He forgot to mention how Highland Park is in Chicago which has among the most stringent gun regulations in America. He was also trying to blame Republicans but forgot to tell you Chicago and for that matter Illinois are Democrat strongholds. Also, best evidence says the Highland Park shooter was a raging lefty.

Nice try on trying to sneak in 2015 through Wiki though. Oh wait...are you trying to sneak in American suicides in 2021, now? You guys...you never get tired of the same old tricks. No matter how many times you get caught at them. Now as to guns being brought in from other cities...be realistic. You'll never get all the guns from all the gun owners in America. Not unless you want a totalitarian federal government kicking down doors at 3 in the morning, and such. Is that what you're hoping for? Even if you succeed you'll still have problems more problems. I still wouldn't be optimistic of your succcess. So where are you with your stricter gun laws then? What do you want that you think would have stopped the Highland Park shooting in Chicaqo? 1 Quote

Try this using your grandpa's bolt action with a 5 round magazine. https://nypost.com/2022/07/04/video-reveals-rapid-fire-gunshots-in-highland-park-parade-shooting/ You can get a .270 magnum semi-auto with a wooden stock right now that fires just as fast as an AR-15, has more power, and shoots straighter than a .556 NATO round like the one that's standard in the AR-15s. It also costs less money, on average. About $1,800 for the .270 mag, the ARs can easily go as high as $2,500, like the IWI Tavor x95. It can carry the same capacity mag as any other "assault-style" rifle that's legal in Canada. You don't need it to kill a deer, but you wouldn't want to go hunting feral hogs with your grandpa's bolt-action .300-calibre rifle. And feral hogs are a thing now in Western Canada. 1 Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.
