People that support simplistic solutions fail to consider the unintended consequences of those policies. Gun free zones are in many cases where the worst mass shootings take place and why wouldn't they be? Only the criminals have guns. Banning guns or drugs for that matter haven't stopped crime or drugs.
In Canada we have the village idiot Justin Trudeau set to crack down on target shooters by banning handguns for those that follow the rules, get a permit and safety training and have a license. The sad part is that the gang shooting problem that continues to get worse will not be affected in any way by this policy.
If they really wanted to stop gang shootings they could do this overnight by providing a legal supply for the sale of now illegal drugs. They already legalized cannabis and the sky didn't fall. And the rampant problem of rental houses being used for grow ops has disappeared because, there's no incentive for anyone to do it any longer. Those ruling us are so void of any common sense they can't piece this together that the shootings are being caused by gangs fighting over the drug trade, the problem isn't target shooters that follow the rules.
The reality is that JT and his WEF handlers aren't trying to reduce crime or shootings. They just want the public as docile and helpless as possible for the next time they bring in mercenaries and trample old women with horses for having the gall to say no to injections of unsafe vaccines just to be able to work.
I don't look a great deal at what is going on in Canada, no offense of course, but the stories that I do see seem pretty frightening to me. When is Trudeau up for re-election and do people actually want that guy to stay in power? Do you have a situation similar to ours here in USA where the people in big cities have a very different mindset than the rest of the populace?
No offense taken as this is a world wide issue. Some countries have more rights than others, some are required to perform military service and own firearms. This is a culture issue to a degree which is ignored by prohibition proponents because there are countries with high firearms ownership and low gun crime that are often ignored.
It is scary here in the last few years in Canada as the veil has been lifted and the pubic has been show that this isn't much of a democracy. The government that has taken power with a minority of actual votes is able to suspend our constitutional rights and impose dictates/mandates without any real process through parliament.
There is a massive disconnect between those that have some ability to think for themselves and recognize that something is deeply wrong as our rights are stripped away and those that lap up without question everything the government funded main stream media presents to them.
The sick part about it is that the government is more concerned with virtue signaling and pretending they are doing something about gun violence to the msm crowd of ignorant supporters than actually doing anything that will reduce crime and violence but this is where we are at in Canada.
I recall an interview or a Q and A with Trudeau where he stopped someone mid question to correct them because they said "mankind." Trudeau insisted the word to use there was "person-kind" or something weird like that. The crowd cheered when he said this too. Afterwards I think he just danced around the actual question and didn't answer it at all anyway.
