Toronto Police Firearm Crime Data Link

[CaberTosser]

I saw this fantastic interactive link to Toronto Police's firearm crime data on Twitter and thought it would be great for members to have should they happen to be so inclined as to educate others about gun crime. Note that it has additional pages that can be clicked to from the left hand column. There's quite a noticeable spike and increase in 2015. Gee, now why would that be? (politics being in the other thread...)

Obviously Trudeau, and his B.S.firearms laws did not reduce shootings in Toronto, just the opposite.

I like to go into debates with gun-haters packing irrefutable evidence. Mainstream statistics and not some spin-doctored tables from either camp. Although I generally find data from pro-gun sources much more accurate than the other teams cherry-picked bits, I prefer to use sources that can't readily be dismissed.

why don't the Conservatives put facts like this in their commercials? It should be run everyday on the TV country wide but especially in Ontario and Quebec and wherever the idiots vote liberal.

100% agree, the facts don’t lie….

I posted it here so others can post it to their other social media accounts and spread some solid data. Seeds to the wind.

Now here is a Statistics Canada page merely noting the various methods of murder in Canada. I was posting this elsewhere simply to note that other homicide methods beside shooting are quite common, mostly to underline the fact that in the absence of one option, killers simply choose another. Banning certain firearm types doesn't make homicides go away, it merely diverts the method used.
