Canadian Doctors for Protection from Guns was holding events in cities that included Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and St. John’s

, and also planned discussion forums and information sessions in other communities – all as part of a national day of action.

“Bill C-71 is kind of an initial step. It certainly helps around tighter regulations,” Beno said. “But it’s really weapons that don’t really need to be in the hands of civilians that are out there. When you think about public health … one direct way to reduce this burden is simply to reduce the vector, and reduce the number of firearms that are in circulation.”

Beno, who was set to speak at the rally, said she has seen firsthand how gun violence affects children and families, as well as the “ripple effects” it has on wider communities.

Could you please provide evidence of AR15 or Assault Weapon deaths or mass shootings having taken place in Canada for the last let’s say .. 5 years .. ? I’m trying to find the statistics and I can’t .. can you help please I can see more deaths attributed to drink driving

Meanwhile doctors are silent about prescribing highly addictive pain killers and other drugs that have caused more deaths than gun violence...

They are actually calling for an election issue for a struggling Trudeau because we all know the problem is smuggled in guns to criminals largely in Toronto and NOT law abiding gun owners...Canadians cannot be dumb enough to fall for this, can they?

Doctors for gun banning have no interest in lowering violent crime rates, they even said this during Senate testimony. They have an unhealthy obsession with firearms that is counterproductive. Maybe that's why there were more media present than supporters at their events today.

YES !

Fun fact: There are less than 300 homicides with guns in Canada annually, with the majority being gang related -While doctors kill between 30,000 - 60,000 from misdiagnosis & lack of care- You are 100 times more likely to get killed by a doctor than a gun

What will they protest when stricter gun laws don't stop the gun violence?

How about getting rid of things like the criminal gun rental situation before they go attacking law abiding citizens ?

Their being doctors does not make their calls for tyranny more just.

Only the extremely stupid and the extremely dangerous support gun bans

Man charged in New Zealand mosque attacks had supported far-right group in Austria, chancellor saysA spokesman for prosecutors in Graz, Austria, confirmed the head of the country’s Identitarian Movement has received €1,500in 2018 from a donor with the same name as the man charged with the shootings earlier this month He supported extreme left groups too, but let's not let that get in the way of the narrative. I’m not at all a fan of the far right but it is pathetic that a “link” is made between a donation from a random person on and a group in Austria.

Shell is quitting an oil lobby group because they disagree on climate changeOil giant releases first of its kind report that is likely to reverberate across the industry They are either run by fools or just positioning themselves to take advantage of fools. CO2 is irrelevant. It does not take much effort to see it. We are not driving any global warming. This is unfortunate. If they disagree, wouldn’t it be better to influence these groups from within? Or is it optics for Shell?
