Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the last time a legal weapon killed people was the 1989 montreal one?

[–] Nils@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Montreal was a big one. I think the last big mass shootings were all smuggled from the USA, or stolen from the police (Nova Scotia 2020).

I meant murder with guns in general. It feels like there is always a pundit saying the weapon being black, or having a handgun handle increases lethality… and red makes it faster, more dakka. It feels it is more for economic reasons (block competition) than to solve any real problem.

There is this one in 2022, it is not as big, but the guy killed multiple people with legal handguns. https://siu.on.ca/en/directors_report_details.php?drid=2360
