Subject: RE: BS: Mounties find a huge weapons cache
open mike - I think the arrests were all made in Canada but that the weapons were smuggled in from the U.S.

This scenario has me thinking. If we were to target the arms trade (legal and illegal) we would not have so many terrorists or criminals. Seems to me that the ability to carry out assault with a deadly weapon would be severely curtailed.

Lets face it. Most weapons (including bombs and missles) are bought and sold. Arms dealers are making huge sums of money from the misery of others. Why isn't this market scrutinized more closely?

Hats off to the RCMP for busting these people. For once, it seems, they have their priorities straight. I would much rather see my tax dollars going to end this type of crime than busting "mom and pop grow-ops" or arresting people for the medical use of marijuana.
