Terrible. The fact that he shot two of his brothers before heading to the school means there's more to this story.

All of Canada sucks for mental health care, but I'm sure even more so up in an isolated reserve.

I don't understand how this is possible in Canada? Isn't the possession of firearms illegal there? Possibly perhaps through smuggling?

There are many millions of firearms owners in Canada. Whatever gave you the idea that possession of firearms was illegal in Canada?

Have a look at the thread in P&OC about the Saskatchewan school shooting. There are some impressive misunderstandings there. I'd suggest that it should come as no surprise that foreigners don't have the detailed knowledge of our gun laws that we Canadians do.

No, they're not unfortunately. There's good gun control though.

Thanks Chevy, I went and looked at that topic. I see what you mean. Definitely a lot of misunderstandings. I think it's not worth while getting into a discussion about it with that crowd over there in P&OC though so I didn't post anything.
