Found buried at the end of an AP article about the school shooting in Montreal:

Canada's worst mass shooting took place in Montreal when gunman Marc Lepine, 25, killed 14 women at the Ecole Polytechnic on Dec. 6, 1989, before shooting himself.

That shooting spurred efforts for new gun laws achieved mainly as the results of efforts by survivors and relatives of Lepine's victims.


So a guy went nuts and shot 14 people in Canada's worst shooting rampage. In response, Canada passes a bunch of gun control laws. Seventeen years later another guy goes nuts and shoots 20 people with guns he owned legally under Canada's strict gun regulations.

Memo to gun control people: Gun control doesn't work. It's not the guns who case the problems but the people wielding them.
