So now after years of Canadian police blaming victims of theft of not securing their stuff, they now want you to leave your stuff unsecured. Cool, Cool, Cool cool…

    Wait, I thought we got rid of all the handguns? How are the criminals still getting them? Oh right…

      “The U.S. has the 28th-highest rate of deaths from gun violence in the world: 4.31 deaths per 100,000 people in 2021. That was more than seven times as high as the rate in Canada, which had 0.57 deaths per 100,000 people — and about 340 times higher than in the United Kingdom, which had 0.013 deaths per 100,000”

      Who cares who has guns if you’re more likely to survive when they’re banned? I personally prefer to live.

        Why does everyone make it about the US? I don’t want to always compare to the broken wreck anymore.

        And guns are not banned in Canada, in fact as per civilian guns per capita Canada is number 7 in the world with one firearm for every 3 people or so.
