Good thing no one ever breaks into cars. Just imagine a crack head breaking into a car and stealing a gun.

The mother of the Dayton shooter and one of the victims had called the police weeks before but the cops just told her it legal for him to own a gun.

Fun fact scheer wants us style gun laws. https://web.archive.org/web/20170525...se_on_firearms look at the button on the bottom. You can't answer no.

Did anyone see the crowds at the El paso hospital when trump visited? The crowds where huge the most people at a hospital after a mass shooting ever.

I'm not defending this kind of behaviour but any gun owner (even in Canada) could do the same. And its just as illegal. Its called brandishing and that gets you jailtime. Its not an instrument to intimidate when you feel upset.

But every idiot in Canada is not allowed to own a gun. Next time you walk down a busy street look at all the people and image them having a gun.

What Manic! said is my point. Yes, it "could" happen here but to be honest if I got into any altercation with a random person in Vancouver the most i'd expect is maybe i'd get my ass kicked by their fist and maybe a baseball bat at best However, in Texas as an example I would actually have to assume and fear that no matter if it's the 21 year old nerd or a 90- year old grandma that I might get shot.

They could, but they'd be illegally carrying it from the moment they left the house in Canada, so people aren't bringing them around in their glovebox/purse/whatever. Then if such a situation does arise it's not conveniently on hand to any dipshit who wants to wave it around like a moron.

And yet it seems to be used as such quite frequently in the US.

Albeit when you are caught with a completely illegal handgun, ie. Purchased illegally, no RPAL, no range membership, loaded, and obviously used for illicit means, the penalties are minuscule.

Man walks into Walmart with an ar and 100 rounds of ammo. Manager pulls fire alarm the guy gets apprehended by a former fire fighter. The guy will probably sue for a violation of his rights.

Why the other guy had ever right to carry a gun in Walmart. Under the law the fighter fighter fkd up. He is the one that should be in jail for stoping a guy from exercising his second amendment rights.

Since individual states were formed prior to unification and the forming of a country, the state retained much of its sovereignty.
We don't have drastically distinguishable laws from province to province because Canada was formed first as a country and then broken up into provinces/territories.

Personally i think it makes a lot of sense to allow states to determine their own laws, since variables like demographics and population density can have an effect on crime. And those vary widely from state to state.
What works for one state may be futile or too punitive for another.

It makes no sense to have different laws in every state. In one state a speeding ticket would just be a fine in another it could be jail time for up to a year.

Well it's unfortunate that he didn't heed the many warnings he'd received and decided to break their law anyways.

Like i said the states are independent of each other. That's how their country was created. You can think of traveling to another state as similar to traveling to another country.
You mind their laws and keep your nose clean and you'll likely be ok.

Are you saying the US is like the EU?


Keeping your nose clean does not always work. Bird poop on your hood can test positive for cocaine.


Here is Ed Bolian promoting a service theta helps you beat speeding tickets by getting you in touch with local lawyers that may be buddies with the judge or prosecutor.

Trump gives thumbs up to mass shootings. Both of the baby's parents where killed in El Paso and that's a great reason to smile.

A 20yr old guy killed someone at his home (a female details not revealed) then proceeded to a Mosque, outside of Oslo, was armed with at least one pistol, and two rifles, broke in, and began to shoot, injured a 75yr old man, before being overpowered by others praying inside the mosque

Norway mosque shooting: Man opens fire on Al-Noor Islamic Centre

Police say the suspect appears to have acted alone
A man has been arrested in Norway after a shooting inside a mosque left one person injured on Saturday.

Police say a gunman opened fire on the Al-Noor Islamic Centre, in the outskirts of the capital Oslo.

Later a woman was found dead at the house of the suspect, police said.

The suspect "is around 20 years old, a Norwegian citizen from the area," said assistant chief of police Rune Skjold, adding that the man was now suspected of murdering a relative.

"We consider this a suspicious death... The dead person is related to the man arrested earlier today," he said.

Police say the man acted alone when he attacked the mosque.

The mosque's director told local media that the victim was a 75-year-old member of the congregation.

"One of our members has been shot by a white man with a helmet and uniform," Irfan Mushtaq told local newspaper Budstikka.

He later told local channel TV2 that the attacker had "carried two shotgun-like weapons and a pistol. He broke through a glass door and fired shots."

The gunman, who wore body armour, was overpowered by people at the mosque before police arrived at the scene, Mr Mushtaq added.

Police sources told public broadcaster NRK that several weapons were found inside the mosque, located in the town of Baerum, following the shooting.

The mosque had previously implemented extra security measures after a gunman killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, earlier this year, according to Reuters news agency.

Amazing they stopped a shooter without the need of a good guy with a gun.

One person dead (possibly related to him) and one injured. Suspect apprehended. And that story makes headlines across major outlets.
This is the past 24 hours in Chicago, yet almost no media coverage
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/loca...533388211.html

Just another weekend

I see. So the media prefer to focus on anomalies rather than mainstream problems.
Almost like they have the ability to make a less significant issue seem extreme and a major issue seem negligible

What do you take as a bigger threat to you, as to my knowledge, an average citizen.
Targeted violence and shootings, or mass shootings on random people in public places? I’m a lot more worried about my American friends being shot randomly at a car show or concert than some gang fight at 3am in downtown Chicago. Of course people are less interested in those incidents, as it’s less of a personal threat to an average American.
