There is an interesting ABC News article from 2012 here:
US urged to consider Australia’s gun laws example
It’s insane.
]]>The Sergeant-at-arms is a former RCMP officer who has worked as bodyguard for politicians since leaving the Mounties. There was an incident in the Parliament a while back with the attacker having two submachine guns that resulted in a lot of deaths and injuries, so that is probably why they hired a professional, rather than a political flunky.
You can buy hunting weapons in Canada without a lot of hassle, but they don’t go in for all of the worthless toys they sell in the US.
The shooter was apparently a crack addict among other problems, and that doesn’t do anything good for your mental health.
