I'm not a Canadian so my opinion might not mean much but...under *those* circumstances it might have been reasonable for the police to take temporary custody of the firearms because of the danger of looting.If the owners were to go to the police station,show proper ID and some proof of ownership one would think they'd be returned.I can see where the use of the word "seized" is a bit curious,however.
Right. Google New Orleans cops behavior during Katrina. They were taking custody of clothes and stuff at Walmart in uniform.
If you trust a cop with your gun then I don't trust you with a gun.
