Facts never get in the way of modern liberal feelings.
It's la Belle province. Why should today be different?
They have to rationalize it all in their little minds somehow.
Spoke to a friend whose office is in Westmount Square. WS was in lockdown with only one exit for all offices and shops. He says no one knew what they were doing, how many shooters or how many victims and this was 90 minutes ago.
Naturally, the actors with preset agendas are the first to show up- after Columbine, some here called it "Blood Dancing," and it's an accurate description.
More's the pity- this is not a Hardware Problem ( weaponry ) but a Software ( malicious people ) Problem.
Cars kill and maim far more people, every single day of the year, and swimming pools kill more children- guns are just a convienient boogy man for those who would rather not face the insoluable problem that there are bad, sick, or twisted people out in the world.
After the Seattle Shooting here, one of the women who survived started a crusade for yet more failed gun control- and it has been pointed out ( "dial 9-11 and die" ) that if she had pulled a sidearm out of her purse instead of a cell phone, the friend she lost might still be alive today-- some people simply refuse to learn from life's hard lessons. The world is not, never has been, and never will be, a "safe" place... you'd better be ready for it to turn ugly in an instant.

So even though we knew he was lying through his teeth it took 10 years for the public and press to realize the registry has not solved a single crime nor prevented one..."
