CBC inaccuracies

This morning, Terry Milewski and the CBC reported that the first of the ‘Toronto Terrorists’ was being brought to trial.

The report said “Their weapons were more sophisticated than their politics” (they had wanted to kill the former Prime Minister of Canada, not knowing there had been an election).

The CBC’s proof that these are dangerous people? They had hollow-point bullets. Illegal ones! What the CBC called ‘Cop-killers!’, in fact.

Not only are hollow point bullets sold at Canadian Tire (and every corner store in Buffalo, I’m sure), they’re also, if I recall correctly, required for hunting. By law. They kill more humanely. Hollow point bullets are only illegal under the Geneva convention, which covers war. They are not illegal to possess.

Oh, also, the ‘terrorists’ had a detonator with a 10m range–i.e. a piece of string.

I heard a program once about how the media need to go to a shooting range. This is only further proof– The Toronto Sun recently ran a piece on the new handgun that shoots shotgun shells and how cops fear its introduction into Canada. It shoots .410s, a very small calibre of shotgun shell, I found out. .410s are enough to give you nasty acne, and not much more.
