Just ran into this little jewel on the local CBC site.Calgary Police purchase semi-automatic weapons. The comments are much more enlightening than the story itself. The best analogy I can think of is overhearing an audio or computer equipment salesperson "talk shop". Maybe this is the reason Jack went all gung-ho on law and order when talking in Edmonton earlier today.

Just a little something to add perspective:Tuesday's shooting echoed another in November last year in the town of Tuusula, which left eight people and the lone gunman dead. Both gunmen had valid licences. Although Finland said it would consider new laws after that attack, no changes have been made and 15-year-olds can still own guns. The country has a long tradition of hunting and weapons-bearing, with about 1.6 million firearms in private hands - third in the world behind only the US and Yemen, studies say.
