[QUOTE]An Ontario Provincial Police officer was wounded Monday in a shootout near Seaforth, Ont., north of London.
Sgt. Pierre Chamberland, a spokesman for provincial police headquarters in Orillia, Ont., said the officer, who is from the Huron County detachment, was airlifted to hospital and was in grave condition.
There were no immediate details about the age of the male officer involved.
Reports suggested the officer exchanged 15 to 20 shots shortly after 10 a.m. with an unidentified person, who was also flown to a medical centre.
Faith Weber, a resident of Brussels, Ont., was a witness to the shooting. She told radio station CKNX that the officer and a suspect fired at each other across a road.
"The guy [was] laying in the ditch and the police officer was on the other side of the road in the ditch but he was standing up and they were both shooting back and forth at each other," she said. "When I was there, there was probably about five, six shots that already went off, and then we had to move back farther and then there was more shots going off."
She said the gunfire ended after more police officers arrived at the scene[/QUOTE]
OTHER NEWS CONCERNING HIM!!!
[QUOTE]An Ontario Provincial Police officer has died after a Monday morning shootout with an elderly man near Seaforth, Ont., north of London.
Const. Vu Pham, 37, a father of three, died of his injuries in hospital, police said in a news release Monday afternoon. There were unconfirmed reports that he suffered a head injury.
"I am deeply saddened by the loss of this young brave officer, who was committed to protecting the citizens of Ontario," OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino said.
Pham's wife, Heather, and three sons were with him when he died, Fantino said at a news conference. Fantino hailed Pham as "one of our heroes."
Born in Vietnam, Pham was a 15-year member of the OPP, working out of the Bruce County detachment. He had also served in the Cochrane and West Parry Sound detachments.
Police were called at 10:18 a.m. ET to the North Line in Huron County, Fantino said. The officer attempted to stop a vehicle, and in doing so was confronted by an armed man.
OPP officers located a suspect shortly after Pham was shot.
"The suspect was also shot in the incident and he too is presently in hospital," said Fantino, who added that the man is about 70 years old.
No other police officers were injured.[/QUOTE]

This British gun ban is so stupid. I mean think back to the first time you ever heard of the British gun ban. The constantly changing fashionable take on the gun ban demonstrates the depth of the subject. Politics, we all agree, is a fact of life. Comparing current political thought with that held just ten years ago is like comparing the two, equally popular approaches to the gun ban. If the reader is unaware of these, they need only to turn on the television, or pick up a newspaper or popular magazine.
Wanting to restrict the use of something that is dangerous to not only yourself but others as well is stupid?

I believe that's the joke.
He's portraying somebody who would come into the thread, not read the OP, and simply rant about how gun control is stupid, despite the fact that he doesn't even know what country it's in.
Edit:
Fun fact: London, Ontario wasn't called Berlin ever.
Double edit:
Gimme some cardboard.
