Hmmmm...apparently the criminals in Canada didn't get the message that it is against the law for them to have guns...and to shoot guns...and to shoot people.....
It's been a particularly bloody summer in the Montreal region and with five people shot and killed since the beginning of August, the Quebec government and two of its major police forces have promised to work together and act quickly.
On Aug. 2, a shooting in Rivière-des-Praires left three men dead and two injured. A few days later, a 31-year-old Longueuil man was killed in a shooting on the South Shore.
The latest shooting took place on Sunday night. A 22-year-old man was fatally shot in the Villeray neighbourhood.
Most of the victims were known to police.
The death toll has led to government announcements and stern statements from the police along the lines of "enough is enough," but it has also raised questions about what is the best way to tackle the problem of gun violence.

She says an ongoing war between rival gangs, the Profit Boys in Rivière-des-Prairies and Zone 43 from Montréal-Nord, is causing a lot of the bloodshed.
