And Best of All, WE Come to YOU

The British Columbia government has launched a month-long campaign to get gun owners to turn in any unwanted weapons without fear of prosecution...

Solicitor General John Les cautions gun owners not to take their weapons to their local police station.

"No, absolutely not. If you show up at the police station with a gun, probably some unpleasant things will happen."

He said people who want to turn in guns should call police, who will come and pick them up.
"Unpleasant things"?

Well, yeah, after all, the police are the only ones who should be armed in public without provoking a violent response.

So much for the "new" government.

I wonder--if they come to your door to provide this "service," are they expecting a tip, and would it be about what you'd give the pizza guy?

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't "take a look around" while they are picking up the gun to see if there is anything else they want to know about you, such as if you may have more firearms.
