Ottowa, like Vancouver, is in Canada. A land where subjects are unarmed, and
criminals are armed.


Which miraculously results in a lot fewer people being murdered.

That wouldn't be a very clever remark even if the incident had
occured in America, which it didn't.

According to the Canadian government (the Registry) there are 1.9 million
registered gun owners in Canada and there are 7,158,114 registered guns.
Two different think tanks estimate the number of gunowners at between 3 to 5
million and the number of guns at between 12 to 18 million, 18 million being
the more probable figure.

Why don't you watch your mouth. Is the concept of discussion without
spewing insults something that is beyond you?
