draconian???
Anybody can own a gun here. It's like driving a car. You have to pass tests.
The police in Montreal resplonded as they should have. There is no, absolutely no need to have armed personnel walking our schools. Or buildings.
Actually (as a side note) once, in the Eaton Centre McDonalds, I was eating my lunch, when a Brinks (armoured truck) delivery guy stood outside the kitchen door, put his foot on the chair opposite me, and pushed his hip out so that his gun was about 12 inches form my face. I told him to take it elsewhere, and when he didn't move, I went to the management and complained that there was no need to have guns brandished in my face while eating. net result: cash pickups at that McDonalds have been moved to off hours.
YOu can arm society like the lawless west of days of old, but these losers look for scenes that are convenient. the montreal shooting could have happened in a mall.
