THE PLANNING behind this makes it clear he was going to kill folks any way he possibly could. The means(gun) is NOT the issue. This man was going to kill. If he didn’t have a gun it would be a knife, axe, truck, poison, or explosive.

Gun laws only apply to the intended victims of gun violence -law abiding citizens.

Lots of planning, not what you typically see.

” ... still perplexed as to why he would extend his rampage past his ex and the boyfriend.”

I wondered about that, as well.

The rural in New Zealand did not give up their guns nor did the rural Australians. I am sure rural Canadians will never comply also. 18 dead is horrific,sick and sad but is not worth erasing liberty for the rest.

reading the linked article, the geometry of the descriptions (in and out of cars, pulling people over, shooting point blank, etc.) lead one to believe the weapons in question were semo auto handguns.

Yet there is zero information on what sort of firearm(s) the murdering RCMP-wannabee denturist used in his spree.

Sounds like he met his end wielding a gun he took from the female RCMP officer he murdered. RCMP service arm is a 9mm S&W 5946 pistol. If he had had a semi-auto rifle, wouldn't he have used that instead?

Article says that Trudeau’s government is going to introduce legislation against “military style weapons”

I worked more than 5-years in various parts of western Canada and I am pretty certain that AR-platform firearms are already banned.
At least all my Canadian shooting friends envied pics of my scary "assault rifles".

these kinds have lingering bitterness for some perceived slight in life and are basically sociopaths...I read elsewhere that someone who knew him in HS said he was not well liked....

To all my Canadian friends who talk mad trash about gun rights and guns in the US. Karma is a mofo!

Canadians should probably prepare for the mother of all gun grabs.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they spin semi-auto handguns as “military style weapons of war.”

“While he’s at it, perhaps Justine can introduce legislation that makes it illegal to kill people.”

That obviously would make zero sense. It is far more effective to outlaw guns because there is no other way to kill people, everybody knows that!! People don’t kill people GUNS kill people.
