Link doesn't really say it all, at least not clearly. What's Toronto done?

Toronto has and continues to have a rash of gang and drug dealer related kiinigs. In response the Mayor of Toronto has called for a nation wide ban on handguns and has proposed municipal legislation to ban shooting ranges within the city limits. Some of the gun clubs have been there for over 60 years and are the home of some of Canada's Olympic shooters. He is a feel good, left wing air head.

Those of us in the shooting community are calling for a ban on visiting Toronto to drive home how silly his proposals are. If they worked Washington, DC and England woulb be the safest places on earth. Neither are!

Here is Stockwell Day's response. Mr. Day is the Minister in charge of National Security up here - kind of a Homeland Security Equivalent.
Stockwell Day rejects gun ban
Target criminals, not innocent firearm owners, he says

A handgun ban isn't the answer to Toronto's gun violence, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day insists.

"Studies in a variety of jurisdictions around the world show that if you want to see gun crime reduced you've got to go after the criminals," Day said during a press conference at Polson Pier yesterday.

He said a Canada-wide handgun ban would divert limited police resources to "going after innocent firearm owners."

Day's comments come after a weekend of gun violence in the city that started with a double murder Thursday night.

By Sunday morning, one man was killed and four people were injured in three separate shootings.

Following Thursday's fatal shooting, Mayor David Miller repeated his call for a nation-wide handgun ban.

The Conservatives are working to fight gun crime, Day said, pointing to funds allocated for hiring new RCMP and municipal police officers and tightening up laws for gun-related crimes.

The government is also putting money into tightening up cross-border gun smuggling, he said.

"This is where our officers work in conjunction with U.S. officers to vigorously go after gun smuggling which we know is a concern and a problem," Day said.

"We want to go after the people involved in the smuggling.

"We say this is the way to see gun crime reduced."
