Gun Violence in Peaceful Canada? Impossible!

Hard to believe that Canadians, who have often been dismissive of America's "Culture of Gun Violence", are finally admitting that they have their own share of crazed mass murderers.
Toronto City Council Urges Ban on Handgun, Ammunition Sales After Shooting:
On July 22, 2018, Faisal Hussain opened fire in Toronto’s Greektown, killing two and wounding 13. CBS News reported that Toronto Mayor John Tory reacted to the shooting by saying, “Guns are too readily available to too many people.” The National Post quoted Tory saying, “Why does anyone in this city need to have a gun at all? ....”

Eventually our Northern Neighbors will acknowledge that all nations need to address the problem of rising gun violence.   And banning guns and ammunition will only disarm the honest public, and turn their citizens into sheep at the mercy of the wild dogs.

Hard to believe that a nice Irish lad like Faisal would go rogue, isn't it?

(NOTE: Bearing Arms reports that the firearm was obtained illegally.   No great surprise.)


UPDATE: 


I mentioned "a nice Irish lad" ... then I read the current news.  It seems that the Irish (bless the ancestral home of my "DILDINE" ancestors) are still causing mischief:

July 27, 2018Justice And you thought the Criminal Justice System in the USA was screwed up. 
Violent burglar dressed up as garda during raid on family.
It seems things aren’t much different in Ireland.
He has 130 previous convictions for burglary, theft, road traffic offences, criminal damage, possession of drugs, taking vehicles and public order matters.
If he was sentenced to 6-months for each of those 130 offenses, he wouldn’t be out causing more mayhem. But the Irish, like their European neighbors, are too civilized to actually put people in prison.

Instead of banning guns and ammo, maybe they should ban jihadists.

Hush your mouth, that's "Racist"!

Yes, I know that Jihadists are not a race, any more than "muslims" are not a race. Religion is among America's First Freedoms.

Trump tried to limit immigration from predominantly muslim countries, and the Supreme Court slapped him down. And they were correct in doing so.

The fact that most of the major terrorist attacks in this nation have been committed by persons who shared the same religious beliefs is incidental.

Not "coincidental".

I don't have any answers, and I'm certainly not advocating any vigilante violence> I have friends who have religious beliefs I do not share ... I don't have to agree with them to know that they are good people.
