Lock Down!

Just this week, both my boys had lockdown practices in their schools. I made sure they watched some of the coverage on the Toronto school shooting.

I explained that the safest place is a school, but sometimes the bad guys know that, and that's why lockdowns need to be taken seriously. My 11 year old, summed it up pretty well, he said, "why would anyone even have a gun?"

Good point, the billion dollar gun registry is clearly a waste, if grade 9 kids can get a gun. So, can we please stop the waste, and start putting the money towards more border security?

How about checking those close to the border reservations?

Canadian police seized almost 40 deadly weapons, including an AK-47, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash late last week in what police are calling the biggest gang raid ever in the country. The raid took place on an Indian reservation outside of Toronto, only a few hours from the U.S. border.

Oops, bet it's not politically correct to even suggest that our leaky borders and illegal guns might be because of some groups like aboriginals. Or how about the Hell's Angels?

Could a few more raids like this one today, help stop our leaking borders?

More than 370 police officers carried out a series of drug raids in Quebec and New Brunswick Wednesday in a crackdown on the export of marijuana to the United States.

Drugs, gangs, and guns, sound familar? Maybe now the opposition will start passing some of the government's law and order bills presently sitting stalled in committees and the Senate, or is that too much to ask?
