My condolences to La Loche, Saskatchewan

School should be a place of learning, not bloodshed. I'm sorry that wasn't the case today. Stay strong.

So sorry. Interesting the difference in attitudes though. I saw one post on Facebook that "even four is too many" when you haven't had a mass shooting since what, 1989? And here it's just like *shrug*. It sucks. Four is too many. :-(

Thanks. Four is too many, absolutely. We've had a few mass shootings since 1989 (although thankfully none as bad as the Polytechnique massacre that year) but yeah nothing nearly close to American levels of gun violence. I attribute that to our more restrictive gun laws. Its a lot harder to get guns in general and certain classes like handguns and assault rifles in particular.
