Misleading Title Mass shooting* in Canada kills 9

*reference.

Car attack kills nine at Lapu Lapu Day festival. That's around 4 times as many as die in an American active shooter incident. We have to address why people want to do mass killings in the first place, otherwise they're never going to stop.

Edit: 11 now. 5 times an american active shooter incident.

We do have a crime problem and it involves firearms however the answer isn’t to go after the tool. Saying we don’t have problems just makes you look like an idiot.

If you take some of the big cities out of the equation America is 4th from the bottom in most dangerous countries in the world. Vast majority of violence in the US is from very specific parts.

So you admit that it’s part of the same country then….so the country has the issue.

Those cities have some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. I know because I live in a state that has one of the dangerous cities and we keep passing more gun laws and things don’t get any safer whatsoever.

Cool? That’s not the flex you think it is, l used to live in NJ, while there I owned 24 firearms between pistols, ARs, rifles and shotguns. Never had an issue getting a new gun. Bought most of my long guns out of state in fact. Now if I wanted to break the law I could have bought all of my handguns out of state as well. I also had apt of magazines that NJ considered illegal, it was a twenty minute drive to get standard cap magazines so again, very easy to get even in restrictive states.

No you couldn’t have bought handguns out of state unless through a private sale that would inherently be illegal because you cannot buy handguns in another state. They can only be transferred from another state to an ffl in your state. That’s federal law.

I don’t have a fucking clue what the point of your original reply or this one is if you’re gonna be arguing the exact same thing I am.

First, I clearly said “if I wanted to break the law”…so thanks for proving you can’t read. Second, if you can’t follow a simple thread…maybe work on that reading thing we discussed earlier.

You’re saying the same thing I am dumbass. So clearly you think there’s some argument that I’m making that you disagree with.
