I see more rhetoric suggesting that Ottawa wants to ban all guns. This is an old technique used to motivate diverse parts of the gun community to oppose firearms legislation. See "Guns and Conspiracy Theories in Canada" in @ActiveHist #cdnpoli ...#BillC21 https://activehistory.ca/2021/02/guns-and-conspiracy-theories-in-canada/
Islamophobia was the motive. Guns licenced to the killer were the means. Both issues need to be addressed. We stand with the survivors who also support #BillC21 and its reasonable measures. https://twitter.com/BradMBradford/status/1619689517874651137

And it remains true that you are much more likely to be shot by a person with a gun licence than by a non-gang-affiliated, non-licensed person.
That's because the main difference between those groups is ... wait for it ... that people who don't own... guns don't own guns.

We would argue that there is a huge difference between "none" and "hardly any"... when it comes to MASS SHOOTINGS, especially from the perspective of survivors & victims' families (plus there have been more than "hardly any" in 🇨🇦) ...#BanAssaultWeapons #BillC21 #LetsNotFollowTheUSA
What many miss is what's at beginning of paragraph: only models whose muzzle energy surpasses 10000 joules are banned (=able to pierce military vehicles).

@TheHardhead13 @Polysesouvient These mass shootings are... "hardly any" to you?
Six mass shooting events over 20 yrs are "hardly any" to you?
How many mass shooting events do you think we have in Canada, sir?
How many would be okay calling ..."hardly any"?
...WOWZERS, you are just the worst kind of human
@Polysesouvient And what @SweetBeakz doesn't understand is it's not a snapshot of the past that concerns us, it's the future trajectory. There's no point in waiting until Canadian mass-shooting events come to mirror US events. The time to get off ...the US trajectory is now, while we still can.
Hard to understand why @CPC_HQ thinks that this is a winner. Right after 33 mass shooting in USA. I don't get it. https://twitter.com/PierrePoilievre/status/1617657280408817664
@NevesPhilip @NoGunsInCanada @Jump5312 @BeaverXbtc @RBlakeBrown Gun control doesn't stop all instances of gun violence and no one has ever claimed that it would. However the very strong Japanese gun control still works. Gun deaths are 28 times ...higher in Canada than Japan.
Remind me again on how America doesn’t have a gun problem?
Luckily here in Canada, we have a leader who doesn’t want the same shit to occur on Canadian soil.
Cheers!
California Gov. Gavin Newsom sat down with Brandon Tsay to express our gratitude for his courageous actions stopping the #MontereyPark shooter.
…and he did it without a gun and didn’t shoot the man once disarming him.
Brandon is a true ...American hero. 🇺🇸 https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1617691436849430528
Should assault rifles and high capacity magazines be banned?
Limiting access to weapons with that can kill many people at once is low-hanging policy fruit. It won't end gun violence in America - not even close. But these policies can reduce mass shooting risk without relying on predicting the next shooter, ...which simply is not working. (5/)
This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Monterey Park.
Ming Wei Ma was a dance instructor & owner of the Star Dance Studio. He was described as a caring person with a selfless nature. He was the first to rush ...towards the shooter to try & save others.

"Gun ban exemptions for sport, hunting and & collecting are on the table" says Yukon MP @drbrendanhanley. OK for guns reasonnably used for #hunting. But why exempt target shooting & collecting?

We often see this: calls for measures such as limits on ammunition purchases, without consideration for actual use cases or how such a measure could be implemented in the real world.
