Reading Comprehension. . . I said "ISN'T" and issue. You can't lump Mass shootings like this with traditional violent crime because their causes are much different. But they're causes not unique to US, the rampant use of guns are. You say stuff like this in polite company? I'm stating that much of the developed world has it right in regards to gun control and much of the US has it wrong. You're free to disagree. Especially when you share a massive border with a country that has more guns in it than people. Would a wall work?

Lots of stale talking points here. It's funny how in one breath ya'll will say that Batteries contain too many rare earth metals and in a second breath you claim that all those valuable metals will just sit in a landfill and not be recycled. I just did a road trip from the Toronto area to Montreal and need to charge 6 times. I didn't have to wait once. But most EV owners that own a single family home will charge at home for a vast majority of their EV usage.

You don't think those elements of loneliness aren't a reality for people in other countries? Being able to commit mass murder because your lonely seems way more common in the US. Why? Guns! I'm not the one that coined the word Incel. A lot of this violence comes from people who label themselves Incel. The guy who took a rent-a-truck down a Toronto street years ago was an Incel.

As I said, the lack of EV infrastructure is less of a problem because most EV owners have an avenue to recharge at home. Hydrogen definitely has a role to play in the movement away from Fossil Fuels. I think it will be required to decarbonize International Shipping and Commercial Air Travel. We need to bolster Green Electricity first though, because Hydrogen derived from Fossil fuels is somewhat pointless.

Poor Incels. ? Is it really that hard for you guys to get laid?

You're the one saying "It's not the Guns!". So what is it then. Mental Health, Wealth Inequality, Poverty? What sets these types of shootings a part is they often happen in places where poverty or drug use isn't a huge issuu. Well I feel much more comfortable in the level of regulation we have in Canada then what is seen in the US. Of course we're not in America. They have this devotion to guns that most in the rest of the developed world find weird. You could argue there's an element of mental health issues in all crime. But we rarely see such mass casualty type crime like this in places with reasonable gun laws. The issue at hand is a mass shooting. Some dude kills a bunch of random strangers in a public place, usually with some sort of semi-automatic rifle and gads of ammunition. Much of the hand gun crime in Canada happens with smuggled guns from the US. Are you in Canada or the US? Because I was talking about Canada. Is there anywhere in Canada where you can drive around with a loaded sawed-off shotgun?

You don't think other factors that cause violence exist in other countries too? The Guns seems like the thing that sets the US a part. But I'll entertain the idea that wealth inequality certainly contributes to violence. But in incidents like this, it's often in places that don't really have high crime where a lonely, almost always a man, decides to take a bunch of people out with a military style weapon. You started this off with a hissy fit - GUN OWNERS! !!! BAD!!!! LONE WOLF!!!!! MURICA!!!!! Is that a quote or just inane hyperbole? So do you reckon that it's the weapon of choice for these murders? The US did have a ban on Assault Weapons. https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/173405.pdf Loaded and available to shoot? Cite the law that allows for that. Maybe ask yourself why you think it's cool to own a weapon like that.

Yes and gun ownership is highlight regulated. Guns that only really serve a purpose to kill people are largely banned or extraordinarily highly regulated. The type of shootings we largely have in Canada are largely gang related with guns smuggled from the US. You can pinpoint the reason for these crimes to poverty and drugs.

Hogwash, America's murder rate is much higher compared to Canada, Much of Europe and Asia. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/murder-rate-by-country You're being obstinate. I'm attempting to have an honest debate and you're just throwing a hissy fit.

That's why, because most Canadians don't have a gun, and when they do they require some mandated accountability about how to handle it/store it. And also why this particular shooting is big news. Because it's relatively rare. Ditto with any mass shooting in Canada.

Then why do all the countries that regulate gun control have almost no mass shootings? So America needs Universal Healthcare? and a higher overall standard of living? What's unique about many of these incidents is that they often happen in places that largely don't see a lot of crime. See the Parkland shooting as an example. What makes the country so different as to not see an epidemic of gun crime?

That's actually quite big news. Also evidence of why owning a gun makes domestic murder, MORE LIKELY.

Cite. And even if that's the case these "rare" incidents are uniquely a US problem. Deaths like this are completely preventable by regulated these types of weapons. It's a lot easier to kill your partner with a gun in the house. It's also a lot quicker and easier to kill YOURSELF, if for some reason you feel like that's an option for you. Seems like swimming is a more common activity. And public pools have life guards because of this. In the United States they seem to want as little regulation as possible. No Red Flag Laws, No Background Checks, No limitations on who can obtain an assault style weapons. What are some of the convenient ways one could kill dozens of people? Do we see many instances of mass stabbings or mass car incidents in nations with meaningful gun control?

That's a big assumption The retort that this is all about mental health is completely dismissive of the issue at hand. Other countries have people with mental health issues. NO! developed nations has the epidemic of mass casualty shootings that the US does. It's ironic that you use cars as an alternative example of ways he could have killed people, as the ability to drive a car is highly regulated. Imagine the shrieks of 2nd Amendment infringement if gun owners were legally required to obtain insurance. So what's your solution then? Yes compare use of pronouns with gun violence. That makes you seem sensible.

This dude was military trained. These mass shooters come prepared with lots of ammo. You really want to live in a world where you have to be on guard from people like that everywhere you go? If everyone has a hand gun, then maybe these guys can be stopped after the kill a few people, but then you have the problem of everyone having a gun and simple squabbles end in Gun violence. That's where the vast majority of gun violence happens. In the home, because it's there. https://everytownresearch.org/report/guns-and-violence-against-women-americas-uniquely-lethal-intimate-partner-violence-problem/ Or when a child knows where the gun is hidden: https://injepijournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40621-015-0057-0

I think we all do care about that. It's people that shrug events off like this as lone-wolf or completely unpreventable that don't care. Just the cost of living in Murika, the country of freedom. This will keep happening until Americans highly restrict the use of High-powered semi-automatic weapons. Or assault rifles if you will.

This good guy vs bad guy with a gun goes out the window when the bad guy seems to always have these high-powered rifles when they decide to kill many people. I want to go Bowling on a Wednesday night but better take my Military style weapon incase someone who wants to go out in a blaze of glory shows up. The natural end-point of this logic is expecting that everyone is armed with military style weapons. Hand guns are bad enough but when presented with a guy with a high calibre semi-automatic weapon, you're outgunned.

Sure and those cars exist, with limited infrastructure. I don't know of any places that support Hydrogen Cars in Canada. But honestly. Being able to charge your car at home, when you can, is a game changer. I don't think I'd go back. Where Hydrogen is sold as a fuel source for a car, there isn't much of a savings.

Extracting it is energy intensive and usually requires a fossil fuel source, which is counter productive. If Hydrogen can be produced using green sources, it becomes a viable option.

The Trial hasn't started. She did submit a statement that she regrets the whole thing.

The sight of adults on silly Electric Scooters has risen exponentially.

I think you've invented the Bus. People won't sacrifice the convenience of a private vehicle unless forced to.

Or mandating Remote work were possible. Having Rent-a-Cars available for given trips only works if their availability matches high commuting times. I have to drop my kids off at the sitter/school and head to work in another town at 7:30 am. How does that get done by an automated car considering most of the population is likely doing the exact same thing at the same time.

I don't think it's particularly controversial to ask for a cite on these two claims.

She was doing the media circuit, on behalf of Trum, during the court challenges. I'd like to see how Trump claims he's never met her.
