Most likely blame Trump for causing all this by losing a rigged election.
And again... (Another US Shooting)

Not in Canaduh. This just came about in the last couple of weeks. Being too drunk(high) to know what you are doing is now a legit defence in some instances. The article I read didn't go on to explain the instances.
Yep, but the Libshits have decided their "science" beats common sense.
Some years ago in Canada a Liberal govt tried this crap before. The fact that drunk drivers could potentially use it as a justifiable defence is what put the kibosh on it.
Couldn't agree more.
Heh-heh. This is Monty Python level silliness.
"Your lordship, my client cannot be held responsible for driving drunk because he was too drunk to be legally responsible. And this parrot is dead."
"Your lordship, my client cannot be held responsible for driving drunk because he was too drunk to be legally responsible. And this parrot is dead."
Yeah, but at least Monty Python's silliness was entertaining and funny. This govt is just a pathetic joke.
Elect a clown, expect a circus.
At this point, it seems to me (once again loudly declaring I have no say and no skin in the game, just watching the show) Poilievre is your best hope.
It's the circus freaks on the left that keep stupidly electing a Canada-hating Quebec nationalist because political ideology trumps reality and common sense while words mean more than actions and behaviour.
The good news is the gun is likely to find a nice, comfy adoptive home and loving family.
(Many police departments in the U.S. auction off seized guns.)

Interesting. Do you think you could "talk someone down" who is armed and walking into a school or mall who has the explicit, determined intent of killing as many people as possible?
I completely understand that in the interest of ignorant simplicity, many people focus on the gun when something like this happens. No doubt...it's very easy and convenient to blame a tool designed to kill for the carnage when this happens. It's almost as easy as the president standing up an hour later and addressing the nation while the bodies are still warm to politically divide people instead of uniting them and deliver tired old political talking points to try and grab more power and control over good people who are hurting. But these empty platitudes and partisan political maneuvers won't help the problem, not a bit. Someone with intent like this will absolutely find a gun, whether it be legally obtained or illegally... or in the absence of a gun will use a vehicle, a knife, a can of gasoline and a match...or any number of options available to carry out their task.
Serryah...I'm genuinely interested to know what you think the real problem is, and what you see might move us to a solution.
Texas shooting: 19 children among dead in primary school attack
Nineteen children are shot dead by a teenage gunman, who is himself killed by law enforcement.www.bbc.com
But after Sandy Hook...
Who cares, move along.
(and for some idiots here, that's sarcasm)
I would not have thought it was anything but sarcasm, believe me.
The question is, what do you do about it?
If two school shootings involving kids under ten isn't a sign to 'move to a solution', then there IS no desire to move anyone to a solution.
So I'll just go back to "Move along, nothing to see here, kids died, so what, who cares" because that is the prevailing general thought to a lot of those in the US (or, well, a lot of more monied people in the US anyway and they are all that count nowadays).
Nothing. It's become a culture-war issue. Republicans will accept no restrictions on guns other than those that already exist, and will try to eliminate them.
What would make sense would be for Democrats to offer a nationwide concealed-carry permit, with stringent conditions to get one.

At what point anywhere in the above list was it "time" to "do something about it"?
Nowhere, because it's still happening.
Exactly.
Sure, but to do that they'd either have to have Biden go alone with an Executive Order and see it challenged right away, most likely, or make it a 'law' and the Dems don't have a chance in Hell because, Republicans.
The chance they had was during Obama's tenure, they didn't take it, and they are as much as at fault as the R's for this.
Okay, so you are unable or unwilling to identify the problem or put forward any potential solution... only offer a rhetorical sarcastic criticism of the lack of caring and action by others. Not much help...but I honestly don't blame you. It's a complex and difficult problem, isn't it?
I've got a practical solution that would permit ownership of guns and meet all the reasonable desires of gun owners and would-be gun owners, whilst still making huge dents on both mass shootings and the instrument of about 95% of all gun homicides in the U.S. (handguns).
Why bother? The chances of passing it are slim and none, and Slim left town.
As I said above, it's become a culture-wars issue. Everybody's yelling, nobody's listening.
Solved illegal immigration, too. Nobody cares about that either.
Yeah, why bother? It's not like having rational practical discussion in a functioning democracy will do any good. It's just not worth the effort.
Besides, it's much more self-satisfying to jump on the internet and screech and complain about it, now that's progress.
