Without the LGR how will they be able to find the owners?

Some people are saying that the RCMP has actually kept the data, with allegations that the High River Gun Grab was based on that information.

Where do you come up with this absolute bullshit?

Oh, well, if Solomon Friedman said it, it must be true...

He doesn't have an agenda at all..

... you mean aside from all the numerous government statements, news articles, television pieces, and even court cases regarding the destruction of the data, and the confirmation of such?

Hardly any coverage at all, what when compared to an iron clad source such as a Youtube video and a guest spot on an Sun News opinion segment.

"Firearms advocate and lawyer who makes his living from firearms related issues seeks continued publicity, and makes reactionary claims about firearms on television network notorious for hosting reactionary claims! Film at 11"

I'm surprised you didn't have time to find it yourself, but you were probably busy refreshing 4chan looking for more gifs.

Here you go

Take as much time as you like.

I'm not exactly sure what your end game is:

You're demonstrably wrong, and yet all you do is post gifs and go with personal attacks.

I'm confused: What are you trying to achieve by being a jackass?

Except for the fact that the LGR isn't completely dead which has been shown to be the case with Quebec and their desperate attempt to keep that information alive. November 21st seems to be the last date mentioned and no information seems to come out with regards to if the data will be expunged or not.

Also, it's pretty hilarious that I always seem to be the jackass but not the people who accuse me of such things. Funny world we live in huh?

I think I saw some articles from June 27, 2013...

Quebec fought to not destroy the data, and they lost the court case if I recall.

Also, it's pretty hilarious that I always seem to be the jackass but not the people who accuse me of such things.

Are you carrying on in the same way when that happens?

Because 'if the shoe fits', as they say:

You're calling people names, going with personal attacks rather than addressing any actual topic, and posting GIFs from the 4chan / Digg 'Hall of Fame Reposts' list instead of, you know - replying.

It's outright immaturity at best, but I think if you have a look back at you'll see some shades of jackass as well.

Just isn't necessary. People are allowed to disagree about things.

Meandering back to the original item - All I'm saying is that Friedman shouldn't exactly taken as gospel. The guy makes his living on advocacy and firearms law, and he has a bit of a vested interest, and him going on Sun News and claiming something doesn't make it the truth.

You do realize that people having an opinion that differs from yours isn't trolling, but what you are doing in this thread is, right?

u/Jobbo_Fett Surplus Lover Feb 27 '14

You do realize that AdiposeFin has said some of the dumbest things ever recorded on this sub-reddit and is subject to comparison with trolling, right?

Christ on a crutch... you're trying to cite Sun Media.
Done. Ignored. Goodbye.
