Search and seizure has begun...RED ALERT

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

(1) Sean -- How can I hide all the ..er.. leather goods, when you haven't returned them to me yet?! (BTW, did you buy your own set as you told me you were going to after you tried mine?)

(2) The trouble with the whole set-up of this firearms law is that the constitution itself was deliberately written as to be vague (in all respects), in order to force recourse through the courts, right up to and including the Supreme Court. The government of the time (rightly) concluded that few individuals (or even smaller organisations) would ever be financially able to take it that far, and were at the same time prepared to fund legions of government lawyers to fight them every step of the way.

And of course, the final decision rested (as Jon explained) with the Liberal-appointed Supreme Court. Game, set & match.
