A Canadian man has been charged with attempted murder for defending himself against a home intruder.
Kyle Earl Munroe was arrested on July 12 after RCMP and Halifax Regional Police responded to a report of a home invasion involving firearms at a home in Porters Lake. Munroe successfully seized a firearm from one of the suspects and several shots were fired as the suspects fled resulting in the criminal charge.

Dan Dicks of Press For Truth shows just how twisted Canadian gun laws have become while calling for the need of a Canadian equivalent to the Americans second amendment.

Being a Canadian myself this shocks me to my core. It doesn't surprise me though. I would get a gun tomorrow if I knew I could use to to defend myself against home intruders and I mean this. I have my firearm permit. And I'm vegan so it's not like I'm a nutcase who love violence on the contrary.
I'd love to see you mention Steemit at the end of your video like you do for your Patreon. I know sooner or later everyone will all end up on Steemit but I can wait to see everyone join.
Take care Dan!
How about all the people involved in charging this guy be put on public trial to defend their actions ?
Freaking retards
Thanks Dan
I agree with you 100 percent
This is what happens when the feds are given too much power and they are out of control. So much damage is what they have on their minds. Thanks for sharing this post.
Ah yes Canada one of the best countries in the world to live in. Yes its one of the best if your are a thief who wants to steal from someones home and you know that the person you are trying to steal will offer no resistance in fear of getting in trouble for self defence.
Upvoted. Everyone should have the right to defend themselves.
Have you ever noticed that those that make laws that removes power from everyday people, they themselves somehow hold themselves above accountability for their actions
Read the preamble to the Canadian constitution,bill of rights 1982/83. "Limited only as can be...."
The supreme court of Canada has found time and time again that canadians have no rights at all, including the right to legal council and personal property rights for example.
Essentially the constitution is written to protect the government from the people. The polar opposite of what it should be.
I hate to be a buzz kill, but a U.S. style second amendment is out of the question and will never happen.
I'd also suggest everyone seek out a documentary on youtube called "Broken Trust: Gun Grab at High River"
The rcpm are so far out of control that it will never be regained. They literally, through regulatory authority/abuse, make/create canadian law on the fly, essentially nullifying parliament and the will of the people. And yes, the supreme court has upheld their ability to do so...
Canadians have failed to realize one inevitable truth. Once you give government control over something, the people will never get it back...
Myth: People in Canada do not lock their doors.
I visit Canada at least twice a year (Family), and everyone I know in Canada have at least 2 locks on their door and yes they lock them!
15 years ago It wasn't this bad

we live in an upside down world of mirrors, where good is bad, truth are lies and right is wrong !! Insanity has taken over the asylum as we hand over the world to criminals who have more rights than their innocent victims !! good post @pressfortruth )
This bothered me deeply.
Dan, please consider linking to your sources. If you did elsewhere, like YouTube, good for you, but I avoid going there (you and everyone else should too).
I gather this is the source you used:

This is the current bill regarding self defence in Canada, with discussion: http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/rsddp-rlddp/p5.html
I would agree with your summation if Munroe doesn't get cleared OR there is more to the story that changes the tone of "self defence".
@skip31
Thanks for the "current bill" link. I'm about halfway through it. A good read but there is one issue here.
There is no enforcement mechanism available. Not to enforce the law upon the people, but upon law-enforcement and the legal system.
The supreme court has been very clear, your rights are subject to suspension at the will and whim of law-enforcement.
In other words, you have no right of self defence to begin with, so any criteria regarding enforcement of self-defense regulation created by parliament are nothing more than polite suggestions to be used in specific circumstances such as a police officer dealing with a family member or friend whom they wish to protect from the laws they would otherwise be using to garner a conviction.
The simple truth is, when regulatory authority was granted to law enforcement, policy became law. A mistake that is irreversible...
The Canadian Charter of Rights is still a very powerful document. The sad reality is that it is a forgotten document that will slowly fade away with time. It is just that in this day and age, especially with the supreme law of the land never mentioned or taught in school nobody will never know about it. Today's society when told about 'how things are' just blindly accept it as fact instead of doing a little research and empowering themselves with the knowledge. I could tell you my story as to what happened to me recently, but needless to say, it took a charter challenge to finally have the charges against me 'stayed'
because the crown's argument for the charges against me could not stand up. I truly feel for what this man is going to have to go through before things are all said and done. It will be an emotional roller-coaster of a ride and a charter challenge for this man to avoid jail. There is a reason it is called a legal society, you just don't have a say in it. If you don't know the laws and more importantly, just accepting the 'interpretation' as it is given without questioning anything is a slippery slope the general population seems to be heading down.

