Just seen a news story on BBC world news about three policeman in Canada being shot dead by a 24 year old man who is now being hunted down in the area it happened and that area is now on lock down. Residents told to stay in doors and keep all doors locked. Anyone seen this?. There is way to much gun crime over there Obama needs to change the gun laws right now. How many more people have to die cos of this?.

Obvious troll is obvious
It's kinda hard to tell when all you have is the written word.
So although it may be obvious that you ARE, I really hope you're joking!
ETA. Or, I suppose, it may be a kind of message to those who believe "it's always in America".

Obvious cliché is .. well .. a cliché .. and inaccurate ..
Come on. You don't think someone posting a thread about a shooting in CANADA and referencing the US president and gun laws is obviously trolling?
Well, either trolling or stupid.
Thanks for posting that link at least someone is taking this news story seriously
Just because someone makes an ill-informed comment, it doesn't automatically make them a troll.
I could be wrong, but I'm not sure that Obama has any say in what goes on in Canada. Canada has its own Prime Minister.
Are you calling for a coup d'état?
That comment was so monumentally daft that the brain simply concludes it was deliberate.
Quite. It's just giving the OP the benefit of the doubt, so to speak.
True, just makes them ignorant.
Canada really does not have much of a problem with guns at all. They have loads of them, but the murder rate and gun crime rates are very low. What happened is a very rare occurance.
You are getting them mixed up with the USA who do have a massive gun problem, but have no will to do anything about it.
Meh. 99% times it's the USA. This is just that pesky other 1%.
Oh wow. Pesky?
If in doubt read the missing aircraft thread.
Although to be honest i'm still uncertain, given that every news report I've seen clearly states it was in Canada, and it was Royal Canadian Mounted Police shot, which should really be a little clue for the op as the country involved.
Back on topic though, It's extremely rare for such a thing to happen in Canada despite the level of gun ownership, although I think the Canadians do in fact have far better controls on guns than their neighbours, despite probably needing them far more in many parts of the country for defence against wildlife and general hunting (which in some areas is a mainstay of the local food supply due to how far they are from "civilisation").
Hopefully they'll catch the guy soon, and without any more police or civilians getting hurt.
I don't know about that. Have you ever been to Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Wyoming? A woman in Florida was recently mauled by a black bear in her garage. An eleven year old in Washington State recently shot and killed a cougar that was stalking her little brother on is way home from school. My dad is from California and grew up eating venison my grandpa killed in the Sierra Nevadas, and there is a wolf who roams the streets of my parent's city in Oregon.
