be a fuckin’ legend if he wasn’t a hypocrite loser perpetuating a flawed system based on fear and ignorance… “Rules for thee” I guess

I'd like to see the old Chinese saying come true here, "to those who knows/works the law then proceeds to break it, their punishment shall be a degree higher"

What I find the funniest about this is it shows off the two tier justice system as plain as day.

If you are working in the justice system and they have you cold on weapons charges they wait to press charges.

But if you are common person and someone breaks into your house and you have a weapon you are getting charged instantly.

Chances are nothing happens to this guy at most a slap on the wrist.

They also random check packages from Temu/aliexpress

u/waitwhatnothing Mar 12 '26

They probably are familiar with some of the other terms the sellers use, like solvent trap or whatever.

At least the insane logic used by poly/libs has a foundation.

I’m just going to drink something radioactive so I can be a superhero…because the Canadian government endorses Hollywood movies as real life science 🤦🏻‍♂️

In some provinces it is.

It’s saying 3 of the magazines seized were classified as prohibited devices, not the body armour.

u/masterboatman Mar 07 '26

That’s 2 separate points. The prohibited devices are unpinned magazines. “According to the affidavit, police seized nine firearms, along with 23 magazines — including three classified as prohibited devices.”

And

“Body armour, brass knuckles, knives, and 35 grams of the hallucinogen Psilocybin were also seized by the RCMP.” Body armour isn’t prohibited, you don’t need to have a PAL or anything to buy it in NL.

u/AssignmentPutrid3197 Mar 07 '26

I think you are reading it wrong. Its implying he had 3 over capacity magazines.

Why did YOU delete your own post

What the fuck is going on

Where am I?

Who am I

Who is this strange woman feeding me supper

Well since you asked, I had to put my cat down, so no.

I'll get over it.

He was such a gentle little piggy

My sympathies.  Never easy to have to do the right thing to end their suffering at our emotional expense. Hang in there. Maybe, when the time is right, you will find another one in need of help and  mutual love and companionship.

u/IGnuGnat Mar 07 '26

Because of the pandemic we spent more time with him than previous cats. The more time we spent, the more his intelligence and personality seemed to evolve. He was a magical little lion and so gentle hearted, I've never known a kitty quite like him

u/Reasonable_Hall2346 Mar 07 '26

Sorry for you loss.

u/IGnuGnat Mar 07 '26

Thank you

u/Foreign_Active_7991 Mar 07 '26

That's tough, my condolences. Buddy just had to make the same tough call with his dog this week, was helping him grieve last night. Doesn't matter how many times we've done it, it hurts the same each time; that's the price we pay for their love.

Supper and dinner are the same thing.

Lunch is lunch; brunch is brunch and breakfast is breakfast.

Any other interpretation is clearly illegal

My elderly relatives in AB call the mid day meal dinner and the evening meal supper.

Not when you work for the machine and actively participate in oppressing everyone else, this guys was a prosecutor so it's a safe bet he would have "done his job" and prosecuted any other citizen who was caught doing what he did.
