there is zero recidivism. Every school shooter in the last two decades so far is dead or jailed.

We don't change our laws because not enough people buy the pap that making guns illegal will stop shooting, and too many people believe the government will outright take rights once we have no physical way to enforce our demands.

Oops sorry, I am not talking about prisoner recidivism so perhaps recidivism was not the word for me - I just meant that these crimes are becoming more repetitive as time goes on.

As for the second sentence, Canada doesn't have America's gun rights and we haven't had all our rights stolen due to a lack of our own physical enforcement (guns). It must be a fear based notion, because it doesn't make logical sense.
