Last real school shooting in Canada: years ago. Handguns, semiautos effectively banned.

Canada has lots of guns.

But Canadian laws heavily restrict guns from being carried in public. And handguns and most semi autos are banned. They have strong laws.

Canada. The U.S.'s neighbor to the north also has outstandingly low gun casualty statistics. ... Canadian civilians aren't allowed to possess automatic weapons, handguns with a barrel shorter than 10.5 cm or any modified handgun, rifle or shotgun. Most semi-automatic assault weapons are also banned.Jan 15, 2013

We could easily do the same. And that would save the lives of American kids.

1. If only he weren't allowed to carry it in public,

This whole thing would have been prevented...

Somehow I doubt he was willing to commit murder, but violating open carry was a bridge too far.

2. So youre advocating for a ban on handguns and semi autos?

I could get on board with that.

Handgun ban is what we need.

3. No.

I don't advocate for banning much of anything, from hard intravenous drugs, to high-capacity rifles, to kinder eggs.

I suppose outside of area affect weaponry, I really don't much mind what someone owns.
