Canadian kids play video games and watch violent movies just like american kids.
But mass shootings in Canada are very rare. Is it because of the water, or is it because of gun control? You can legally buy a gun in canada but only after criminal and mental health checks are complete. You can't buy one from a "gun" show cash and carry. You can't buy semi auto or automatic weapons nor large capacity magazines.
With 300 million guns in the US (at least) and all kinds of assault weapons and large capacity mags, I think the number of mass shootings is facilitated by access to the type of guns that enable such horrific events. Its simply a numbers game a tiny tiny number of nutbars in an environment overflowing with guns. Surely it makes sense to at least control the types of guns available and the type of individual that can obtain them and still uphold the second amendment.
