“Sukhera has no idea how Hussain could have got his hands on a gun, particularly since he didn’t have any money, Sukhera said.”
And this:
“On Tuesday, city council passed a motion asking the federal government to ban the sale of handguns in Toronto and asking the provincial government to ban the sale of handgun ammunition. Council also passed an as-yet-unfunded $44-million, five-year plan to address gun violence, including both community support and law enforcement measures.
The federal Liberals have been considering a handgun ban for some time, Goodale said, but emphasized that such a measure would be immensely complex.”
I wonder if the gun banners actually believe that such laws could have prevented this.
Laws can not bring it to zero, but they can reduce them. For instance I don’t have a license but I have friends who do. They can buy guns and sell them to me.
With a ban there are going to still be what is out there already but hopefully the amount of illegal guns dwindle back to just what is smuggled.
I do not see a problem with every new sale being registered. I also have no problem with a handgun ban. I can still get a hunting rifle or gun for camping to use in case of wildlife but I prefer bear spray personally.
Nope . They are always claiming responsibility for things and taking advantage of those who want to believe this terrorism because he is middle eastern.
It’s and interesting time to say no need for a gun, when 11 people were just shot by what looks to be a follower of ISIS each passing hour who had an illegal gun and was able to shoot into an armed crowd as will, regardless of gun laws. Seems like the time for an argument on why you should need a gun if anything.
Nope see Canada has a problem. You can try to have a nice and try not to expose your kids to swearing and porn. But your neighbor insists on watching porn with his windows open and throwing his used mags into your yard.
Same here we can sane gun laws but our southern neighbor doesn’t and likes spread it like cancer. So this guy got guns from the US.
I don’t think will ever learn what caused the Vegas shooter to do what he did. I never heard about him and ISIS though which sounds fairly ridiculous given his background of a high stakes gambler.
No terrorism connection was ever found, they are still scratching their heads as to motive.
Personally with all the prep and the obvious level of training I think he was connected to terrorists somewhere but so far the police and fed’s maintain no such connections have been found.
Child abuse laws are passed to punish offenders, not to prevent child abuse.
“Gun Laws” are supposedly the answer to “gun violence” but in reality as has long been shown in our country do little or nothing to reduce or prevent it.
Making criminals of otherwise law abiding people isn’t the solution to any problem.
