Weapons that are banned out here now and for which there is no justification for a citizen to own.

So what's your point? That shit happens in countries with tighter gun laws?

Guns aren't illegal in Canada. I wish there were and then many of those shootings you listed above wouldn't have happened.

Look at the UK. Citizens are banned from owning firearms and the gun-related homicide rate per 100k is one of the lowest in the world (UK is 0.04, US is 74x higher at 2.98). More guns is not the way to stop gun violence, it's an absolutely absurd way of thinking, in my opinion.
