    Fun with firearms under Canada's strict gun control laws

    Andy Clark / Reuters

    A member of the Vancouver Gun Club, which was formed in 1924, takes aim while trap shooting at the club facility in Richmond, British Columbia Feb. 10.

    As the first in a series from Reuters on gun culture in various nations, photographer Andy Clark spent time at a public indoor gun range in British Columbia and at the 79-year-old Vancouver Gun Club where members shoot skeet and trap. The shotgun-only club has about 400 regular members and sells an estimated 1,100 day passes each year. Canada has very strict laws controlling the use of handguns and violent crime is relatively rare.

    Police officers stand at attention during the funeral of Michael Crain, a Riverside, Calif., police officer and former Marine, at the Riverside National Cemetery on Feb.13, 2013. Ex-LAPD Officer Christopher Dorner is suspected in the killing of a police captain's daughter, her fiancé, Crain and Jeremiah MacKay, a San Bernardino sheriff's deputy. Dorner is believed to have been killed in a shootout at a cabin in the San Bernardino Mountains.

    A boy salutes the procession of police vehicles leaving the funeral service for Riverside police Officer Michael Crain on Wednesday.

    The Orange County Register reported on Wednesday:

    Officer Michael Crain loved being a policeman and was proud to serve his country -- but nothing in his life was more important than his family.

    That was the message Wednesday as law enforcement officials from San Francisco to Indio joined family and friends in mourning the death of the 34-year-old Riverside Police Department officer who authorities believe was killed in an ambush by ex-Los Angeles Officer Christopher Dorner.

    Dorner was a self-absorbed sick and twisted loser. We all encounter difficulties in life and occasionally situations result in outcomes that may be unfair or seem unfair. Never does an unfair or seemingly unfair job dismissal warrant murdering anyone.

    Chicago's violent legacy gets personal for Reuters photographer John Gress

    By John Gress, Reuters

    It’s not every day that an assignment teaches you something about your own childhood.

    When I was 7 years old my father, who shared my name, passed away and when I looked down today, I saw a boy, Ronnie Chambers Jr., who is about the same age as I was back then, sitting at my feet with RIP carved in the back of his hair. He was there mourning the loss of his father, who also shared his name.

    Ronnie Chambers was shot in the head on January 26. His mother, Shirley Chambers, has lost all four of her children to gun violence.

    Seeing Ronnie Jr. today caused me to choke up a little, thinking about the parallels between his life and mine. Seeing him move about the church seemingly unaware of the gravity of the situation, explained to me in that moment why all I can recall about my father's funeral was sitting in my uncle's lap during the service, and a photo of my father in his casket which my mother used to keep in the glove box of her car.

    For me, as significant as that day was, to a child it wasn’t much different than many other church experiences we have while navigating through the adult world. The situation was already emotional for me having met Ms. Chambers last week during an interview. Looking her in the eye and saying my goodbyes, I was left speechless, knowing there was nothing I could do to comfort her in her bereavement, other than a long look of solace and my silence.

    Images of silence: Remembering the Newtown school victims one week later

    Sandy Hook Village firefighters observe a moment of silence near Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 21. Many Americans remembered the victims of the Newtown, Connecticut, school massacre with a moment of silence on Friday, as a powerful U.S. gun rights lobbying group prepared to plunge into the national debate over gun control.

     Tracy Connor / NBC News -- Twenty-six times the bells tolled Friday, punctuating a moment of silence that descended on Newtown, Conn., and many other communities across the country to mark one week since the horror at Sandy Hook Elementary school.

    From white-steepled churches in the Georgia countryside to the majestic National Cathedral in Washington, the peals began at 9:30 a.m. -- the same time last Friday that gunman Adam Lanza began the rampage that tore a hole in the heart of America.

    There was one ring for each of the 20 first-graders and six staff members killed by high-powered rifle fire -- and in some places, a 27th ring for Lanza's mother, who owned the guns her son used to kill her, the children and educators, and himself.

    The coffin of police Constable Nicola Hughes is carried into Manchester Cathedral after processing along the city's Deansgate lined with police officers and members of the public on Oct. 3 in Manchester, England. Police Constables Nicola Hughes, 23, and her police colleague Fiona Bone, 32, were killed as they responded to what they thought was a routine burglary call in Mottram, Greater Manchester and were murdered in a gun and grenade attack. The funeral of Fiona Bone also takes place at the cathedral tomorrow. A local man, Dale Cregan, 29, appeared before Manchester Magistrates last week accused of four murders, including those of PC Nicola Hughes and PC Fiona Bone on Sept. 18.

    Reuters reports--One of Britain's most wanted fugitives killed two unarmed policewomen on Tuesday in a gun and grenade ambush, police said, killings which are likely to reignite a long-running debate over whether British officers should carry guns.

    Police constables Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23, were gunned down in a hail of bullets after responding to a hoax call about a burglary in the northern English city of Manchester.

    Despite shock over the murders, described by Prime Minister David Cameron as "despicable", senior police officers said they were determined that the British force would remain one of few in the world which is not routinely armed. Continue reading the full story.

    The story makes it sound like a 'berserker' kind of attack - guns & grenades. Don't know if being armed would've made much difference in this case. Ugly thing to have happened.

    Vigil remembers victims of shooting at Oak Creek Sikh temple

    John Gress / Reuters

    Sikhs attend a vigil in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, on August 7, 2012 following the killings of six worshippers at a Sikh temple.

    The Associated Press reports — Hundreds of people gathered in southeastern Wisconsin Tuesday night to remember the six Sikh worshippers who were fatally shot at their temple on Sunday.

    Attendees held candles and prayed for the victims, remembering them as peaceful individuals dedicated to their families and faith.

    Police Chief John Edwards told the crowd that such incidents often prompt anger and calls for revenge, but he says he was struck by the peaceful reaction of the Sikh community.

    New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg meets with area Sikh members at the Sikh Cultural Society in Queens following the deadly shootings at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin by an Army vet on Aug. 6, in New York City. The suspected gunman has been identified as 40-year-old Wade Michael Page, who allegedly killed six people at a temple in Wisconsin August 5, was shot to death by police. He was an army veteran and reportedly a former leader of a white supremacist heavy metal band. Three others were critically wounded in the attack.

    Sikh communities through the United States have been shaken from the news of Sunday's deadly shooting at a Wisconsin temple. While the shooting took place over 800 miles from New York City, it is clear from the top photo (above) that tensions remain high. NBC New York reports:

    "Since the incident happened yesterday, the NYPD came right over here and go over to all our other temples and we feel safe, we feel the confidence in our NYPD," said Gurdev Singh Kang, president of the Sikh Cultural Society in Richmond Hill, Queens. "I appeal to our whole Sikh community, be peaceful."

    Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly attended a prayer service inside the Richmond Hill temple Monday afternoon. They later spoke to the press, and Bloomberg decried what he called the "deafening silence" of the presidential candidates on the issue of gun control.

    Bloomberg said the NYPD was taking precautionary steps  -- "some visible and some not" -- to keep the Sikh community safe.

    "When we received information of the shootings yesterday we immediately dispatched additional resources to Sikh temples here in New York," Kelly said Monday. "I can assure you that we're going to continue to monitor this issue, we're going to keep our presence at these locations in place and we're going to make that determination on a daily basis."
