These shooters must not have received the memo that handguns are now banned in Canada.
“SHOOTING: Ellesmere Rd + Dolly Varden Blvd 3:10pm,” Toronto Police Operations tweeted Friday. “Gunshots heard in the area – Police are on scene – Evidence of gunfire located – Vehicle located with bullet holes.”
The city of San Francisco is one of the most anti-gun cities on the planet. If they had their way, guns would be completely and totally outlawed within the city limits.
Actually, they’d be outlawed everywhere, but they can’t really make that call for everyone else.
Luckily, they can’t go that far. However, between the city itself and the state of California, getting a firearm lawfully isn’t easy.
The type of semi-automatic weapon used in the recent fatal shooting of two Ontario police officers was also used in a series of other deadly, high-profile gun attacks in Canada, including the 2018 Fredericton mass shootings and the murders committed by the B.C. manhunt suspects.
But the Russian-designed SKS rifle was not added to the federal government’s 2020 list of prohibited weapons, raising questions as to why it wasn’t included.
The Gun Grabbers will never stop.
Is there a correlation between the increase in legal handgun ownership and homicide? A Review of the Data
Since 2003, Canada has kept accurate counts of the number of registered firearms, and handguns are all in the restricted and prohibited category.
As well since 2003, the number of restricted and prohibited firearms has doubled from 572,325 to 1,165,114 firearms, while the rate of homicide by handgun has remained relatively constant …
A freeze on importing, buying, selling or otherwise transferring handguns went into effect Oct. 21.
In May, the Liberals announced a plan to freeze the number of handguns in Canada, in order to help quell firearm-related violence.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the tabling of Bill C-21, a firearms-control legislation that would freeze the import, sale and transfer of handguns, on May 30.
President Joe Biden’s push to change the rules regarding “ghost guns” and put serial numbers on gun parts may be hitting a major roadblock. Relying on the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision in June, a West Virginia federal district court judge ruled on Thursday that it is unconstitutional to ban guns without serial numbers. That is hardly the end of the story, however, as federal judges in Texas and North Dakota seem to have no problem with requiring serial numbers.
The West Virginia judge, U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin, isn’t some wild-eyed Trump nominee. He was nominated by Democrat President Bill Clinton.
On Tuesday, Pennsylvania’s Pittston Area School District revealed it had placed one shotgun and one AR-15 in each of its schools for use by a resource officer in the event of an attack.
The Times Leader reported that news of the acquisition and placement of the firearms “was released during Tuesday’s regular monthly meeting.”
Many Canadians have doubts that a federal freeze on handguns would be effective in deterring firearms-related crimes, an in-house Privy Council study has found.
“Most were unsure as to the practicalities and realities of such a policy,” said the study titled “Continuous Qualitative Data Collection of Canadians’ Views,” which also said that “a large number expressed concerns about a potential freeze.”
OTTAWA – MPs are coming under pressure to broaden an exemption to a planned federal handgun freeze to include a wider range of sport shooters — an idea prominent firearm-control advocates firmly oppose.
In May, the Liberal government announced a plan to implement a freeze on importing, buying, selling or otherwise transferring handguns, in order to help quell firearm-related violence.
Canada isn’t the United States. Because of how the laws work up that way, they can enact gun bans, something that really isn’t likely to hold up down this way.
Yet there are those who will continue to try and do just that.

On the heels of the fatal shooting of two police officers in Innisfil, Ont., the president of the Toronto Police Association (TPA) says firearms trafficking and violence are increasing and Ottawa’s efforts to curb gun violence are missing the mark.
“The proliferation of firearms up here in Canada from the U.S.—it is out of control in my opinion,” Jon Reid told The Epoch Times.
The Yukon Legislative Assembly has adopted a motion to say that local RCMP resources shouldn’t be used for the federal government’s gun buyback program. The governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba have taken similar positions in recent weeks.
The motion was brought forward by Yukon Party Justice Critic Brad Cathers and passed with the support of the Yukon Party and the Yukon NDP MLAs. All Yukon Liberal MLAs, who formed a minority government in the territory after the 2021 election, voted against the motion.
I’m not a gadget guy, for the most part, but I’m still blown away by 3D printing.
To me, the ability to render something in a computer and have it turned into something real and tangible with a device you bought from Amazon is beyond fascinating.
Unsurprisingly, this technology has been a boon to the Second Amendment. Now, people can produce their own firearms whenever they want and trust they’ll have the means to remain armed no matter what.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has never been a fan of guns, but he didn’t really do much about them until he got caught up in his brownface scandal. Then he vowed to push gun control and the media gave him a pass.
And he’s at least done what he said he’d do.
Last month, between September 22 through 25, an annual gun show was held in Great Falls, Montana. Sizable crowds attended the event to check out the various firearms that were for sale. But the gathering was also attended by someone who raised eyebrows among the other attendees. As P. Garner Goldsmith at mrcTV reports, several people noticed someone in a car with Canadian license plates observing the comings and goings of attendees at the show. The man turned out to be a policeman, but not of the American variety. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