Thank you so much for your response. I'm glad it worked out for you
then it would be a great idea to do a home invasion on a political leader in Canada. not only do they have everything they stole from u and ur people but they would be impeached when thrown in prison they thought they were building to house u in
Unbelievably sad. UGH
Gun laws are terrible in Canada. Might as well not even own one
thats exactly the attitude that gets countries taken over.
Wow! That is unbelievable! Thanks for the perspective. Just when I finish complaining about the freedoms that we seem to be losing here in the US.
@sminchow don't let the 2nd ammendment be lost. If it does, it's game over.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. At that point, it will be too late to try to migrate, so you've got to anticipate the best you can. That idiocy seems to be on hold - for now.

And when you have trouble with street gangs or organised crime here in Quebec, the police laugh in your face when need them.
Special props to l'agent Morin
Insane laws; protect your life/property = go to jail, now that's legitimate reason to RESIST!
Wow i've seen this happen so many times in so many places like wtf a guy comes in your place and you don't even have the right to defend yourself... i mean i understand that you cannot kill the person but why blame someone who just protected his life or other's from a person that was obviously going to do something bad
No surprise here.
This has nothing to do with the second amendment. he wrestled the gun away from the intruder. These are only pending charges, I expect the right thing will be done here.
US can hate all it wants, but the stats don't lie. Crappy gun laws and lack of gun regulations kill people. Nobody here in Canada wants our own 'second amendment'.
LOL speak for yourself. You don't understand that they are for tyranny from government,right? The only reason the USA is not already taken over is the 2nd amendment. You must be young and brainwashed.
Spot on! @lost.identity
That is precisely the point, @lost.identity! The home invasion stuff is the diversion. Evil men can get some guns and kill 50 people. Evil men that can manage to gain power in a government can kill 50 million - and guns in the hands of the people is the main obstacle to that.
Taken over by whom? You guys are stuck back in the revolution.
And if you mean another country.. well you guys have over 8000 nuclear bombs. Who the *&^&^ needs 8000 nukes. Huge waste of money. If you cut your annual nuclear spending by 20% you could probably solve world hunger.
If evil men gained control of your government and wanted to kill 50 million, they wouldnt be using guns. They would be using your nuclear weapons.
Look at these stats. You have the highest homicide rate on the planet and the highest gun violence rates on the planet. You have the most mass shootings. You have the most kids getting a hold of their dads gun and hurting or killing themselves.
@reedus We don't?
Great wok Dan
We have quite a few fools here in the U. S. Who want to dismantle the Second Amendment. Only a complete fool would choose edict over education and leave their personal safety totally up to someone else. Once you piss away your rights, you will never have the power to get them back.
Sad as this may sound, maybe these stories will alert others that this is a problem that needs to be addressed and now. If the only groups that have guns are the governments and the criminals (and some would argue that they are one in the same) then we do have a problem.
This is severely messed up. Canada is a land of male feminists and commies now, thanks to Trudeau.
I'd have shot the police trying to arrest me, too.
Growing up I viewed the police as heros that put their lives on the line to keep Canadians safe. Unfortunetly most of them behave like domestic terrorists and don't care about the people that they swore an oath to serve and protect. It's time for some ethical police to start leaking training procedures to the public.
Welcome to liberalism 101 - making sure if the thugs don't get you, the government does for not letting the thugs get you.
Hey @pressfortruth , would love to offer to come onto my podcast sometime.
It is about people doing remarkable things, whether entrepreneurs or not.
Where we talk about what you are doing, believe in and what difference you are making in the world.
It is part youtube channel where the mission is to help 1,000,000 entrepreneurs become remarkable, and the podcast acts as a way to share stories and connect with people.
Here is the playlist of the existing episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5CpCNPna6p95oJfKPew0N3ZT0k-khdgg
It is audio only over skype. Would love you to come on the show and talk about yourself. Does this sound of interest to you?
Makes me sick
Thanks Dan, I have always wondered about what I would do if someone broke in and I knew that I could get into trouble somehow. What would happen if I were to stab or severely injure an intruder? I understand that they want to discourage violence but there is a line that needs to be drawn at ones family and home. I guess this is where "excessive force? comes into play, in your only defence.
