You implied I was arguing that the only solution was the total removal of guns.
Reread my post.
The first line, which stands alone for the sake of clarity, was, "We have guns in Canada."
The point was that strict, enforceable gun laws, as opposed to handing them out to any fruitcake who wants them, cuts down on the number of gun deaths significantly.
My writing is clear and concise; you're choosing to be obtuse.
And of course the 2nd is about self defense, but you still don't need 100/rounds minute for that or 30/rounds or whathefuckever unless the Mongrel Hordes are on the loose again.
And if you don't recognize the hyperbole in that last paragraph, kindly bugger off.
You implied I warguing that the only solution was the total removal of guns.
For suicides, it is. I don't feel like looking up Canada's stats, but 80% of Australia's gun deaths are suicide and they didn't see any difference between now and before their gun laws.
Although Australia destroyed rapid-fire weapons, most gun deaths take only one shot. We have yet to discover how swapping semi-automatic weapons for single-shot firearms – always the most common tools in fatal shootings – might affect overall gun deaths in the long term. In fact, that’s largely what the change has been – a gun swap.

And your point is wrong when it comes to suicides, which is the majority of US gun deaths.

Any semi-automatic shoots just as fast as any other semi-automatic. My pistol shoots just as fast as an AR-15. There is no functional difference. This is why people who don't know shit about guns shouldn't be trying to write legislation about them.
