Some officers had never even fired a gun before.

Pretty sad state of affairs there.

I was thinking the same thing! I bet if you add up all the rifles from just a small portion of the members on this board, you'd definitely have more than 577.

Shameful. Ghandi's tactics worked against the Brits, but they were civilized, unlike India's current enemy.

India just won their first individual gold medal ever, in shooting! Now the champion happens to be the son of a multi-millionaire who has a pistol range in his basement. But you'd think with his national hero status you'd have more Indians, especially police, wanting to get in some trigger time.

I think we might just have an 'arsenal'

I wonder if India is going to pass "Strict, New, Tough" gun laws to "Combat This Crisis"?

Heck, with a war with Pakistan looming every day, and several major terrorist attacks now, you would think that you would want ALL of your citizens carrying!

Perhaps liberty and logic will prevail.

I hope so. It would be a great example to us here in the US.

This is a pretty detailed account of the Mumbai attack: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122809281744967855.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Two things stood out to me. First gun control is so complete in India that even police and security didn't have guns or at least not many. Second, those Indian police that attacked some of these guys with only bamboo batons certainly had a warrior attitude.

I guess they didn't have many takers on that offer.

I hope the democrates didn't read that one. They may want to make it a requirement.

Not being able to protect yourself is a bad thing. I can't beleive 10 guys could do so much damage and for 3 days!!!!

Well if I ever get laid off i know where there is an opening for a firearms instructor.

Pakistanis turned out by the thousands to protest a cartoon about Mohammed. Where is their outrage over this event?

One of the forums I belong to...our catch phrase is "We have more guns than Lebanon" so yah, I think we got em covered

I know I have enough to arm my sector of my neighborhood in case of zombies or "red dawn"

Don't know if you guys noticed but some of the Police in India are still carrying Enfield Rifles.
