That's my entire point, we don't need to change things here because of what's happening down south. America absolutely needs to increase gun control, but in Canada things are fine the way they are.
Look at the shootings we unfortunately do have in Canada. They're mostly small caliber rifles you can get at Canadian Tire with a non-restricted license, or pistols. Why are we wasting time talking about the big guns that aren't the problem? It's just a feel good activity that wouldn't actually achieve much, promoted by politicians that don't understand the issue that are just looking at a lazy solution for the free brownie points.
If we were to talk about further restrictions on who can get a gun license in the first place, and restricting pistols even further, and even restricting magazine sizes to just 1, I'm absolutely 100% behind that.
But can we stop blaming ARs for completely made up reasons?
