Maybe they were getting ready for 2012?!
Holy motherload!
We need to put these guys away for a long time....
No sympathy!!!!
I wonder if the guns were registered?
Kinda glad it was the RCMP and not the Israeli Army, and the stuff was destined for here in BC instead of Gaza. A world away, eh?
WTF ?

The Israeli army would have probably shot and killed the person, then taken international condemnation for killing a peace loving civilian.

On the flip side once dead, this person has a zero percent chance to recommit.

Unfortunately, the RCMP don't like to have to deal with bad press so they will not kill him, and the justice system is such a joke, that this person will be able to be committing crimes again shortly, and repeatedly, as there is not real deterrent or punishment in the system.

Wonder if we could contract the Israeli army to be our police?
or maybe Bin Laden for Minister of Justice.
You got it Vdesign...I think they should be shot on the spot..I am definately a believer of the death penalty! I have no sympathy for scum!
