@TheDroneDealer@JoJoFromJerz I’m a Canadian… Live in Canada, and I own not one, but for rivals. Avid Hunter, avid outdoorsman, and just proved your point wrong.
Guns are a uniquely American problem.
The rest of the world has mental health issues.
The rest of the world has ideological & philosophical division.
They have social media, pot, porn, cellphones & video games.
What they don’t have — is more guns than people, they don’t have more than 500 mass shootings in less than a year, they don’t have a populace paralyzed with fear that their child will be next. That THEY could be next.
At least, not until they arrive here.
After a British gunman killed 16 people in 1987, the country banned semiautomatic weapons like those he had used. It did the same with most handguns after a 1996 school shooting. It now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the developed world.
In Australia, a 1996 massacre prompted mandatory gun buybacks The rate of mass shootings went from once every 18 months to only one in the 26 years since.
Canada also tightened gun laws after a 1989 mass shooting.
So did Germany in 2002, New Zealand in 2019 and Norway in 2021.
Meanwhile here in America… since the Columbine massacre, there have been a total of 428 school shootings in the United States.
Since 1999, 390,000 students have experienced gun violence at school.
Since Sandy Hook — mass shootings have nearly tripled.
Each day 12 children die from gun violence in America. Another 32 are shot and injured.
Firearms are the leading cause of death for kids and teens in the US.
This. Is. An. American. Problem.
There are more civilian owned guns in this country than there are civilians.
It’s not the pot, the porn, the video games, it’s not the wrong kinds of locks, or too few “good guys with guns”, and it’s not the mental health issues.
Nearly every other country on earth has those things. And they don’t live this way.
It’s the guns.
@EvaKoolfella@JoJoFromJerz Appreciate you explaining your stupidity… Trans is not a uniquely American thing. I’m a Canadian and I happen to know five people in a relatively small town that I live in.
Every year on the anniversary of D-Day, French citizens take sand from Omaha Beach and rub it onto the gravestones of fallen soldiers to create a golden shine. They do this for all 9,386 American soldiers buried there.
@RetroAgent12 1. The border is secure, despite libs blocking illegal criminals deportation.
2. Our money is no longer being laundered through Ukraine.
3. Trans grooming is being erased little by little so that children are safe.
4. Our police, little by little, are going back to being able
"If we sell 10 million, which is possible ... that’s $50 trillion. That means our debt is totally paid off, and we have $15 trillion above that."
President Trump says the new 'gold card' visa program could wipe out U.S. debt.
@NanaimoNewsNOW That is the root of the issue. Bloated, inefficient, entitled crown corp that literally loses $100's of millions picketing a free market corp that dies if it doesn't make money. Get a clue

@fedupMolly17@ProjectLincoln Protection from who? The US is the enemy of most of the world. Canada has no enemies.
Trust me… we don’t want you, need you or anything!
