Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada where gun ownership laws are stricter than in the neighbouring United States.

Is the writer demented? Does he think GUN LAWS stop anyone with violent intent?

i can't think of any law, that can stop someone intent on comitting a crime.

Canada has a FRACTION of the population of the USA. Thus fewer mass shootings.

Canada has HUGE amounts of Forests, wilderness and RURAL AREAS where there are FEW people spread out over a wide area. Thus fewer Mass Shootings.

Canadians are notorious POLITE. thus fewer Mass shootings.

A stupid law wouldn't change anything. And Canada allows tons of weapons into the country (like the most current NORINCO bullpups, etc.) that the USA won't.

My favorite is the "Converted Auto" We have to take those historic machineguns and chop them up then rebuild them. THEY can, or could, just make the gun semi auto. I have seen and held in my hand (around 2007) an original milled AK from the late 50s that merely had a pin placed in the "third hole" to block it from being used. What blew my mind is that since there are only so many that can own the gun, the price was $500. -- YES FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS CANADIAN!! Basically $20 American, lol.

Saddened when I read about the shootings because I was going to post that we haven't had one here for quite a while. So maybe the Covid-19 lock down is a good thing...

[alismith]

Of course, Trudeau's reaction to this isn't surprising at all. Just like what our Commucrats always call for every time something like this happens here.

Right in my neck of the woods. The gas station he killed himself at is where I get my hotdogs with inappropriately applied cheese from the nacho machine.

Wow. You do that, too, huh?

p.s.- So sorry this crap had to happen in your neck of the woods (or anywhere else, for that matter).

Canadian police are being very secretive about what sort of firearm(s) he used. One, apparently, was from the RCMP lady that he killed. Any word on that yet?

Due to better beer.

Canada doesn't have those stupid barrel length rules for shotguns and rifles either.

And in Toronto, the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) drive even faster than the speeders. On the QEW, if you're driving under 90 mph (145 kph), you're just in the way.

Know what it feels like for traffic to go from 90 mph to zero in Friday rush hour traffic? The smell of hundreds of red hot brake discs?

Nothing is more important than getting to the cottage, cracking open some Molson's and going "oot and aboot in the boot". Eh?

Then you will be happy to hear that our fine governor, Jabba the Hutt, and the St. Louis (MO) County executive, Dr. Sam Paige, have both extended the "stay at home" orders into May.
One of the people protesting the lockdown in St. Louis county 2 days ago was interviewed and reminded the reporter that a "quarantine" is when they restrict the movement of sick people. But when you restrict the movement of healthy people, it is TYRANNY.

[alismith]

I sincerely hope that every single state, whose governor extends the stay home order, goes into bankruptcy and the Fed does not bail them out. Maybe severe economic and tax shortfalls will show these idiots what happens when you play with tyranny....you lose money all the way around. What is the good of leading a bankrupt state, and everyone knows it's your fault? Hope the voters remember this when the next election rolls around.

Ali - the problem is that so many of these politicians are deliberately trying to do this to get rid of President Trump. They appear to be willing to go to any length to achieve this end.

That's why I said I hope the voters remember this when it's time to vote. The politicians are willing to sacrifice them in another lame attempt to get rid of Trump.

Hey just wanted to add that the locals are saying he got his guns from the female cop he overpowered and killed.
She lived in my neighborhood somewhere. Her husband teaches at my sons school and their two kids go there. It's a real sad situation. The whole area is going to dress in red and stand in our front lawns today at 6pm local. Yesterday I hauled a good one right out of my allergy filled sinuses and spit it right on the exact spot where buddy died.

So the RCMP can't just say that? Why do they hem and haw and try to maintain the collapsing narrative that 'gun control' would have stopped this.....

[T2K]

Still no information on what type of guns he used. Why all this secrecy?
