Blacksburg Massacre

So, not meaning to be a heartless asshole who politicize tragedies, but srsly, would the massacre occur if the US had a tad bit more restrictive gun laws?

1. 100 shootings down to 10 in one year?  Due solely to gun control? I don't believe you.  Show me the study, then I'll consider believing you.

2. Canada has a lower population, a lower urban population, and a lower concentrated, poor, urban population (not by percentage, but overwhelmingly by absolute numbers.  The US has over 5 times the number of poor people living in concentrated urban areas).  Fewer poor people in the same place means less armed crime.  Source: http://www.ualberta.ca/~cjscopy/articles/hajnal.html.
Furthermore, Canada's gun laws are about the same as they are in most US States.

3. Second Amendment.  It's not a trivial argument.  If you wish to argue the banning of all guns, you simply have to call for a change to the Constitution.  Which is fine if 75% of the states want to vote it in.  But otherwise, fuck off.
