The 'Sun News Network' is a slightly to the right organization that is sometimes refered to as "Fox News North." A little biased.

Canada has about 1/3 the guns per capita than the USA. I've lived here all my life and have never felt the need to arm myself for protection. Different culture, different mindset. Maybe I'm not sure. But don't think for a moment that a 'Sandy Hook' type incident couldn't happen here. God forbid, but it could happen anywhere.

Other differences are much lower poverty rates and levels, and far fewer numbers of weapons are available, and most firearms that are available are not well suited for criminal acts. Canada has had it's share of school shootings as well, but they have generally had much lower casualty numbers, due to the shooters being limited to 5 round weapons. Canadian criminals also do not have very good access to firearms. Typically only organized crime members have access to serious firearms (full size clips, pistols, smg's. assault rifles, etc.) and those weapons are not very common and expensive to acquire since they have to be smuggled in from the States. Also our national gun laws prevent what is a serious problem in the US, and the major source of most firearms used by criminals. Since gun laws are state imposed, there is wild fluctuation in the laws and standards. Most criminal arms dealers in the US, buy their weapons from states that have very lax gun laws and no registration or background check (particularly at gun fairs). They then smuggle these weapons into other states with tighter gun laws (like New York), or other countries (Canada and Mexico primarily). Quote:
As for the "news" article Ducimus posted. To be honest, that guy likely receives a ton of ridicule in Canada, as he sounds like he is trying to be the Canadian version of Glen Beck. I couldn't even finish the clip it was so bad. |
