        Great piece mate. It prompted a memory of the great divide between Detroit & Windsor Ontario - seconds away from each other, common work places, vastly different crime rateshttp://windsorstar.com/news/local-news/a-tale-of-two-cities-windsor-and-detroit-murder-rates-show-stark-contrast …

        The US gave up on this 20 yrs ago. There'll be a bit of legal tinkering here - there and on we'll go to the next mass shooting.

        No they are not - unless of course they are done in the name of a political or religious ideology... how can a journalist not know the definitions of words... .

        Schools must have trained teachers who will react speedily in a shootout. US is not passive Australia , the gun culture there is entrenched. The real problem is the warrior culture. Millions of guns will take decades to rid off with new laws, much too late.

        Does this implicate their gun suppliers and/or the NRA as well?
