re: #35 Dark_Falcon
Guys, the man in question was already under arrest and had been searched. Those cops were shot with a police gun. Even outlawing all private ownership of firearms would not have prevented this one. This is a case of an asshole who knew he was caught and found a way to go out in a hail of gunfire. No change in the law would have prevented it.
That aspect is true, it also goes to show that armed police are not a “surefire” solution to an armed assailant.
