Canada's Worst Mass Killing in 30 Years...

The US is reeling from another tragedy this week after a deranged madman walked into a Tennessee Waffle House and began firing rounds from an AR-15 which he was not allowed to have. Gun control measures that were in place—and actually led to the confiscation of Travis Reinking's guns—did not stop this killer from carrying out the sick thoughts in his head.

Gun control was in place and it failed. What's more, less than 48 hours after Reinking murdered four people in a Waffle House, another mentally ill man with a seeming thirst for blood went on a killing rampage in Canada, who has some of the strictest gun laws in the world.

In Canada there is no legal right to possess guns. Canadian civilians aren't allowed to possess automatic weapons, handguns with a barrel shorter than 10.5 cm or any modified handgun, rifle or shotgun. Most semi-automatic assault weapons are also banned. But that didn't stop Alek Minassian, 25, from killing 10 people and injuring 15 others.
