Don’t forget up here in Canada with Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal in December 1989. Gamil Gharbi (aka Marc Lepine) took a Ruger Mini 14 and a hunting knife and murdered fourteen women one evening. The coroner determined that poor response time from the police (the Montreal 911 dispatch centre gave them inaccurate address information) was the chief reason the perpetrator achieved a high death toll and that his use of a semi auto was not the main factor (could have had similar results with a single shot shotgun or bolt action rifle).
Nonetheless, the gun grabbing crowd up here exploited that incident big time to demonize gun owners, semi autos, Albertans, conservatives even though Gharbi grew up in Montreal and was subjected to considerable physical abuse at the hands of his Algerian Muslim father.
good point. The bodies are not even cold and we have Obama making this political as an excuse to strip people of guns.
