10. The handguns are a real problem. Licensing requirements for everything else....

or lack there of may also get them in big trouble. The magazines are another big, big problem. Semi Auto rifles are limited to 5 rounds. Those in the picture are well over the limit. In short, some folks got a whole lot a splaning to do.

6. In this country, that would be an embarrassing haul from the bad guys. They have that

much in their lockers at work. If all the weapons from January 6 had been confiscated, they would probably fill a semi.

8. I don't know what Canadian laws they broke with concealed weapons

in their trucks? I know here in the states many companies frown on employees carrying firearms onto company property. Or crossing state lines where gun laws are more stricter.

12. "many companies frown on"

Yes, that's about all they do is "frown on it" or have some mealy-assed rules about having firearms on company property. I live in the northern Detroit suburbs, and I can't begin to tell you how many of those assholes work at the so-called "Big Three" auto companies and have weapons and ammunition in their vehicles on company property. The only time they ever got strict with their gun policy was right after 9/11. I know of one guy who sold his personally reloaded ammo out of his van to other gun nutters who worked there.

They want a gun fight. They need a gun fight. But when things do get sporty, most will piss their pants and run away. I know the type well.

14. In my opinion, this shows that 'incels' are not just hiding in their mother's basement.

I have yet to meet one that did not secretly fancy himself as a ninja or some other warrior, solely based on their ability with a first person shooter. I have also yet to meet one who was actually anything more than a whiny sadsack who is so pathetic that they won't go out in public unless there are several of them. Then, they are asshats of the highest order, insulting women and showing off to other incels. Sure, some of those 'truckers' have wives and families, but I recall Hollywood and all the 'straight' leading men who turned out to be as queer as a three dollar bill, yet had 'wives' and in some cases 'families'. I do admit a bit of grief over the fact that more 'aid' came from this country than their own. Which should be a rallying call for any American who is disgusted at this blatant dick waving being done by these Americans... the same ones who would be screaming bloody murder should someone outside of the country fund someone or something internal they did not like.

15. It's one thing to shoot at something and a whole different ballgame

when that something shoots back. Not anything one with even a modicum of common sense wants to experience.

It should put an end to the “peaceful protest” and legitimate political discussion nonsense, but we all know it won’t.

On the plus side, maybe even the current Supreme Court will draw the line on weapons of mass destruction.
