Letter: Reason wins in Canada
(Justin Tang | The Canadian Press via AP) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during his daily press conference on the COVID-19 pandemic outside of his residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, Ontario, on Friday, April 10, 2020.
The Canadians are so entirely reasonable.
When it was made clear that assault weapons, created for the purpose of killing as many victims as possible in the shortest possible time, will be used for that purpose, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau banned the sale, import and transport of all of the variety of makes and models of such weapons in one decisive statement.
Would that Americans had such wisdom.
