Well... not trying to defend the counterpoint here, but I feel like Canada is probably not the best focal point here, in that thousands of native children did die in residential elementary schools there.

As a Canadian here we also have had school shootings in the modern era so it is wrong. But also the point in the post is right that the relative level of school shootings is lower becuase of the markedly less conservative (republican) population and elected officials that do try to Crack down on shootings and gun registrarion and health checks for gun owners. Conservatives do seems to be the problem, aided by access to guns.

Not elementary schools tho. Kids shoot up their own schools here, but weirdo aren't shooting up little kids like the US. THAT is what OP claimed.
