Uh oh...
And they're not supposed to have guns.

You beat me to it Octo.

Quote:Parliament in lockdown: Police open fire outside Westminster and shoot knife-wielding man amid reports of explosion and 'at least 12 pedestrians mowed down on bridge'

Four-wheel drive car said to have driven over Westminster Bridge knocking down pedestrians this afternoon
Knifeman then got into the grounds of Parliament where he reportedly stabbed a police officer
The 'middle-aged' attacker was then shot by armed officers as the area was cleared by emergency services
Parliament was suspended and the Prime Minister was rushed from the scene in an unmarked police car

Key word is "asian".... And about people not supposed to have guns, I've read that most of civilian shootings anywhere happen in places where people aren't supposed to have guns in the first place. It's a lot safer for bad people to do attacks when knowing most other people will not have the possibility to shoot back. I'd recall reading that the latest shootings in france have been done with weapons smuggled from some african countries.

Yup, gun control works better in theory than reality.
I know it sounds redneck but the truth is if everyone was packing, events like this would go on far less than at present.
