Another good example of how gun control will make us all safer. Guns are practically banned in Canada and that has obviously prevented gun violence... Except when it doesn't... Like today.

Odd that it took the good guys with guns showing up to stop the killing. But never mind that inconvenient fact. That doesn't fit the liberal narrative. Disarm all the sane, law abiding people like the anti-gunners want and we'll be better off!

Says shooter is in custody. Wonder who and what was his purpose?

Yeah how can guns be "practically banned" in Canada when Canada has an extremely high gun ownership rate?

Right-wing Americans, know next to nothing about Canada, how Canada runs, etc.

Much more restrictive in Canada than the USA. Ask Moore he made a big deal out of it in one of his America bashing propaganda films.

I've never had a problem legally buying or using any of my guns, including my Smith and Wesson handgun...

Granted we do not have as many guns in Canada as in the US, but Canadians generally own guns for hunting, not protection...We are not nearly as paranoid as those to the south of us.

I own guns and none are for protection. Then again I don't live in places like Atlanta or Chicago.

Actually he pointed out that Canada had much LESS gun restriction than the USA, yet the US had much more gun violence.

Don't let being 100% completely wrong stop you from pontificating, however.

Canada requires a 60-day waiting period.


To own a gun in Canada, residents must take a safety course and pass both a written and a practical exam. The license expires in five years. Residents have to register restricted firearms, such as handguns and automatic weapons, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's Canadian Firearms Program.


Canada requires a background check that focuses on mental health and addiction. Agents are required to inform an applicant’s spouse or family before granting a license.

You want to quote Michael Moore, especially about guns, and say someone else is 100% completely wrong? Good one!
