Default Toronto Shootings Over 400 in 2019

Does anyone else find it ironic, that a city with over 400 shooting so far in 2019, voted overwhelmingly for a government that is soft on crime?

Of course not. After all our guns are taken away I'm sure their crime rate will approach zero

Banning legally owned Ar15s will show 'em!

Just reading Coloring the News. According to that book the Media, inherently Left, refuses to recognize color bias, when it comes to non White crime. And of course, any attempt to deal with the people at fault is racism, pure and simple. The carding program was a success, but of course, the Left activists would have non of that, so it was discontinued. It's all us Whiteys that are to blame and we have to be controlled.

Time for the sandbox test. Let TO ban handguns and watch for two years.

My money is on no change in gun violence. Anyone wanna take that bet?

Liberal philosophy
When the gangs guns wear out they won't be able to get another

On a brighter note most of the shooting are gansta's shooting other gansta's

The problem is, they recruit gang members faster than they shoot them. There are thousands of prospective gang members crossing the border. Some even have ISIS training as to how to murder people with firearms or bombs.

They have a problem there

Actually they have a few

They have a problem recognizing THEIR problem, rather they think its a widespread problem. Classic deflection.

They harbour A LOT of maggots there. I love Toronto but wow did they get more than their share of creeps.

Their politicians suck. Spineless. Cry to Ottawa and Justin cant lose a vote so he bows to their idiotic behaviour with idiotic behaviour of his own.

Personally I like it when bad guys kill bad guys.

Just like the anti gunners love it when we attack each other

I wish that reporters would at least acknowledge when a shooting occurs whether the firearm used was legally owned by the shooter. There does seem to be one glaringly obvious commonality when you google Toronto shootings, and then look at images......

It's hard for the media to report on the status of firearm owned because the RCMP didn't, or at least think that, the fact of the gun used was important. They are too busy trying to see if the legal owners did anything in the past day to warrant taking legal firearms away.

Instead of looking at the root cause of the shooting they are just finger pointing at someone that will listen to them.

Just my 2cents

Obviously guns are to blame not gangs or the legal system not putting gang members in jail. Stupid inanimate objects locked in safes of law abiding people!

Only just over 400? Oh well, I guess it’s a start. “Just kidding”

Some members are born here, but many aren't. Look at the makeup of the Toronto gangs.

If you want to check for yourself if it’s indeed a dog whistle (a very common attempt at deflection without actually debating any facts that might be uncomfortable for you (AKA: cognitive bias)) perhaps you might check the Toronto Police’s own webpage and let us know your new conclusion.

Oh honey.... no.

If you’d like to discuss the factors that contribute to those problems in a constructive way that’s fine. “Look at the scary brown people” and “omg isis” doesn’t qualify.

Just so you know I was standing in Dundas square when I posted that. The ethnic makeup of that page seems to look like the population. Toronto isn’t Calgary.

Clearly you’re not getting it then. I don’t consider ‘brown people’ scary (40% of my own household is ‘brown’) but there is a clearly defined issue in the root of the violence plaguing Toronto, it’s just that politicians in power won’t do a damned thing about the issue because they fear being labeled in the exact same fashion where you’re failing in trying to label me. That’s a cheap shot and you should really try a different tactic. That label worries the politicians and bureaucrats, but I won’t allow such clearly absurd attempts at slander to bother me. I have yet to see one instance where a person used the term ‘dog whistle’ where it wasn’t ironic (including today). I’m sure it might apply on occasion, but not any times I’ve been witness. It’s simply a cheap shot at labeling people that creates a hostile rhetoric instead of fostering constructive and reasonable conversation.

I'm not labeling you anything, I was referring to the original comment. Elkhunter's statement has no evidence to support it and it appeals to a certain xenophobic undercurrent that haunts this community. The evidence shows very much the opposite in fact. Dogwhistle is perfectly appropriate for a statement like that regardless of your emotional reaction.

https://crdcn.org/immigrants-and-crime-evidence-canada

Now if you want to make a case that the gun crime in Toronto is not aligned with that then fine but show some real support for the idea. Some actual statistics perhaps? Whomever is on the most wanted list at a given moment does not constitute meaningful evidence.

I wonder how long it will be before this handgun is used to commit a crime.

When a country imports people from a 3rd world country on a wholesale scale, how can you be surprised about the rise in violence and 3rd world problems here? London England is a prime example. They’ve banned guns and now they’re trying to implement knife control!! Next will be acid control due to the number of acid attacks! Can’t say who’s doing it because that would be “racist”. And our mainstream media is keeping a lid on a lot of it. Don’t hear much about knife attacks in Toronto or acid attacks, even though they are starting to rise. Don’t want to scare the Canadians or have them aware of what’s happening until it’s too late.
