Bruce wins but still looses....

Ont judge has ruled that firearms ownership IS a right BUT, it is subject to restriction by legislation.

This means the judge "skirted" the issue and now Bruce must face his criminal trial. He has vowed to take his fight all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.

How ridiculous was this decision? goto Bruce's site and read the judges comments for yourself. There is no doubt this issue is a hot potato for any lower court judge who does not want to "rock the boat" so to speak. However, I find it very hard to swallow his ruling. He indicated that he agrees that firearms ownership in Canada is indeed a right but he refused to address the server restrictions on ownership and how it could relate to section 7 of the charter and the right to self defence.
