Canadian Parliament in lockdown, and a soldier has been shot at the War Memorial, in Ottowa.

Info is very sketchy; this happened just before 10.00 local time..

That's true. Examples are the military base shootings after they stopped allowing the troops to carry, the movie theater, the school shootings, etc. Luckily the Oklahoma beheader was stopped before he cut another innocent victim's head off, by someone who had a gun.
 
YES..... we definately needed a dark movie theatre of armed people not knowing what was happening, shooting wildly at random.. WHATEVER could have gone wrong?
 
You can't "fix" stupid, but for people that have experience with firearms the 'wild shooting at random' in a darkened movie theatre wouldn't be an issue.

So... it is a given that everyone in that theater that could have carried a gun would be experienced and able to stay calm and evaluate the situation and know where to shoot? That all the armed people have hit the target... and no innocent people would have been shot.. Alrighty then.................

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
 
Too early to analyze incomplete information other than offer best wishes to wounded and family of those involved.

I will say sometimes it best to pay close attention to the early reports because the talking heads on tv give a lot of raw unedited and unspun information. Tuck away what you hear now in the begining away for future use. Many pieces of the puzzle are being given out now.

Peace
 
I just don't understand what some folks are thinking about this gun thing. I don't know about other countries, but anyone can manage to get a gun, license or no license. So that means every crook can have his very own gun. So, we ban guns in American. What part of "that still leaves the bad guys with their guns" do people not understand. Only the law-abiding are going to give up their guns. Or the desperate folks that break the law in hopes of saving their family, or themselves.

No, that would be several jumps to several very weak conclusions, I would say. But, people who DO know how to handle firearms are less likely to cause the "wild shooting" in the dark movie theater scenario.
 
funny RT3, I was driving through a neighborhood just a couple days ago and saw one of those signs "drug free zone". I thought, ok, but if I were a drug dealer or druggie, how would that stop me? Your post makes good sense as well;)
