Canadian Mayor supporting total handgun ban

After a mass shooting left three people dead, including the shooter, in Toronto on Sunday, the city's conservative mayor backed a proposal that even the most liberal American politicians wouldn't dare support ― a total ban on all handgun sales.

"Why does anyone in this city need to have a gun at all?" Mayor John Tory asked at a city council meeting on Monday.

Tory spoke a day after 29-year-old Faisal Hussain opened fire with a handgun on a busy avenue in the city, killing two females and injuring 13 other people. The incident left Torontonians in fear and mourning and prompted the city council to vote on Tuesday night to ask the federal government to ban the sale of handguns within city limits.

"What's happened in the United States is what not to do," said Toronto city councilman Joe Cressy following Sunday's shooting.


Toronto's Mayor Did What No U.S. Leader Has Done After A Mass Shooting

So do they really think that a ban on handguns in Toronto will stop people from getting guns? They consider this Mayor a conservative?

I don't know, but I think liberal politics is beginning to infect our friends up north. A nice dog and pony show to placate the masses. Canada already has strict gun measures, in fact, the same measures liberals think we should implement here such as special licensing, government training, and of course, all the red tape. But oh! It's not working very well.

Will our Democrats learn anything from Canada? Probably not. But according to this Huff piece, their strict regulations have led to more shootings and gun deaths in 2018 compared to last year.
Why do you say it’s not working well? Because of this one incident? I haven’t looked at the numbers but does Canada have a fun violenve problem?

And I gotta correct one of your statements. A hand gun ban will absolutely stop people from getting guns, that’s the whole point. It won’t stop everybody but it puts less guns out there you can’t really dispute that.

This clown couldn't get a gun in Canada, so now the police suspect he got it from his brother who could. Not much different than what goes on here. Most criminals don't use a legal gun that they purchased.
True, but the point still stands. Gun bans equal less guns. It won’t stop all guns or all gun violence and it prevents people from being able to protect themselves with guns, but it does take guns off the street and decreases gun related crimes. We have a few countries that are very strict with these laws that have stats to show the effects

They've already banned freedom of speech so grabbing the guns sounds like a logical next step.

Yeah, just like a narcotics ban stopped people from getting drugs...:rolleyes:
I don’t agree with drug laws but absolutely making drugs illegal prevent people from getting and doing drugs. It doesn’t stop everybody but I never claimed it did

Wow, now I want to see what he said about the Muslims, must have been pretty ugly. I bet half this message board would be thrown in the slammer we were in Canada. Haha
 
There are several countries that have taken similar measures. UK, Germany, Australia and Japan... check their stats for gun violence

There are larger cultural factors at play as well. For instance, you can hardly compare the Japanese to Americans. The cultures are night and day.
 
Someone on the internet told me North Korea's gun-violence rate is pretty low, not counting government executions, of course.

I agree. Very different countries and I didn’t mean to imply that what works there would nevessarily work here. I was just using it as a practical example of where the “gun regulation” crowd is coming from

A ban on all handguns is reckless and stupid. It would be totally against the constitution here. Not sure of any of the Canadian laws on this but this just makes no sense to me.

Not arguing that point, just stating it would be against constitution.

Well........the gun regulation crowd is coming from the concept it's the guns and less the people. This happened last night in my city.

At least 4 people shot at bar following music video shoot for rapper ‘Q Money’

I'm willing to bet all the guns used were not legal, were not traceable, were used by people that didn't have a license to have a gun out in the street. In other words, laws don't work on criminals. And we've had a rash of kids getting shot the last two weeks as well.

You are close. Banning recreational narcotics stop good people from taking drugs. The bad people will take them regardless, and that's the exact same results that would take place with a gun ban.

It's like this: you can take every gun away from people in a high crime area and there will still be high crime. You can arm every person in a nice middle or upper-class suburb and you won't have one additional shooting.

It's not the amount of guns that are the problem, it's the wrong people having and using them. And until we have much more severe penalties against those people, then taking all the guns away won't make a difference.

This will certainly be more effective than the preexisting ban on murder.
 
i think its funny , take away all 'canooks' handguns because your 'canook government' imported a murderous muslim into 'Canada . Course 'trudy trudeau' will still be protected by men with concealed handguns .

Yeah. That moron imported thousands of unvetted Syrian refugee's into Canada for his tax payers to support.

Wonder how many problems they have had with them??
