We're a bad influence on them.

Fucked him up

Yeah, and if you add up all the dead in all those shootings it comes up to around 25 total. In all the incidents. Combined. And it would be around 10 if it wasn't for that Polytechnique incident which resulted in by far the largest body count. And surprise, surprise, it involved a semi-automatic weapon. 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.

great stuff: FYI, the cat is out of the bag with guns... they aren't going away

So only flintlock and other single shot firearms are legal in Canada?

You seem to be proud of that. That's pretty sick.

realistic which you seem not to be... in fact I'll go ahead and state that you are intellectually arrogant.

you seem to be under the impression that you personally know how everyone should live and what they should or should not own.

it's people like this that cause genocide and war. and that my friend is pretty sick :2 cents:

84 people dead from mass shootings in 2012 alone in the US.

Yup, y'ont won't see any wannabee cowboys flaunting their guns or their conceeled weapon badges in Canuckstikan

Every country has issues like this. People kill people with guns, it's a fact. Even if guns are out lawed, people will still die from firearms.

20 kids get killed and this Grapesoda spends the next 2 days trying to justify it.

Go get some help man.

We need to start by banning porn. The filth!!

Its a part of society you cant get away from so stop looking for a exit

Why there is so much similar but only knife and cold weapon mass kills in china?

What year did the Canadian gun restriction become enacted and did it impact the gun violence as expected?

l.usually gun crime goes up when guns are banned, I'd be interested as well

why gives you the idea I'm trying too justify murder? odd conclusion on your part for sure, but then again you're probably trying to make me look like an ass so you can feel better about yourself? so.... fell better now?

that's pretty much the 'liberal' tactic from what I see... "you're a piece of shit because you do NOT agree with I WANT!" not, "I think your conclusion is not valid... BECAUSE" : intelligent discussion goes here:

......

Seriously, step out of that Montana backwoods shack and head down to the local mental health clinic. :2 cents:

Guns were always controlled. Back when the railroad was being built, Americans were forced to leave their guns at the border, and they got pretty upset about that. (Don't have a link, that's from a Pierre Berton book.)

Pre-1892
Justices of the Peace had the authority to impose a six-month jail term on anyone carrying a handgun, if the person did not have reasonable cause to fear assault against life or property.

1892
The first Criminal Code required individuals to have a basic permit, known as a 'certificate of exemption,' to carry a pistol unless the owner had cause to fear assault or injury. It became an offence to sell a pistol to anyone under 16. Vendors who sold pistols or airguns had to keep a record of the purchaser's name, the date of the sale and information that could identify the gun.

1913
Carrying a handgun outside the home or place of business without a permit could result in a three-month sentence. It became an offence to transfer a firearm to any person under the age of 16, or for a person under 16 to buy one. The first specific search, seizure and forfeiture powers for firearms and other weapons were created.

pretty sure these regulation are in effect right now in California? even stricter in fact..

No. I own many semi-auto guns.

Thanks Elli :)

However clip sizes are limited to 5 for semi auto rifles unless it is a 22.

Yes. Look at the UK. The rate of violent crime is double that of the US....




.

Don't forget the horrific Norway attack

I dont think they should ban them but if they wanted to it could happen.once women couldnt vote and slavery was legal and both were in the constitution.

Don't believe for a second that the news of this tragedy has been met with anything but jubilation in Canada. An entire nation of cowards stumbling over their collective erections to dust off their government issued soap boxes. There are few things a Canadian loves more than dead Americans.

This is only the case because the UK has a higher rate of robberies and assaults. When it comes to rape, both countries are about even. And the US has a 3 times higher rate of murder per capita than the UK.

Getting robbed or getting in a bar fight is one thing. Getting murdered is quite another. I don't know about you but I'd much rather be a victim of the first two crimes rather than the last.

Looking closer shows more, though.

What is the rate of victims of those crimes that end up injured or dead?

not really sure 'slavery' was in the constitution and if I remember correctly only 'land owners' could vote
