I wish people would get this. I think our gun laws are entirely reasonable and only wish the educational process involving owning and using firearms would be promoted a lot more, but lets not get all 1984 by self imposing a totalitarian state because of one incident. The US has clearly shown that it won't change a damn thing in the end.
As CaptainCrunch said, once we know where the gun came from, then it's time to have the conversation. I do feel that Canadian gun laws are currently sufficient, but if this guy had recently purchased that weapon (which we don't know right now), then we need to have a conversation.
