I used to be anti-gun, until I found out that Canadians own guns at the same rate as TEXANS. We Americans are losing our fucking minds. We’re kept at each other’s throats to distract us from the fact that the 1% are fucking us all over.
I don’t understand. Are you assuming every person in California is a Democrat and every person in Texas is a Republican? Those are the most populous states in the country. You are looking at a huge chunk of the country, of course they both have tons of guns. Every state has tons of guns.
The stat that I had read was that on average Texans own guns at a rate of 4 per person, so for every person that doesn’t own any, there has to be someone taking up the slack. The joke is that Texans are a distillation of what America is to the rest of the world: loud, obnoxious, and absolutely sure they’re right.
The point I was trying to make is that even though Canadians own a shitload more guns per capita, they have far less gun violence than us.
The ONLY way to this could have been Prevented was if the Officer SHOT the gunman First before he could KILL anyone! And the only way the Officer could have known there was a Crazy Murderous Gunman afoot was if he simply SHOT everyone in the store! Therefore Police should be able to Murder people without cause.
