87. Canada is generally sane -- America is not -- that's the comparison....
What are the numbers of deaths now by shooting every year here -- ?

Among how many shootings -- ?

It's close to 100,000 shootings, as I recall --


But given the cost, refusal of most provinces to enforce the long gun registry part of it, court challenges, and has it reduced crime or reduced the black market for guns in the past 15 years or are Canadians just pissing money trust in their government for security theater?


Who said any of that?

How much does 100,000 shootings and the thousands of deaths every year benefit us?

What are the costs of that -- and why shouldn't the guy lobby and the gun manufacturing

industry pay for those woundings/deaths --

In fact, why don't we force gun owners to be insured in case of injury to another party.
