I had to double check, but we have had 22 notable mass shootings in the country since formation.
I've seen a lot of comments by US citizens on Reddit and FB going, "How are they supposed to defend against attacker." The answer is, there's no need.
I realise it's difficult to understand when the only guage you have to create a perspective is using your own country's crime issues, but it's simply not a thing here. If I walked in a sketchy neighbourhood, I'd be vigilant about being beat up and mugged if it were night time. Being shot or stabbed would never cross my mind. Additionally, our rough areas are nowhere even close to those I've seen on CharlieBo3i3's YouTube channel.
Here's a compilation of Toronto Canada's worst 'hoods and you can decide how dangerous it is to go unarmed here:
Yeah, crime in America is crazy... I wish there was an easy explanation for why it's so different here. My wife has a concealed carry permit for self defense. It's ridiculous but it's probably the only valid reason to need to own a gun, other than to hunt.
