Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Toronto on Tuesday. He met with Mayor John Tory and said his government would have more to say about gun control as part of its election campaign. This is after a recent spate of shootings in the city. Up until a few weeks ago, shootings in Toronto had actually been trending down, after a very bloody 2018. The recent series of incidents has erased that decline. The city now has more shootings this year than it did at this time last year .
Mark Saunders, chief of Toronto’s police, is generally a soft-spoken guy. He’s thoughtful and polite. But he hasn’t minced words about these shootings. The chief has, just in the past few days, gone out of his way to say what the problem is — gangs. I support gun control. Always have. I own firearms and am fully compliant with the laws — including some that are stupid and cumbersome and generate needless paperwork hassles while contributing nothing to public safety. If I had a magic wand to fix Canada’s gun-control laws, I’d cut back on some of the silly red tape but also get tougher in some areas. The system isn’t perfect and can be improved in ways that would satisfy both the left and right .
It has gang, smuggling, theft, drug, and family problems.
F*ckin Badass 👍
mattgurney I've automatically assumed an all-ban is the right thing to do, but, I've found out some important facts here, in a kind of reasonable tone/format that I like. Thx mattgurney
It's got a n***** problem
We know who and what’s behind PostMedia so we’ll see these takes for exactly what they are.....Rightwing Bullshit. BoycottPostmedia
Exactly.
What about holding the parents responsible for their kids getting into gangs.
Apparently more safe community centres are what we need to counter the crisis on guns in our streets across the country. Tough love is what’s needed. Get the criminals out of the cities, towns and our neighbourhoods. Stop this political bouncing ball. Make a difference !
Politicians, especially Liberals, expert at inventing moral issues, claiming that they are Jesus; and taxing the daylights out of us to pay for unnecessary programs.
