Dawson College marks solemn 10th anniversary of mass shooting - Montreal Gazette

Kimveer Gill, the black-clad 25-year-old from Fabreville who fired 72 bullets with his semi-automatic rifle before shooting himself, just after 12:45 p.m. He had hundreds of extra bullets in his bag.  “There’s a reason why they are called assault rifles and not protect rifles,” Gueorguiev says, borrowing a line from an Australian comedian about the need for gun control. “But in Nice it was a guy with a truck (who barrelled through a crowd). … What was going through his head? What went through (Gill’s) head to do what he did? His rifle was just a tool. I wish people would pay more attention to mental health issues.” Gun control amid more school shootings  In the 10 years since the Dawson shooting, there have been a handful of school shootings in Canada, most recently in La Loche, Sask., where two people were killed and seven injured. (Another two students were killed in their home.) In the U.S., since the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012, there have been another 10 incidents at schools in which the shooter intended to commit mass murder. At the same time, gun control in both countries has faltered. In Canada, the long-gun registry set up after the Polytechnique massacre in 1989 was abolished by the Harper government — with all records, including those from Quebec, ordered destroyed by the Supreme Court in March 2015. Bystanders flee Westmount Square, Sept. 13, 2006, after false reports that there was a second shooter in the mall. Among them were Dawson College students who were on the street having fled the shooting rampage in the school.
