They enacted strict gun laws but expanded which law enforcement can carry firearms for this purpose.

They don't care about any mass shooting victim. They claim to remember the 14 of polytechnique just to make it look like it is.

In reality gun laws in Canada were always about suppressing labor uprisings, sectarian uprisings (like the Irish in the 19th century, the Quebec bloc in the 1970s, and the Oka crisis in the 90s). Americans like to talk about taking up arms against the government but Canadians actually have.

But on a more realistic note I wish it was that easy to just get a mob of people to drag them out. But unlike times past when it was possible, they live so far apart from us and travel via helicopter and airplane as much as possible specifically to be as hard as possible to corner.

Fascist love guns but don't like them when "other" groups have them. Guns are the oppressive force and fascists know this well.
