9 dead at Empire State Building
I did a little reading... appears Canada's gun laws aren't all that restrictive beyond the every gun must be registered aspect. So I wouldn't exactly say from where you're sitting is all that different... you just haven't had the amount of crackpots going off as your neighbor."Ya know what they say about angels... An angel is a supernatural being or spirit, usually humanoid in form, found in various religions and mythologies. Plus Roth fan boards..."- ZahZoo April 2013Comment

Johnson used a .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun and was carrying extra ammunition in his briefcase during the attack, according to police. He purchased it legally in 1991 in Florida but did not have a permit to carry the weapon in New York City.
I just read that eight people not nine, were woundedComment

Yay guns indeed...
Then again, in Africa the machete is the weapon of choice. Machete's don't kill people, if you're slow, Mwembe hacks at you until you bleed out.Comment

The primary difference between Canada's laws and the US is you don't have the "gun show" loophole that allows sales without background checks. Your law requires somewhat broader registration criteria... for every weapon. The US law does too... but it didn't grandfather in older weapons. Transport and carry restrictions aren't any different and like yours vary by state or province in your case. Ownership transfer in Canada can be done via the phone... so that's no real deterrent to guns moving among people.
But it isn't the older weapons that have been involved in these high profile mass murders. They've involved legally obtained and registered weapons by individuals that passed the proper background checks... in other words no additional gun controls would have stopped guys like this one or Holmes from having the weapons they used to murder. Odds are real good both would have been able to purchase and possess the same guns in Canada... the only difference is the high volume clips Holmes had but didn't actually use.
For those of you outside the US... the high murder rates are not due to these highly publicized mass shootings. Predominately the most shootings are occurring in our inner cities among young men killing each other over drugs, money or stupid shit. Also it's like 86% Blacks killing other blacks, Hispanics killing other Hispanics and it's not mass shooting of innocent by-standers... in majority of cases it does not cross racial nor socioeconomic boundaries."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

It must be pointed out that the "gun show loophole" actually refers to occasional sellers that may be doing the selling. They congregate at gun shows because that's where the buyers are. All Federal Firearms Licensed dealers must do a background check....yes, even at gun shows.“If bullshit was currency, Joe Biden would be a billionaire.” - George W. BushComment
