    Does it? I'm not so sure. What stops someone from getting a gun and shooting people up in Canada?

    Are the borders of that country some magical force field that keep guns out?

    Instantly reallocate unused COVID funds to add security to every elementary/Middle school today that do not currently have SRO's. Ensure every school has single point entries with alarm security doors. Install anti ram pillars at every entrance. Just to start, followed up with taking mental health EXTREMELY serious as this seems to be the catalyst for our continued societal decline.

    It might be helpful if you actually replied in answer to my points and not reconstruct what I said.
    And stop merely parroting propaganda and répétitive justification.
    If the lunatics don't have Guns, infants would be alive today. So would tens of thousands of others.
    Knives are bad enough but you can only kill one at a time.
    And 2A refers to owning Guns if you are part of à militia.
    Are you?

    No. You can't. And no, you're not disarming anyone.

    I'll ask you again, why would you not disarm the criminals first?

    It solves the problem, though.

    Drugs are not necessary.
    Cars are.
    Guns are not necessary. Defence does not have to be a gun.

    If this is the best you can do then it’s best you give up.
    Spend your time reading Guns and Ammo, pour over catalogues of weapons, read the reviews, polish up and oil your guns, boast online about having the most up to date killing implements, carry on.
    You seem to relish the opportunity to promote your agenda that promotes spree killings, and the good news for you is that these events are so commonplace you have an almost weekly opportunity to show off your lust for weapons that, as has just been shown, are good at wiping out children.

    You are right, no-one is going to disarm.
    It might be an idea to provide hand guns to each student.
    So I think we need to just accept that every week of the year some school, somewhere in America, is going to be shot up.
    It's the price we pay for our 'security.'
    Mybe one day soon a school will be shot up every day.
    The rest of the world looks aghast at this American tragedy - and has no need of gun 'security.'

    Who's next? Maybe a school near you?

    I addressed your points.

    As soon as you stop.
    if you had a magical fairy wide to make them all disappear you would have a point.
    Show me the text where it says you have to be part of the militia. I've never seen it neither has any supreme Court the history of the US.

    So educate all the constitutional lawyers in the country about what the Constitution says since you know it so well.

    Let's hear this part of the second amendment that you have secret knowledge of.

    Was this one of your profile points that I had to address that you misunderstand the Second amendment and what a militia is.

    It doesn't solve the problem of mass school shootings - the death penalty is a given in these situations.

    A special permit is required to obtain any semi-automatic gun.

    Magazines of more than 6 rounds are not legally available.

    Secure storage at home is mandatory.

    It is forbidden to transport it without a padlock.

    Illegally possessing a gun sends you to prison for 5 to 10 years.

    Most importantly, there is no gun culture in Canada.

    The vast majority of parents teach their children that the more guns there are in a society, the more violence there is.

    Says who? The ACLU? Ha. China once had an opioid problem. You know how they solved it? It wasn't hugs and kisses.

    No one with a brain will disarm, we're not the problem. No one will go get the guns from criminals. The rest of the world is compromised of subjects and not citizens, people who get arrested for facebook posts, and people who wait 45 minutes for the cops to save them from baddies.

    That's so funny, and sad for them. They still die of violence but feel extra sugary special that a gun didn't do it.

    Why should I stop?
    Because what I say strikes à chord?
    Very easy to get rid of guns. Destroy them.
    Read 2A. Those who are part of an active militia have the right to bear arms.i know what that means. ISTM you never bothered to read it.

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    There are problems you cannot solve, this is true. You can't make the entire public safe from idiots.

    Groveling well get your everywhere.
    Does that fulfill some of your fantasies?
    you're so desperate to save face after your little penis envy comments you think anyone's promoter.

    It's okay I'll be your boogie man you can throw all the fits that people don't agree with you that you want. I'll quit making fun of you it seems to really hurt.

    I disagree. I think, from the global perspective, armed population is a good thing. There are more positives to it than negatives. Especially in light of the defund the police movement.

    That's fine, but I didn't see anything about gun control there.

    "Taking mental health seriously" sounds okay, but vague. We already have mental health programs everywhere. Besides,I am not yet convinced that this monster was mentally ill in any way that could be detected, diagnosed and treated. He was holding down a job where he made people uneasy, but no one yet interviewed has said he was anything other than obnoxious and inappropriate.

    The central fact is that firearms possession is constitutionally protected. I will take seriously an attempt to address firearms and mass shootings when it includes a frank statement that the Second Amendment should be itself amended.

    It started around mid 1960s, although they were not unheard of before that either, so when you say 'before', did you mean before that time?

    This is a duplicate thread.

    so you can't kill a bunch of people with a pump action?
    magazines are just a box with a spring in it anybody with a little bit of metalworking skills can make a thousand round magazine if they want.
    Do they have cameras in your house? If not how do they know you aren't storing it safely.
    And some magical spell prevents you from breaking the law and taking the lock off?
    But a multiple murder charge what is that three weeks?
    there's no Boogeyman culture anywhere.

    You people make up the silliest things.
    and you lie to your kids.

    Nothing you said in this post prevents anything.

    Anyone could still get a gun get ever get a magazine it may not be legal but what would someone who is going to give it mass murderer care about a 10-year sentence?

    It's not your dog sense laws that do nothing that protect you none of those laws do anything except for control you so you're picking your government covered me harder and it does nothing.

    I'm glad we're not Canada. You can live in your land of fake believe and pretend all this hunky dory. I hope nobody shatters that illusion.

    You should stop arguing the person and start presenting àn objective case. You might have something useful to say.
