Canadian Crime

Man dead in overnight police shooting in downtown Calgary

Seems our northern neighbors aren't all that different.

Read the story @ http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/c...shooting+downtown+Calgary/10341725/story.html

 

Why the silence about this from our fav "Another shooting in the USA" poster?

 

Calgary will have between 20 and 30 homicides in 2014, Dallas a similiar size city had 140 homicides last year...we are very different...

 

Just curious - what are the gun control laws in Canada?

 

Here's a pretty good picture of both content and evolution over the years.

Thank you.

 

I like that we have so few that it's still a news story when it happens, which means we are still not desensitized to it.
