Almost 1 year ago,
On April 1819, 2020, Gabriel Wortman committed multiple shootings in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people and injuring three others.
This was our last mass shooting.
We banned assault rifles right after this.

(11,563 posts)Short-barrelled pistols are also banned. I inherited a German officer's WW2 sidearm (a JP Sauer and Sohns, forerunner to Sieg Sauer) and had to get rid of it. Even the ammunition is illegal, which seems reasonable.

(2,948 posts)So tired of hearing about mass shootings being the price we pay for our freedoms.
(stoopidest logic Ive ever heard)
What about the freedom to not worry about what the next gun nut will do.

(81,260 posts)Too high a price.
And usually, if me could argue, a price is something you pay in exchange for something - ONCE. and HOW MANY TIMES have we had to pay for freedom in this particular exchange?
How many broken hearts, broken families, motherless children, fatherless children, widows and widowers have we bargained away for this freedom?
I dont think the price tag is worth this so-called freedom.
I dont think the price tag is worth ANYTHING.
