Not useless at all. The USA represents 5% of world population but yet has 46% of all guns in the world a total 400 million.

The killer just turned 18 a couple of weeks and bought two assault rifles, no harder than buying groceries.

But that's ok, Fat F uck Texas senator Ted Cruz says USA schools need more armed good guys protecting students.

I would imagine that 95% of rural ppl in Canada own guns.

Define “assault rifle”. Is it because it is black and looks like a scary weapon to liberals that it is an assault weapon? Because they function the exact same as a non assault weapon with a wooden stock.

The political use of these idiotic tragedies by liberals who have no clue about guns is ALWAYS the result of these idiotic acts.

In Canada, Trudeau is getting rid of mandatory minimum sentences for violent crimes, including gun crimes. Why? Because there is too high a ratio of a certain race in prison. That will for sure fix the problem!

During harpers tenure, he mused about the need for more prisons. The liberals went berserk. Can’t jail offenders, that’s just wrong.

That doesn't sound like a very effective voting block..

Unless of course they all subscribe to the concept of from my cold dead hands.

One darn extreme to another.
When Canada is an island in the middle of an ocean we can get stats that low too.
Most people could care less about guns really. But 86%? or so of crime guns here are smuggled or stolen. Our proximity to 400 million of them won't change soon. Wonder what the % is in Afghanistan lol.
American gun culture isn't going away soon.
Our Nova Scotia shooter fell through a lot of cracks before his snap. All smuggled guns too.
Anyone who has any common sense and a little education on the matter will agree that our laws were more than adequate before Justin's latest expensive brain wave.
People will always snap.
But my prayer is that mental health issues will at sometime in the future be understood properly.

The US right wing will never support any limit on guns unless fetuses are killed!

Trudeau is the best firearms salespeople ever, in the days leading up to May18 gun shops were having record sales of non restricted firearms ahead of the new approval and record keeping laws.

Hollywood and video games caused this. I bought a 22 at Sears in the midtown plaza in Saskatoon. Walked out through the mall and a block to my car. Try that now and you'll be on CBC news for the next two months.

Guns don’t kill people , deranged people kill others .
How do young kids get guns ???? Well irresponsible parents and now social media influences.
How many knife attacks in London the past few years as a percentage of 30 year average ? How many people attacked in broad daylight in the big cities daily? You tube videos daily . Pushed onto train tracks as well ?
The latest gun shootings were absolutely terrible, I agree 110% . But what’s the root cause ? The guns , or terribly bad parents ?? Or is it the current culture of Hollywood violence and video game extreme violence?

Some serious questions to look in the mirror

It ain’t the guns, it’s the nuts!
