TORONTO — A group of doctors pushing for tighter gun laws says one of its leaders has been targeted in an “organized campaign of mass harassment” fuelled by gun rights activists.
He said the argument made by detractors that doctors should not wade into such debates ignores that advocacy is considered a core competency for physicians. The Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, an advocacy group representing legal gun owners, has urged its supporters to file complaints about Ahmed with the college, arguing physicians should not take political positions.
“They formed a group and the credibility they’re bringing to that group is that they’re medical doctors — medical doctors are not firearms experts by any means,” he said. In an interview Friday, Giltaca — who has experience in firearms training — said the video was a “desperate” effort to highlight how little others understand the effects of gun policies.
The college said a committee is reviewing the complaints and will determine whether to investigate further or designate them as “frivolous and vexatious.”

Canada in 2017: 4000 opioid related deaths 266 firearm related deaths Guess who our Doctors are targeting? Gun owners. Doctors that are in bed with big pharma have no credibility.
She is entitled to her views, however, being a doctor gives her no special insight into responsible fire arm ownership. She, & other doctors most often see the results of illegal fire arm use committed by criminals. This is criminal issue not firearms issue.
He has a duty to make risks known but not change laws that restrict what people do. That is a personal thing and not a professional requirement. He treated victims of the Toronto shooting true but that gives him zero extra wisdom, authority, or morality on gun owenership.
You put 'harassment' in quotations but not 'gun rights'. Guns don't have rights. People do. And people have the right not to be shot by guns.
When you choose to make the move from medicine to activism you don’t get to cry when you feel pushback.
This doctor stepped into the political arena to advocate the confiscation of private property from Canadian citizens and is upset that groups and individuals disagree... she's suffering from cognitive dissonance between what she thought would happen and what is really happening.
Gun rights advocates often subversive trolls outside Canada. I consider them to be disrupters. Sorry this doctor was exposed to their brand of BS.
I wonder if she advocates against big pharma & legal drugs when she treats someone whos overdosed on illegal drugs 🤔
Anti gun activists butt heads with gun rights activists. Nothing to see here
I guess people get upset when others advocate removal of private property from them?🤔
She is a faker. No one killed at Danforth.
In Canada no one has the RIGHT to own a gun.
They have no Shame. Think your government will step in to level the Playing Field? God help us.
