@GLON…..Despite what many people believe and hear, not all of us Americans own guns. I do believe that everyone should have the right to own a weapon if they so choose. Remember, guns don’t kill people, people kill people. No guns were used during the 911 massacre in NYC. If people want to kill a lot of people, they will find a way.
Even though guns are strictly regulated and/or banned in Canada and Europe, they still have their share of unfortunate mass shootings.
FYI: foreigners are not banned from owning firearms in America. Once they have received their Green Card, they are free to purchase guns.
I think it’s better that we pray for world peace! -

It’s stupid you American you always tolerate the
free weapons on your territory by your citizen
and banned for the foreigners
In the same time you deeply believe in God
“Never kill a human”
how many persons are killed every year due to your stupid idea
Too much I’m sure
Everybody have a good day -

Hi Tara,
First, thank you for this week’s news report.
Second, I’m so sorry to hear the bad news about killing 58 people and injuring over 500 others in Las Vegas.
Third, as far as I know the people cannot use the guns and handguns in Canada and Europe easily.
Thus, why can all people use guns and handguns in the USA easily?Best wishes and have a great weekend in Canada,
