Yeah.....apparently, gun control laws in Canada are not stopping gun crime in Canada.....except for law abiding people...they still can't use guns for self defense...
Sometimes they go to prison and come out even more hardened, more likely to settle a score at the end of a gun barrel.
Gun activity has become so prevalent in the city that it scarcely bears mentioning anymore unless someone has been killed. Or, say, when a Toronto Maple Leaf is carjacked at gunpoint.
“The severity of gun violence, the arbitrariness of many of these events, along with the retaliatory nature of gang rivalries, leaves the broader communities feeling unsafe and vulnerable,” says a report prepared by Toronto Police and presented to the police board at its most recent meeting.
Toronto is awash with guns, mostly illegal firearms, thus a scourge that wouldn’t be affected by a national gun ban, which many are calling upon the federal government to mandate.

Hey.....leftists are releasing violent gun offenders in Toronto too......
As it stands, the report argues, with supporting evidence, there are too many accused and convicted offenders released on bond with conditions they simply ignore, only to reoffend.
Despite pandemic lockdowns and restrictions imposed under the Emergency Measures and Civil Protects Act, there were 297 reported shootings in Toronto public areas in 2021 and 60 through the first three months of 2022. (Public or “congregate” areas refer to bars and restaurants, parking lots, streets, bicycle paths, commercial buildings (malls, for example) and other open spaces.)
Shootings and firearms discharges jumped 41 per cent between 2015 and 2021; killings rocketed by 77 per cent.
Of the 85 murders last year, 46 were shooting homicides. As of April 22 this year, 15 of 20 murders in the city were shooting homicides — 75 per cent.

As of March 31, 190 individuals were charged with firearm-related offences; 81 were granted bail and three have been rearrested.

Rosie DiManno: Gun activity so prevalent in Toronto it scarcely gets mentioned any more
Toronto is awash with guns, mostly illegal firearms, so this scourge won’t be affected by a national gun ban, writes Rosie DiManno.
