.........People will remember Robb Elementary when it comes time to vote in November
........ Canada recently had a mass murder event. They are proposing eliminating all Civilian HANDGUNS and MILITARY STYLE long guns. That may or may not pass, but it shows that Canadians are FED UP with mass murders, school shootings, and gang-generated crime. It also shows that they are attacking the ROOT CAUSE of deadly crime.........the GUN. They are not FOOLED by politicians trying to DEFLECT the blame towards mental health and away from the GUN. They may not be as influenced by a gun lobby like the NRA in the US. I hope that they succeed like Australia, New Zealand, and other countries have in the past. Funny to see Canada being more innovative and seriously trying to seek a solution, while the US lags behind, acting like some 3rd world, violent, corrupt, and dead-end nation!
