Mark Carney is not a US politician. There’s no reason he should be putting out a statement on Charlie Kirk’s death.

This isn’t a gun policy debate (at least I’m not intending it to be). Just wanted to make sure I understand the proposition bc it seems like these tools all have different deployment modes, effective ranges, etc. And it just kinda seems to me that the purpose built solution is gonna be better

I suppose, going forward, it is both reasonable and appropriate to ask unrestrained gun ownership advocates whether they are willing to die as Charlie did for their belief. Get a picture of him slouched over after being shot and ask them "is that a cost you can accept?"
