Regarding stolen guns in Alberta.
Does anyone realize or even care that most of those guns that the press purports to have been stolen are paintball guns? I've lost count on how many press releases that I am able to pause and reverse (thanks Gods of PVR) and count the number of actual fire arms to paintball guns. So far paintball gun confiscations out number real fire arms about 30 to one.
I wish that the lives lost to illegal recreational drugs would out sensationalize these recreational "firearms". But. alas, "firearms" even those flintlock pistols (that are nearly impossible to fire 2 or three times in a row without renapping or having to adjust the flint) are considered more of a threat than recreational drugs.
The press is kinda like a politician. They have to sensationalize in order to stay current.
Cheers....
