ACQUITTAL! IAN THOMPSON IS ACQUITTED ON ALL CHARGES: Ian Thomson was jolted awake at 6:37 a.m. by the sound of explosions; outside his secluded farmhouse, three masked men were hurling fire bombs at his house while one bellowed: “Are you ready to die?” Mr. Thomson was not.
A former firearms instructor, he called out a warning, took one of his pistols, marched outside in his underwear and fired one shot into the ground and two into the trees in the direction of the men, who scurried away. He then called 911 and waited more than 10 minutes for police while using a garden hose to douse flames lapping up his front veranda. The officers did not bring him either help nor salvation. Mr. Thomson was soon arrested and charged with four gun offenses.
Mr Thompson obtained the services of noted firearms attorney, Edward Burlew L.L.B and on January 3rd, Mr Thompson finished his time in court. Justice Colvin rendered his 45 minute decision with an acquittal on all charges.
Congratulations to Mr. Thompson and Ed Burlew L.L.B. This case is extremely significant and Mr. Thompson's victory is a victory for common sense and freedom for all Canadians.Une autre excellente Nouvelle .
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/s ... hools.htmlThe wrath of the anti-gun lobby is crashing down in the United States, and as we all know, its effects may be much in evidence on our side of the border, too. Responsible gun owners in Canada are already being unfairly demonized across the board from media talk-shows to private family gatherings. The anti’s are feeling their oats in the wake of the Newtown tragedy, and their quarry – however nonsensical – is us.
The knee-jerk nanny-statists demand the government keep them safe. In the case of firearms abuse, logic be damned. The outcry for redundant legislation has never been louder. No responsible gun owner wants to see firearms in the hands of criminals or the mentally ill, and most tolerate appropriate laws that purport to screen out those who appear destined to create havoc with guns.
Defending our children is the mandate of a responsible society and their defence must be allowed. Eradicating mass shootings
cannot be achieved by writing laws that attempt to put the toothpaste back into the tube. All of the stock solutions put forward by the anti-firearms zealots have miserably failed. We have always contended that gun control is the only social policy where its total failure prompts an outcry for more of the same.
The solution we all seek to end violence against our children is outside this box.
