Canada- another van kills 7 so far

[John V]

How did he get a gun in Canadia?

[Amarok]

Guns get through. Not a ton of guns but they sometimes do . Just like cocaine gets into the "Merica" despite "the war on drugs"

How did he get a gun in Canadia?

Oh, we can get guns up here.  In fact, I used to have a Firearms Acquisition Certificate when I was doing target shooting in the late 1980s or so, but decided I didn't want a gun of my own in the house.  (If I could have stored it at the range instead, that would have been different.)

[Amarok]

I'm guessing the perps gun likely  isn't registered though . But your right we do have guns . I own one i keep it locked away in  storage.

[Amarok]

All too often we focus on the perp in these cases. I want to take a least one post to give a face to the victims . Here are two of them.


Anne Marie D'Amico she was the first victim identified . She was a investment manager and a tennis player who had won tournaments  .She died on the way to work . 


This Dorothy Sowell she was 80 years old and a Blue Jays fanatic . She lives in BC but was visiting family in Toronto . She died after going to the bank .

just heard on the radio that the killer said "I'm sorry"

OK, no worries, as long as you're OK, try not to do it again.

I think I saw that he pointed his cell phone at the cop and then wanted suicide by cop stating "just shoot me in the head".

I have to say that whatever the conglomeration of all the people associated with the English, Canadians, NZ, Oz, and whomever I am leaving out, your police are more than just a cut above what we have in the US.
