True..
As every citizen of Canada, Mexico, CentralAmerica and SouthAmerica are Americans too..
Because America is a whole continent with more than 35 countries..
Not a sole country..
Not agree?.. Geography books never lie..
Like it or not..

I guess that's true, but the degree of how hellbent you are and the ease of getting a gun makes a difference. We read of mass shootings around the world, but we read of many more in a country where access to guns is very easy.

Understand….there is a different thinking between us and them,
They have more guns than people in their country..

Americans kill each other a LOT more than other nations. They appear to be a particularly murderous lot - and for some reason think guns should be readily available to this particularly murderous lot.
Canada has the right idea making guns more illegal. Our right-wingers here on JT were freaking out over it a while back, and Joe Rogan has started an active campaign against the country as a result of their effort to enact more gun laws. Yet Canadians want stricter gun laws exactly because of these kind of shootings.
Which is how logical countries do things.

Canadians are Americans by the way.
Sir….you failed the square peg in the round hole test.
You have NO idea of the world.
Do us all a favour and go away

Just another typical day in friendly... wait what? Canada? I thought they had tough gun laws there. Oh my god! Who would've thought that bad guys will get guns regardless of the law?

the above leaves out, once again, that the easier places make it for just about anyone to get a gun, the more guns in circulation, and the easier for angry and unstable individuals, including people on terrorist watch lists, to get a gun.

You tried, kudos.
Without a doubt.
Bob Fosse
I know. But thanks for trying anyway.

That is a whole lot of bullets in a fairly straight line grouping. Glad the police are safe.
bass4funk
Well, that attempt failed miserably.
Bob Fosse
No. I’m trying to talk sense. I see my mistake.
bass4funk
You’re making an apples to oranges argument on this one.

It’s the recipient, not the explanation.

It's the person and the weapon. A person with an AR-15 can kill more people than a person with a butter knife.
I don't know why this has to be explained over and over.
Haaa Nemui
please answer my question.

This upsets every Canadian when guns are used in an unlawful manner and people are killed. That’s why we try to improve our laws to posses guns.
”Open carry” in Canada has a completely different meaning than United States.
in Canada it means you have an open beer and you are walking down the street.

So why do people always choose guns when other methods are more readily available?
*So you admit it's the person, not the weapon*.
Bob Fosse
So why do we have seatbelts? If you want to drive dangerously you will.

Maybe you’d see more knife crime.
Um, yep.
Knife, gun, hammer, car. You name it. Criminals will always use some weapon of some sort to kill people.
It's not the weapon, it's the people wielding the weapon.
Haaa Nemui
Of course, but it happens. just imagine if it wasn’t so easy to get guns from the neighbors. Maybe you’d see more knife crime.

Smuggled from south of the border.

No. It was reported by every major news outlet.

As I have been saying, if you are hellbent on wanting to kill someone, you will always find a way. Law or No law.

Exactly, which is why we do not see the false outrage that is actually a disguise for American bashing.

Any Canadians out there? If you are homeless and shot and wounded, is medical treatment free?

Just a normal day in North America.

Seems so.

How is it possible I missed this story? Maybe it didn’t fit the narrative of a kinder, gentler (than USA) Canada?
