I dont care how the guns get in country or how people get their guns, its not for me to judge.
I am not saying anything bad about them, I find it unfair that you are passing judgement on me for a comment.

You stated "the rest of us are good guys" implying that said member isn't. Am I reading this wrong?

This is shitty news, I hope he beats the charges like Chris Brown beat Rihanna. <- thats my attempt to lighten the situation. I truly do hope that he beats the charges though. It sucks to read stuff like this.

yes you are, I was not implying anything about said member being a bad person.
My choice of words may have been poor. but I've met them and I've got no quarrel with them.

[T_A_N_K]

You can disregard the latter part of my previous statement then.

Since more than likely there will be legal proceedings from this, I ask that all speculations and assumptions whether you know to be fact or not to be kept to yourself. Also, no names please, I'm sure hes going through a though time as it is, no need to add gas to the fire.

It is not at all helpful to rage against the police and CBSA for enforcing the law.

There are police and CBSA members right here... who are active players in this community.

And Im sure those active members agree that the LAW is the issue not those enforcing it. And thus we can agree that its a waste of tax payers money to have to enforce this LAW.

Can we agree on that?

Let's all just sit back and wait for more factual information to become available before drawing any conclusions.

I know for a fact that smuggling carries criminal charges, I know 2 people personally that have had charges.

The transfer of guns is a different story, I have yet to hear of someone being charged with that, provided it was in a non-commercial setting

Let us wait for the man himself or someone closer to the source to speak up before assuming anything and panicing.

That's probably the best idea, speculation will only make the ASC soap opera worse.

Good luck scoob, hope it works out.

The last thing he should be doing is posting on a public forum. If he's obtained legal council they would have told him thus. Therefor your going to be waiting for quiet a while..

As for drawing conclusions I agree, all we know is that someone was charged with vague media definitions of "crimes" thusly no one should be making assumptions.

well all i can say is that i didnt post this to directly point out any member of the community as i dont now whoever the person is involved. it was more so to point out that we still need to be mindful of the rest of the population who are un informed about airsoft and this can be the end result. also i apologize if it is a member of this forum as i didnt intend to bring light to your situation in front of the community and cause more problems.

Edit *not directed at you* but a general question/comment

and posting speculation and opinions on a public forum is helping him out how?

Don't even get me started... I am a Licensed gun owner... So yeah... In my opinion the law is convoluted.. oppressive and in general stupid.

but it is none the less the law... currently

[pusangani]

Agreed, but waiting is better than speculating although not as fun I'd imagine.

The numbebr of bs theories and bogus facts that could come out of something like this is insane

Thus I recommend this thread should be locked until more legitimate information can be added, before this thing spreads like herpes.

[13Fido13]

Agreed. Lock it.

It's sad to see these problems come to light.

[Ronan]

I feel much safer now.
