    It just, it makes absolutely no sense why it seems easier to get a gun than a drivers license or a case of beer (from the outside looking in, I realize this may not be true).

    And after things like this happen, the IMMEDIATE dismissal of any sort of gun reform by politicians is bonkers. Like, you could still say "you know what this is worth looking in to" and then just say no later on. But the rush to just dismiss any firearm restrictions.... it's inexcusable.

    the lack of reporting on it speaks to the infrequency of it, not that the media is purposely suppressing all the successful "good guy with gun" events

    There is no requirement to be in a common law marriage or similar relationship to own a firearm in Canada. There is only the requirement to obtain signatures of those with whom you have been in such relationships in the last 2 years as one of several sanity checks on whether or not an applicant should be approved.

    Just clearing this up before y'all start spreading rumours down there "hey did ya know you gotta actually be FUCKING someone in Canada to even own a gun? they're crazy up there!"

    To JC's point about it being a failure of the dems (not that I agree in absolving anyone on the other side from not caring at all) to get reasonable gun control passed, this old article provides a nice framework:

    I mean good for her she is a hero, but do you work in a newsroom and know why these stories are not on the front page of the NYT? Me neither, just speculating too. But if newsrooms just published the story to show how guns are good, isn't that biased reporting? No innocent people died, just a criminal. If that criminal killed a bunch of people THEN the lady shot him, it's then national news IMO.

    Yep, and it's likely because domestic violence is heavily correlated with using guns to injure others.

    As of this moment, k-12 students in the United States are more likely to be fatally shot than on-duty police officers.

    2022 number of dead cops: 20
    2022 number of dead kids: 24

    It can happen here. My old high school. Not long after I got out of there, remember hearing about it on the radio while working at a tree nursery just north west of Brampton. The shooter was the brother of one of my classmates. Too close for comfort.

    Keeping them even safer than school children is how you know the training is working.

    More likely? Not so.

    There are 50 million students and 700K police officers, so a PO is 60x more likely to be shot.

    Not that any of these deaths are OK

    If we find out the classroom door was designed to keep a shooter out it speaks to the defensive problem of objects that protect children can also protect shooters.

    Do we need to point out the huge variable for you? Going to school isn't supposed to be a dangerous activity.
    I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

    Apparently Tucker was actually pretty critical of them last night. Article commenting on him showed up in my newsfeed, but I can’t find it any more.

    You know you’ve fucked up as a cop when you’ve lost guys like Tucker.

    What color is the sky?

    Going to school should be vastly less risky than being a cop. And it is. I don't have in mind an appropriate ratio.

    Both those numbers are ideally zero shot.

    Police lied about the timeline. Multiple times. And about shooter having body armor. And about him being barricaded.

    They lied about the armed resource officer's whereabouts.

    They detained parents, while individual cops went in and got their own kids out. In doing so, one cop got another child killed via his incompetence.

    Cops lying is a feature, not a bug, and they'll keep massaging the message until they arrive at one the media will accept.

    Yup. It's a game of cat and mouse to see what they can get away with and what is provable. Resources being spent managing the fuck-ups and the messaging about the fuck-ups is bigly.
