Take a look at this BBC article. It features a video (which is only viewable in IE, I can't get it to view in Firefox)
Here you see a couple of local police constables taking on the terrorists. These policemen were heavily outgunned - they only had a single WW2-era .303 Enfield single-shot rifle between them, while the terrorist had a fully automatic AK-57 or H&K MP6.
It was very courageous and heroic of them to do that, instead of running away.

Why not we exchange, these poor guys guns, with the guns that the guards tote when they protect our useless, cowards called politicians?
I would say, shame on the high ranking police officers, whose conscience should be killing them, seeing these videos, that is if they have one.

This is what the Pakistan Media informs their Citizens. Just watch it.
Please forward this link to all your Contacts, specially to the ones who are in the Media, so that this outrageous video comes out in Public.
.303 Enfield is pre-WW1! I remember using one at school.
My father was in the Garhwal Rifles, and once told me that the .303 Enfield was the standard equipment when his Regiment fought the 1962 War with China. The Chinese troops were of course equipped with machine guns.
After a half-century, we still haven't learned.
Here, it is - I stand corrected:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee-Enfield
"It was the British Army's standard rifle from its official adoption in 1895 until 1957."
Oh great - our chattering classes are equipped with laptops from the 21st century, but the men who put their lives in harm's way are equipped with rifles from 1895.
A Tale of Two Indias.

I am using Firefox v3.0.4, and it opens the video. So does Opera (9.62)
