Normal people who own guns do not use those guns for crime.......the anti-gun extremists either don't understand this dynamic or they simply don't care because they just hate guns. Canada has always been on the border with the United States......they have, in the past had a low gun crime rate. Now, they have experienced a 40% increase in gun crime, focused mainly in Toronto.
So...access to guns isn't the issue.....gun control isn't stopping the increase. Criminals need guns to enforce the drug territories they control, and the Mexican cartels and other 3rd world crime gangs aren't hesitating to use guns to murder each other.......
But....anti-gun extremists are going to focus on the wrong issue....normal people who own guns......thinking that that is the way to reduce gun crime....
It's not.....but they hate guns, so instead of dealing with drug gangs, they will focus on Jean and Chloe Citizen....normal Canadians who own guns for hunting and self defense......while the drug gangs use guns to commit murder.....
Why Gun Violence Is Surging In Toronto
According to Canada's government statistics agency, gun violence overall rose by more than 40% in Canada between 2013 and 2017, with much of that increase driven by incidents in Toronto.
Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders says that the city's recent gun violence has been connected to gang activity.
In a press conference in August, he said the Raptors incident and the August shootings "by and large have street gang connotations to them," pointing to the gang membership of the victims and those arrested. There is a thriving gang culture in Toronto centered on the illegal drug trade, largely in the city's poorer outer suburbs.
Soooooo....drug gangs who don't obey gun laws are driving the gun murder rate......
I know...let's take guns away from people who don't use them for crime...that's the ticket...
