No, it's a terrible situation. Hopefully, governments have learned something from it. Certainly, we have learned something from it - have a back up plan.
And packinnova, I understand your position, if it is some sort of break the door down invasion. By and large, however, that isn't what happened - the police knocked, asked about guns, and took what they found. They didn't initiate force (in the physical sense) against anyone, and no one's life was in danger unless they used force to resist. I know it was a bad, bad scene, and I am disgusted by the "leaders" who ordered this and by the complete lack of resistance from the cops, but I'm still not willing to kill anyone over it. The temporary infringement on my rights, while reprehensible, isn't a capital crime. TOTAL and PERMANENT infringement, on the other hand, might draw a different response.
