The needless death of Nathan Cirillo is tragic, but the events of yesterday are not a tragedy. If anything they proved how competent our law enforcement personnel are in preventing any other casualties
I also think our firearm laws played a role...this assassin had a hunting rifle and would have had been able to inflict much more carnage if he had assault weaponry.

I always think the cops should have the biggest guns.
