There are a lot of laughs, that's for sure. When these events happen, I don't think of gun control. I think knee-jerk without real thinking, it must be another nut. Common people don't do these things. I wondered about reports that his treatment ended at a certain age.
As far as consequences go, as a voter I'm responsible partly for our gun control, which isn't a liberal as yours. I've always felt that I don't want persons walking around in my public space with firearms concealed or otherwise and definitely not AR15s.
A majority here thinks similarly so we live with consequences that some Americans and Canadians consider slavishly deferential, authoritarian and lacking freedom but they're our laws, rightly or wrongly, justified or otherwise.
There is no reason to believe anything will change your way, as I've been saying since I joined the board.
