Realtor shot in Vancouver's sixth homicide of 2018 - British Columbia - CBC News
Great link.
Shows Vancouver homicides rising from 8 in 2012 to 19 last year!
How many in a similar sized US city?
650 in Chicago last year - which is good progress for them!
Now we need to figure out which is more ....19 or 650?
Goodall live on CBC now announcing new measures.
Only to a goose-stepping brownshirt.
BTW, did you notice what happened in Maryland?
On site good guy with a gun killed the shooter.
2 wounded, shooter dead.
A lot better than 17 dead, huh?
Or don't you think so?
no i don't think another school shooting is good news.
then again I'm not a ****ing moron.
You wouldn't have school shooters every two weeks if that culture had not been poisoned with the idea that everyone, everwhere should be armed. It is another symptom of "terminal illness" that another crazy shooter got a weapon. The solution is not to gun down shooters every time they pop up, every couple of weeks but it is to wind down the whole out-of control gun culture.
Maybe, we need to start by locking up the terminally angry ones, deeply entitled ones that INSIST that you will only take away their weapons over their dead bodies.
Neither you nor I live in Chicago, nor any American city for that matter. What happens down there has no bearing what-so-ever on what happens here in BC. In case you thought it did.
Ah.......poor Ralph..........he used to be someone I could respect........now he is just another puppet dancing to the tune of Mr Dress-Up. Sad that.
I don't believe you, on either count.
I think you would be perfectly happy to stand on a pile of dead kids, as long as it meant the state got more power over the individual, and stricter gun control was enacted.
As for being a ****ing moron, you've proven that you are a ****ing moron over and over and over again.

You mean anyone that has actually read and understood the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
You see "gentlemen", what we are discussing is not idealistic, moronic and unconstitutional legislation meant to set off a Civil War, and that will not prevent anything.............what is needed is realistic, intelligent, and constitutional solutions to the problem.
Read carefully
You can not ban and collect 300 million guns (or even 8 million AR 15s) from people that will not surrender them.
So, you gotta get real, and the way to protect your kids in school is harden the target. That means access control, and it means armed resistance to those that manage to get in.
I would think this was obvious to anyone capable of linear thought.
I mean, this is the way we protect MONEY, for crying out loud, why why why would we not do at the very minimum the same to protect our children?

Since some people want to ban firearms especially those that cause the most death, I thought we should apply that to cars also.....

You own any of these cars, you are shit out of luck....
Even if you don't, beware if you meet one or one drives near you...:lol:

This has to be posted again.
It's a rush to point fingers and start arguments. Waldo gets to blame guns - inanimate objects - instead of being concerned with the person who did the shooting, or the victims.
So let's take away the guns! Okay, but the mentally ill don't care about that. And they are still mentally ill. The guns didn't make them that way. So what do mentally ill people do if they cannot get guns? Well, history has shown that they do other things to inflict pain and death. They start buildings on fire. They drive cars through malls or school zones. They poison people. They stab people.
Oddly, the liberal crowd has never cried out to ban cars, or demand mental health checks on potential drivers. Matches and lighters are available at corner stores. Poison is available everywhere.
Demanding that firearms must be banned won't change a thing. Three generations of us have grown up with violence on television, primarily police shows. Law and Order shows murder victims, dead people on slabs at the morgue, and urban shoot outs.
Video games using firearms are very popular. Kill enough people and destroy enough buildings and equipment and you win. Grand Theft Auto takes kids onto the streets smashing into people and other cars. There's a lot of destruction in that game.
Children are being programmed from an early age to be desensitized to acts of violence. Whether it's television or video games, it must be confusing to them. Players can kill at will, but come alive again after a time out. No one feels the pain or stress of an actual murder when they are watching TV or playing Nintendo. They have no problems with violence until they come face to face with it for real.
When they do, they react. They are horrified, hurt and angry that this could happen to them. And in typically human fashion, they look for someone or something to blame. Blaming to person who committed these heinous acts isn't enough.
Blaming the perp is never enough. They need to blame others. They have to push their pain into everyone's face. Someone has to be held accountable. Firearms are responsible. Not enough police is responsible. A broken home did it. But most of all, it's firearms. They are an easy mark. They are very easy to blame. They don't fight back.
So, to stop the violence, the police, guns and a lousy life are to blame. Mental illness might be mentioned, but no one demands that more effort has to be made to make people better. Just get rid of the guns, put more cops on the street and get after parents to be better at child rearing. That will make it all better.

Maybe, your entitling and self-serving interpretation of the US Bill of Rights and Constitution are wrong.
Damned glad that a provisions allowing the violent and selfish to purchase the power to kill humans were not made in our Constitution. I doubt very much if the authors of the US documents meant the outcomes that they are reaping, now. Those founding fathers were not idiots, even if their successors turned out to be.
If we had some peanut butter, we could make a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich, if we had some jelly.
A double header. Waldo, why do you get off on the pain of others? You need to talk to someone about the delight you seem to feel when these things happen.
Yeah, that too.
You can taste the collapse.
It sticks to the roof of your mouth.
Let us know when we have less than 10X the population and 10X the money y'all have.
Assuming we do, you do realize it'll be the biggest disaster Canaduh's ever suffered, right?
Possibly so. We need a wall, and fast!
By the way, this thread is about a Canadian firearms bill proposal. What lured you out of your bunker in Maryland to post about it, anyway?
Your stupid off-topic post about the U.S. Supposed to be about Canaduh's firearms bill, remember?
