Bcause they died,

Then what is the flex if it's not what Dragger thought, rvsask? Since we're talking about gun-related deaths and not being smacked in the eye with an eraser or a fist, here are the odds:

"The annual odds that an American child will die in a mass shooting at school are nearly 10 million to 1" (James Alan Fox, criminologist at Northeastern University).
[sarcasm]Yes, that Northeastern University known for being a bastion of conservative academics and pro-gun research[/sarcasm].

"The odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are less than one in a million" (CDC).

"The vast majority of child and teen gun homicide deaths and unintentional shooting deaths and injuries occur in the home" (Everytown Research and Policy).

Bottomline: Schools in the US are hands down one of the safest places for a child. It should be interesting to see what ambiguity you're going to exploit.

Why do your schools have to have armed guards if they are so safe???
Sorry bub-facts speak loud and clear.

Because we're free to own guns here Boco, and being free means even the nut jobs are free to have guns. If you're fine with giving up your rights to own a pistol, just say so and stop tap dancing around the subject with.....oh, you guys need armed guards at schools.

I get it, you want a nanny state to protect you so you're ok with giving up your guns so you feel "safe".

Because we chose to put them there because social media has everyone looking for their fifteen minutes of fame. That, and come election time there is a flurry of shootings in democratically controlled cities to further push the anti-gun agenda. I figured even a Canadian could figure that one out. Guess I was wrong.

So when election time comes your government shoots its own citizens, thats real freedom

The same question, if Canada is so safe why did Trudeau ban handguns.

Thats to please the vast majority of Canadians who don't own firearms and believe-yes they do believe that this will stop handgun crime-so he'll get their vote-that's how ridiculously stupid people are. It's truly unbelievable that people can be so dumb. This law will do absolutely FA to stop crime-brutal.

Why? Because the teachers can't shoot back and the left proudly advertised such.

Plus, they shut down the nuthouses.

I recall a time teachers were packing, including my own mother and grandparents. Old Doc Crane, a Korea marine, at my junior high saw to it that any lady teacher who wanted to learn to shoot got lessons. Mama bought her's when dad shipped out to Nam. Doc Crane said of my mama that was one lady not to stand downrange of and he didn't have to teach her anything.
Doc toted a 1911 and everyone knew it. There was also Mama Vines at that school, we all called her mama, she packed a 357.

Your the one who needs armed guards nannys too protect your kids not here.
Its pathetic where you are at.
You shouldnt worry about Canada all the time and try to clean up your mess that has everyone living in fear there-that aint freedom bub.

In 4 seconds with a stroke of a pen Trudeau banned handguns and Canadians couldn’t do anything about it. It’s coming soon with another stroke of a pen rifles and shotguns will be outlawed in Canada. Dictators don’t stop halfway. The sad part is Canadians will not be able to do anything about it. Thankfully, we have the Second Amendment in the good ol’ USA and we can at least fight it, Canadians can’t and will just watch helplessly as all their gun privileges are completely destroyed.

Bobo and folks like him just don't get it. We as Americans codified a fundamental truth of the universe in our Supreme Law aka the Constitution. The truth that all human life has an innate right to self preservation and the means to do so.

In Bobos universe his own life is not sacred or sacrosanct. It can be taken at will by those in power.

They're so safe because they have ARMED guards? Does that work for you, Boco?

Seriously though, we don't need armed guards in our schools because the facts/data don't support the imagined crisis – it doesn't exist. Your child is ten times more likely to be struck by lightning than to be killed in a school shooting.

Unfortunately, public policy here in the US and Canada is driven by mainstream media hysteria in collaboration with corrupt politicians around the globe. Equally unfortunate are those who consume this hysteria like drug addicts looking for their next fix from their CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes et al. drug dealers.

Canada is way down the list on gun-related death rates compared to other countries -- around number 30 on the list give or take. Your Queen, however, believes it's imperative to go on gun banning spree because of the out-of-control gun violence in your country. Has something changed in your country, Boco, to warrant such a radical response? If so, what is it?

The US doesn't even make the top ten on that same list. But you'd never know that because most media reporting on the subject use raw totals rather than rates. Why? Because denominators in an equation tend to collapse narratives pretty quickly. It looks better to report total deaths than to take population size as a crucial part of the picture. They played these same games with COVID too.

In any event Boco, I honestly don't think you're happy and content with Trudeau's gun banning spree. It seems to me that you feel the need to defend anything Canadian no matter how absurd, especially when Americans have one over on you...

canada=finished, so sad.

Where do you get all that garbage.I have all my guns ,nobody is taking away any of my guns.i can buy and sell all the guns I want and need.
I dont want or need machine guns.
We are free here-you have no concept of freedom and what real freedom is.You are living in fantasyland based on a crutch.

The British Commonwealth is now ruled by a king.

You must be a product of your deficient failure of a school system
We are not ruled by anyone-Canada is a parliamentary democracy.

Me, me, mine. Typical until they do come for you. Selfish leftist willing to stand by and let "those people" be loaded onto the cattle cars. It's not his problem, until it is.

Are you high,lol.

boco, can you go and purchase a new sig 9mm pistol at the store today? yes or no?
