Your entire post is based on the premise that guns are used by immigrants and we never had a problem with guns until “those people” showed up.

This is utter nonsense.

I never said we never had a problem with guns until immigrants showed up, that's a strawman.  Your attempts to paint me as a xenophobe racist is ridiculous.  If you look at the stats, most gun crime in these big cities like Toronto are committed by young black men and men of colour from poor and often broken homes.  That goes for white people who deal drugs and gang bang too.  It's not a question of race, it's a question of behaviour.  Young men who are filled with p!ss and testosterone from poor homes with emotional issues are going to shoot each other & others, along with other really stupid choices in life.

The problem isn't "immigrants".  The problem is poorly educated young men from poor dysfunctional homes who make bad decisions.  I'm not saying ban immigrants, or black people, or people from certain countries, I'm saying ban the bad seeds who have backgrounds with poor likelihoods of success.  What I am saying is that people from certain cultures under certain conditions are statistically far more likely to commit gun violence.  Black people make up 14% of the USA population but are responsible for 52.5% of the gun homicides in the country.  If you can consider the vast majority of these are committed by males, that's only 7% of the population, and if you consider it's mostly poorly educated young black men coming from low incomes you narrow the population down even more.  It's no different throughout sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, or anywhere else, and they need to own it, not glorify it or always blame others which will solve nothing (though some of that can be true), and when you acknowledge the scope of the problem you can begin to fix it.

Gang violence is epidemic in Latin America, highest murder rates in the world, and most gang members in the USA are Hispanic.   Pull the PC wool from your eyes or go ahead and try to see if restricting more legal handguns in Canada will fix the murder problem (it may help it slightly).

We can't ban people born here, including white people, so the rest of my earlier suggestions to help people in these situations apply to them too.
