I think these stories are so common in the US at this point, the only way for it to get traction is to make people think it happened somewhere outside of here
The whole point is to look at places that already have the policy you’re considering to see what the results would be if you enacted that policy locally. In large part, people are very similar throughout the world. If you think Canadians having the same access and attitudes towards guns as Americans wouldn’t lead to similar outcomes, you’re denying reality.
And yes, there are people living in areas where wildlife risks are not compatible with gun safety, or where law enforcement is too remote to be a viable option as protection from criminals, but these people are a tiny minority. Anyone who feels like they need a gun for protection while in their home in a city is operating from a position of fear, and would be the type to shoot their pregnant wife or a delivery driver who went to the wrong address. Just like we see in America, which has enshrined the idea of needing arms for self-defense.
Just to save everyone the click. This is a US news story. Not Canadian. Title is misleading
Editorialized, but not eally misleading.

So to lie. Make things up to spread fear.
Is that ok?
People got raped somewhere else in the world…Don’t go outside in Saskatoon.

That’s a bad example, and the point highlighted by OP is worthy of discussion.
That was clear, wasn’t it?
