I agree.

We have a much higher murder rate in the USA than Canada or Great Britain has.

Our liberal gun laws don't seem to be convincing that we have a "safer" country. Quite the contrary I would say.

You can get assault rifles and handguns in Canada, a very quick google search proved it.

The shooter was Canadian, was he not?

He had a gun.

They are illegal in Canada. See report above.

Illegal means very little to nothing if you have you have an agenda!

If you have money, that's true. Nonetheless, they are illegal, which probably means Canada doesn't have anywhere near the death by gunshot rate for children that America has.

I didn't say they were legal. I said you can get them.

Didn't the shooter have a gun?

According to a recent study by the Children's Defense Fund, the gun death rate for children and teens in the US is four times greater than in Canada, the country with the next highest rate, and 65 times greater than in Germany and Britain.

This is the new wave, there will be more. Gotta watch that sect donch? The West needs to eradicate it here as well as there. Once in that sect always in that sect. Read it. There is more to keep us up at night besides a virus. A virus doesn't have human rights.

Oh well...he should have our compassions just as we were asked for the boston terrorists. Let's not make it a big deal. He is just a troubled person.

At least this one was disposed of, unlike the whacko in Oklahoma who chopped off that woman's head and is now enjoying 3 hots and a cot.

I never saw anyone suggest having compassion for the Boston terrorists, but we did see a couple of people falsely suggest that.

Guess they're still trying to rewrite history.

Re: Thoughts and prayers for our Northern Friends

What happened today is soooo much bigger than the usual gun control argument. That has been done to death and no minds will be changed.
