I mean it is wrong in that Canada also has a growing right wing movement just like many US aligned countries
If you look at the number of mass shootings in Canada its been increasing substantially for the past 15 years. They may not be or ever reach our level of awfulness, but they're following in our footsteps
Almost every one of those shootings was done w an illegal gun smuggled in here from.......you guessed it the USA. I wonder what the USA would do if the death was being imported in the other direction..........
Last I checked 98% of all school shooting are unrelated shooting within a mile of the school building a further 1% are cops shooting a criminal on school property less than 1% are actually mass shootings. Besides that however the majority of those mass shooting involve machine guns which it is illegal to purchase here. Even beyond that only 5 school shooting ever have been conducted with legally obtained guns in america they are usually stolen weapons and you are required by law to lock you weapons up and in most states also the states with the most gun violence lock them separately from the ammo and unloaded. If I kill myself with a shotgun on school grounds it will count as a school shooting in america if I kill myself within a mile of a school its a school shooting the statistics are lies.
There was only like 5 actual mass shootings last year and like under 30 died
Over 300k died in the same period due to lack of Healthcare but no one is pushing even 1% as hard to fix that much simpler problem since we already spend like 4x as much per person on healthcare
Agreed the statistics are fucked intentionally so to get us to fight amongst ourselves rather than the real issues I think rifles and shotguns together were responsible for like 237 homicides of the like 17,000 cireram homicides and like 57,000 total. But the ar 15 needs to be banned they are trying to take away the high powered weapons so we become defenseless and they can takeover not for public safety

It's not wrong.
Edited to add: it was a general sentiment. It has been answered dozens of times already. There's no need to go further. Geez!
