...and Hope They Don't Have Guns.

Canadian sheeple:

"We live in a different time and weapons are not something that we need to have out on the streets," the RCMP spokesman said Wednesday.

"We have to try and ensure that the public is kept safe. People who live in homes where there are weapons around, this often causes a problem."

Where have I heard something similar? Oh, yes:

"Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA. Ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State." - Heinrich Himmler

As for the "rocket launcher," I've searched 13 related news articles, and not one of them gives any details other than "1960s vintage." Based upon that, I'd bet my eyeteeth that it's nothing but an expended M72 LAW. They're common as dirt, and most people who haven't fired one don't understand that it's a one-shot deal; after that, it's about as dangerous as a fiberglass tube--because that's exactly all that remains. In fact, you can walk into any Army surplus store and buy one; they're not controlled.

However, even if it were a bazooka or RPG launcher, it's still utterly useless. A rocket launcher without a rocket is nothing more than an expensive club. (Having fired a Czech-made RPG, I'd have to say you're probably better off just throwing the rockets away and going straight to the club option. Better yet, just hide in a ditch and hope they don't see you.)
