Trying to compare Canada or Europe to the US is like trying to compare an insane asylum to a pre-school. Culture and genetics go much further in determining how many people are going to go nuts or be violent than the prevalence of firearms.
Hassel... rather than go back and forth trying to see who can piss the farthest, I'll say my peace and end my participation in your ever-so highbrowed and impossibly perfect thread.
In the US, I have the right to own a gun.
I would like to see the liberal laws that make it nearly impossible to track juvenile offenders erased. This nut would never have seen a permit if his actions had been available for review.
In spite of the belief of people that spend most of their lives in front of a computer screen, many people have proficiency with firearms, and are still perfectly good citizens that would never commit a crime or kill someone in anger.
That's about all there is to it. Fear me and my neighbors if you like. We all have guns. I hear people practicing with rifles at least once a week. Most of my friends hunt, and most of them can hit a target with a pistol at 75 yards with a 6 inch pattern from a full clip. I'm sure many would have trouble killing someone, but I'd trust them to be there for me over a cop anyday. I've seen cops take 10 minutes to show up in a large metropolitan area, or in the country.
This creep killed 6 and wounded another 14 in less than two minutes.
