It's my position that those are outlier events, depending on how you define mass shooting. There have been anywhere from seven to 15 of those in the last 60 years in Canada, so they happen very infrequently. They're terrible. No one's ever said that they weren't awful, absolutely, but you don't legislate based on outliers any more than you legislate against white rental vans because we had a van attack. Those victims deserve just as much respect as any other victim. Guns are the only topic where we act like that.
