The root cause isn’t guns.
Social media is also a huge player in these shootings. These people want an audience and they think they get it from Facebook and the like.

just thought id post this if anyone wants to watch it.
We don't understand the US Constitution because we're not part of the patriotic system of freedom and liberty that Americans know and love. Canadians haven't a clue because we're a nation that expects the government to look after us from the cradle to the grave never needing to sacrifice for freedom like Americans have. Americans know that freedom isn't free,a concept completely lost on the current generations of Canadians.Quote:

Ask yourself, have you seen a mass shooting anywhere OTHER then a gun free zone?
The only time there is a shooting that is not in a gun free zone, is when it's gang related.

i still dont agree.
i have a few friends that came to Canada from the states and they also agree with what i said and they did own multiple guns in the states at one time. one of them was actually in the military for a while and is no longer there. hes moved to BC now.
im pretty sure every nation "expects" the government to look after them. as for not understanding the US Constitution because we're not part of the patriotic system of freedom and liberty that Americans know and love, how about the Americans that agree with my statement? because they're are a lot of them.
As for "land of the free" America is probably at the bottom of the list there. the World Prison Brief's data put the U.S. incarceration rate at 655 inmates per 100,000 people, which is nearly 7% higher than the rate of the next-closest country, El Salvador.
As for Gun Deaths.
The top six’s gun death tolls for 2016: Brazil was 43,200, the US 37,200, Mexico 15,400, Colombia 13,300, Venezuela 12,800, and Guatemala 5,090. Collectively, these countries made up less than 10 percent of the global population but 50.5 percent of the world’s gun deaths, the study found....... this was in 2016.
( yes this does include suicides as well.)
imagine a town with a population of 37,200 people getting wiped out every year.
The U.S. gun homicide rate is 25 times that of other high-income countries.
bottom line is guns in the states are way to accessible.
ok. now ask yourself how many cases there are where someone goes nuts in their house and kills their whole family.Quote:

No. Federal laws prohibit weapons in all malls, restaurants, bars and government buildings. When they say "weapons" they do not just mean guns. You will get charged and sentenced the same regardless if you have a pen knife or a machine gun.Quote:
