Oh, but it's not the guns. It's mental health, family issues, moon phases, or liberal values -- but certainly not the fact that we have the most guns on the planet that causes us to have by far the most homicides on the planet.

Kids in Canada don't have to practice active shooter drills at school or worry they'll be unalived. Ironically, I had a pew-pew held to my head during an armed robbery, working in a children's bookstore in Vancouver, BC, on March 1, 1999!

They do. We did it at the college where I was teaching. But nobody worried about it happening, like the fire drills in our fireproof building.
