Twenty Years

I found this interview with Nathalie Provost, in the Globe and Mail, very moving. Ms. Provost survived the shooting at the Ecole Polytechnique, which happened twenty years ago. She is protesting the federal government's proposed changes to the long-gun registry.
According to the Globe and Mail, 5.6 percent of victims murdered by hand-guns are women; 41.1 percent of victims murdered by long-guns are women.
