BC shooting

I thought these things only happen only in the US or in big cities.


RIP and condolences to the families.
 
Very sad indeed.

Apparently he killed his family then went to the school :(. Slowly things are coming out that the shooter was a woman then we hear it was a trans woman (a man), but I am curious how they will round this corner of their mental illness.

I am also curious if it had a valid rPAL/PAL and if the firearm used was legal or illegal
Anything used to kill or injure someone is an illegal weapon.
 
Uncle and other family confirm trans woman. Whatever, nutjob shooter commits mass murder. The government will crack down on legal guns, again and again. And never address the mental illness aspect. Be it mass murder by knife, car, truck, machete etc.. like everywhere in our world including here, it`s mental illness, including religious extremists. What inane plan will Carney and Gary the chipmunk present over this horrible tragedy. Hint...pssst, it won`t be about mental illness and dealing with it. That would take serious hard work and commitment.
and I repeat again. 80% of gun deaths in Canada are suicides. I'm guessing the other 20% are 50/50 hate or drug related.

Ban ALL guns and the 80% jump off bridges, in front of trains, OD etc.

As a kid I came close to being shot due to a careless storage issue. He missed.

The closest gunshot murder I can relate to is two degrees of separation, The cousin of a co worker, a murder cover-up by the OPP.

Suicides:

A kid my wife and I babysat drowned himself

The brother of a neighbour I've baked bread for jumped off a bridge

A cousin's boyfriend hung himself because of a break-up.

A client employee, always over-worked, hung himself from an office sprinkler after working the weekend to complete a job.

My daughter lost three friends to suicide in a month, none by firearms.

One of her schoolmates, living a few blocks from us did himself in.

Two happy go lucky electricians I worked with committed suicide.

What have gun bans got to do with saving lives?

P.S. Sometimes a distressed person suddenly becomes happy and at peace. In some cases they have planned their demise and are happy because they know their torment will soon be over.

Like Detective Joe Kenda said.. the other 20% are over money, sex or revenge. What have gun bans got to do with saving lives? Nothing. I`d contact my MP but they never replied after my question last December regarding Carney`s C-8 and C-9 bills. Our government in action. 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕
 
RIP.

Horrifying for all the victims and their families that now deal with the fallout of missing children that will not be coming home.

Hug your loved ones extra hard tonight. You don't know how much time you have left with them.
 
Folks, the incident in BC is a horrible tragedy.

Regardless of your feelings about transgendered individuals, let's keep all discussions civil and remember that there are lots of trans people that do not commit mass shootings and be mindful of keeping these two issues separate.

All trans discussions will be moved to a thread in Politics and will be reviewed later as per forum guidelines.
