Canadian soldier, gunman killed as multiple shooters storm Ottawa capital complex

A Canadian soldier was shot dead and one suspect killed as multiple gunmen stormed the Canadian Parliament complex in Ottawa Wednesday morning, spraying as many as 30 shots inside the government building in a brazen assault that left the nation's capital on lockdown just two days after a terror attack in Quebec, officials said.

The shots rang out just before 10 a.m., when a guard at the National War Monument was fatally shot. The gunmen next ran into the Parliament Hill building, where one MP reported hearing as many as 30 shots fired and a sergeant at arms was later credited with shooting one of the gunmen dead. In the following moments and hours, Royal Canadian Mounted Police converged on the scene, more shots were fired less than a mile away near a mall and officials told Ottawa residents to barricade themselves in their homes as they searched for one or more possible gunmen.

I have seen many Canadians condemn the access to firearms in the US.

So would someone tell me what was used in this incident this morning?

Just like the strict gun controls in the UK jlf.
It doesn't mean they don't have any at all.
It just means that getting them is shitloads harder and you aren't allowed to brandish them in the street or other public places like you do in the US.

You do realize that Canadians have access to guns, it's just not the same rules as in the states which is why these sorts of incidences happen less frequently than in the states. These sorts of things happen anywhere that guns are, but the less access to guns the less likely people will shoot a place up. Why is that a difficult concept to grasp?

Unless it's a declared and explicitly signed as a "no gun zone", you pretty much can if you have a gun license.

Umm...not really.

Completely depends on where you are.

In many places, you cannot show your gun unless you are going to use it. Period. Will lose your license if you do sort of thing.

But then, of course, those who don't live in those places would know better....

And you can get a gun in the US, with or without any checks, easier than I can buy a pint at my local pub.
That was proven by a BBC reporter, a non-US citizen, who got one within an hour without any checks or ID.

Also: "Panorama reporter Hilary Andersson goes undercover at a gun show in Texas and finds that it is possible to buy an AR15 assault rifle without any background checks"

Not really. You can't "brandish" them in public. There is a huge difference between "open carrying" and "brandishing."

Brandish:

Open carrying isn't brandishing. If you're waving, shaking, or swinging your weapon aggressively, threateningly, menacingly, or in an excited manner, you risk public disturbance charges, at the very least.

I guess it does.
But to someone who lives in a country where guns just aren't readily available and most people have never seen a real gun in their lives, it does seem to be an awful lot of places where this sort of thing happens.
Hence the very high number of gun deaths in the US compared to anywhere else.

ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1

But because what few laws you do have are not enforced rigidly enough, how many are unlicensed?
Too many it would seem.

As I don't associate with people who carry illegal guns, I cannot comment on that issue. But, I know, for a fact, that people who carry legal guns in any place that I've ever lived, cannot simply walk around with it on their waistband in plain sight.

Ohio is one "Open Carry" State where you don't need a permit specifically to be allowed to openly carry. You do need a specific permit to legally "Concealed Carry," though. You won't find too many people open carrying because it's not a strategically smart thing to do.
