jvrCTV Stop the guns used in these shootings from being smuggled into Canada

jvrCTV Not the hero we deserve but the one we need

jvrCTV Because a ban wouldn’t work, stop already.

jvrCTV If a CITY wants to pass a bylaw prohibiting handguns that's their right if the voters choose. The Prime Minister is PROHIBITED from taking sides on municipal issues BUT the Biased Media try to turn that into a political stance.

jvrCTV Lol is mainstream media really this dumb or do they just print and repeat what they are told by their higher ups ? ... I think the latter. FYI discharging a firearm in urban areas is already banned, so is murder, and if you think these gangbangers are going to stop your mistaken

jvrCTV Maybe because banning guns won't change one single thing..... Something tells me criminals don't care if the illegal gun they have is banned or not.

jvrCTV Toronto is a dump. Don’t go there. Be lucky if a transport doesn’t hit ya by the time you get there.

jvrCTV Time to bring carding back in gang area

jvrCTV You don’t have to ban them. You have to make the penalty for using them harsher. How many shootings are done by legal gun owners ?

jvrCTV RCMP vetted licensed handgun owners are the safest demographic in the country. A ban only affects licensed owners. How would a ban do anything to address gang violence?

jvrCTV Ones a crook ones a bigger crook

jvrCTV Handgun ban...🤔 Yea in fantasy, lunatic criminals with illegal handguns murdering each other will definitely abide by a handgun ban. In reality, handgun bans ONLY affect citizens that follow laws. Liberal dumbshits.

jvrCTV Lefty/lib,NDP types have succeeded in replicating the major U.S. cities of my youth! Detroit, Chicago, L.A. etc. S--holes!

jvrCTV Here’s a picture to make it easy for you JustinTrudeau. Maybe stop and think about who is doing the shooting, where they are coming from (perhaps irregular boarder crossers?) and how they are obtaining their hand guns illegally moron

jvrCTV Apparently he fell short of saying anything meaningful.

jvrCTV How are people getting the guns? We have way more rules than the US. Maybe the gun registry was useful.

ginnyb3 jvrCTV Gangs are preparing to leave Canada pending Trudeau’s announcement.

jvrCTV This is not a time for political games. Speak your truth liberal_party TrudeauGames

jvrCTV Wake up Trudeau!🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

jvrCTV Don't even know why a gun ban is being discussed. How about doubling the number of cops working the Guns and Gangs squad and no bail for gun related offenses.

jvrCTV Two goofs imo

jvrCTV I think this is the Toronto City’s Mayor and Ontario’s Premier decision, not just the Prime Minister. Why is holding Trudeau accountable for this decision?

jvrCTV In news that is not fake, Canada already has extremely strict gun laws. Unfortunately Liberal judges and lawyers refuse to hold criminals with guns accountable.

jvrCTV Tell me CTV what would a handgun ban accomplish?

jvrCTV Half measures as usual. Centrist Trudeau. You’re supposed to be a liberal; act like it!

jvrCTV A hand gun ban is a joke, and if you believe it would work, you are a joke.

jvrCTV Who's making the money from gun running ?

jvrCTV stopped short of a gun ban.. no gun ban? this is a meeting with a couple of little girls...please dont shoot up this city.. please don't.

jvrCTV A handgun ban does nothing. The Glock the police recovered from the shooting last Friday has been banned in Canada since 1998.

jvrCTV If he gets elected he will do everything he can to take guns out of the hands of law abiding Canadians. But gangs and criminals will continue to have them

jvrCTV I hope he accepts responsibility for this increase. How's that welcome all tweet you sent out working for you now Potato Head?

jvrCTV They execute drug dealers and criminals in Cuba and the Philippines. Extreme but possibly effective. Drug trafficking has thrown our Canadian society into complete chaos and we need to deal with the problem definitively. Drug consumption sites are not the answer.

jvrCTV We should stop letting in illegal and unvetted border crossers. Canadian gang members should be thrown in jail for good and not be let out for parole in a couple of months. Throwing money at the problem will do nothing. We need a whole new mindset in Canada or end up like the US.

jvrCTV A handgun ban will make no difference to the gun violence in Toronto and would simply be an administrative nightmare. John Tory is simply reaching for a bandaid solution. Instead we should look into where all these gangsters come from, deport a whole bunch of them.

jvrCTV Good

jvrCTV Handgun ban will totally stop Toronto shootings and crime......said no one. Criminals will always have weapons no matter what you ban. We are not an island, we live North of the most gun availability in the world. They smuggle drugs in, you can bet guns to.

jvrCTV He's waiting till after the election. Unfortunately for him, he isn't going to win.

jvrCTV Exactly 0 shootings have occurred with legal firearms.

jvrCTV Banning guns only takes them away from law abiding citizens. The REAL solution is to take guns out of the hands of the CRIMINALS. Why is this never discussed by politicians or the media?

jvrCTV He won’t touch that until after the election...

jvrCTV Do criminals follow the law? Were any of the gun violence in Toronto recently, involved the shooter legally purchasing the firearm... Question: why so many guns making way across the boarders & getting into young adults teenagers hands Lots of unsolved shootings too

jvrCTV I'm sure the criminals using these guns will abide by whatever law socks comes up with.

jvrCTV So basically nothing meaningful will get done?

jvrCTV What should be a focus is to make public places safer! Walmart uses automated checkout....MINIMAL SECURITY. Places of worship should always have manned entrances.

jvrCTV maybe look at who are shooting the guns rather than the guns themselves

jvrCTV Oh yah a hand gun ban! Criminals are outstanding citizens and obey the law 🙄
