    It's disgusting. They claim multiple shooters, one was wasted by the cops and the other coward wasted himself..more are assumed out there.
    Stix and Stones may break my bones, but More than Words will never hurt me.

    i'm not making light. you must be new here. the canadians are very clear that america should ban guns so the US would be free from crime like them; and how much more civilized they are.
    i am mearly pointing out to them an instance where handguns do exist in canada and a law will not eradicate them.

    We are hardly free from crime and no clear thinking Canuck would claim we are more civilized than America.

    so you are new here. welcome. i'm sorry if i insulted you or seemed insensative to the issue. that wasn't my goal. i just point out handgun crime in canada after being told by so many that there are no handguns in canada.
    i didn't mean any disrespect.

    Guns exist everywhere, if someone is determined enough to get their hands on one. Plain and simple.

    The families of those who have been affected are in my thoughts.

    Well, I think the Canadian government orchestrated this.

    How's that sit with people?

    He/She will never find one...what has been discussed and argued in the past is the accessability and requirements to get a hand-gun in the USA compared to Canada...where in the latter it is much more difficult (legally) to own and possess a hand-gun......no one has ever said we have no hand-guns in this country.....

    However, back to the original post, very tragic to hear these types of stories, regardless of their location. Kids should never have to deal with this type of madness while attending school, a complete shame.

    It's quite amazing how people can take a current situation, twist it, warp it, and turn it into something completely different just so they can feel witty for a few moments. When are we going to be able to discuss a situation without people attacking each other? Also, when the hell are we going to be able to discuss something without someone who actually thinks they have such a profound saying that is going to just completely stun the people they can not agree that they just HAVE to throw it out there. Guess what. Whenever I feel like picking a fight with someone I keep it to myself and try to address the point at hand. Why don't more of you try it.

    People should probably show a little bit more sensitivity rather than saying,''I told you so.''

    Man, I hate reading this type of stuff ... And I agree ... Gun laws won't stop this sort of thing. However, I don't know why that's always people's reaction on this board. Usually its someone clamouring for more controls, this time it was someone making the correct point, but its still insensitive.

    I don't want you to name names....leave it out of the quote if you want. Search "hand gun Canada" and see if you can find one. I highly doubt it. RIC summed it up.

    jsand - if there were friends of the Canadian government making oodles of money off of this, I’d be willing to look at anything you put before me to try and prove it. But there are no benefits for anyone in this situation, so your cheapshot regarding 9/11 is disrespectful to both situations.

    It is certainly disrespectful, but that's what happens when I get bombarded with this conspiracy theory nonsense on a daily basis about an event that I lived through and deeply affected me. It was a cheap shot, and I do apologize to those I offended. Just trying to make some people taste their own bitter medicine.

    Way to rise above. When I want to get away from conspiracy theories I turn off my tv and computer.

    i apologised for my insensative approach earlier but i wanted to point out that laws are only for the law abiding. one of the remarks made to me was "leave your guns at the border because there are no handguns in canada". that was one of the nicer remarks. the thread got ugly and i was challenged to prove handgun violence in canada. this was my chance and i took it. the two main offenders know who they are and we'll leave it at that.
