It’s all complete BS. There is no evidence to support this. The Canadian murder weapon of choice is the knife.
Discussing this at work with co workers we determined that the average Canadian these days living in the west and east coast cities are completely
removed from having firearms in the daily life like those in middle and and northern Canada.
Their only reference to guns in the psyche is what ever the man on the tv said about them even if it’s a complete lie. Granted handguns are a rarer
item in Canada in general when compared to long guns however I see no reason to consider them anymore lethal then any other gun available. Concealable
sure but only really useful at close range a knife is even more concealable and just as deadly in melee range in the right hands.Polymer knives for
example can’t even be detected and can be brought anywhere.
Plus the fact the literal only remedy we have public shootings is to call someone with a gun to come and use it. Maybe, just maybe it wouldn’t be a
big deal if the gun was already there? Concealed carry on Canada would be amazing but would never happen.
Banning things never ever solves the problem and only ever creates a host of new problems. It creates new markets, new opportunities for crime not
less….it’s so stunningly simple and obviously that regulation and education is literally the only way to go with pretty much any
commodity,item,drug.
