The École Polytechnique Massacre, also known as the Montreal Massacre, occurred on December 6, 1989 at the École Polytechnique in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Twenty-five-year-old Marc Lépine, armed with a legally obtained Mini-14 rifle and a hunting knife, shot twenty-eight people before killing himself. |
and would a gun registry have prevented that crime? Criminals don't register their guns, and good citizens who buy guns don't suspect they'll turn out to be criminals eventually.
There was a study that showed many assaults/killings are actually done by family/friends/acquaintances of the victim. All the gun registry does is eliminate a bit of policing to find the obvious suspect - at a huge expense to the tax payer.
