LIVE NOW: Soldier shot, gunfight in parliament in Ottawa, Canada

Just saw CBC report all military bases in Canada are now on lock-down.
That would indicate they believe its terrorism or planned attack - not a random shooter or crime of passion.
Canada doesn't have problems with guns since they've come up with all of their neato gun laws.
Impossible. Canada has gun control.
I had thought the right to gun ownership had been severely restricted in Canada, with private ownership a virtual impossibility if you did not have a legacy authorization. Keep in mind, there is nothing like a “Second Amendment” right to keep and bear arms north of the border, and even those who have a legal right now could very well, and soon, have that stripped away.
How could a crazy person even gain access to guns when the trade in them is so severely restricted? Do the gun control laws not work in Canada? (Do I have to include the < /sarcasm > tag, still?)
If it is an Islamic attack, I believe the timing is a big mistake.
It will get the politicians to take a closer look at Islam and realize the mistakes they have made in accommodating it in their country.
The politicians will also realize they are not immune from the rage of Islam.
Nothing like getting your OX gored to get your full attention. Time will tell what this attack is all about. -Tom
