    Deaths by firearm, per 100,000 people, are about 1/7 the number in Canada as it is in America.

    America has over 200 school shootings a year. 2024 saw a near record with 330 school shootings.

    Canada? 6 in its entire history. To get to the grand total of 9, you would have to include post-secondary institutions.

    If you truly want to “think about the children”, firearm control comes wwwaaaaaaayyyyy before banning books and taking away lunches.
