TheGunBlog.ca — Toronto Mayor John Tory asked the city’s
100,000 federally licensed gun owners to leave town, he said today on
NewsTalk 1010 radio. He didn’t ask the murderers and gangs responsible
for a wave of shootings to leave or to stop.
The mayor, campaigning for re-election in October, has asked the federal government to ban and confiscate
handguns and semi-automatic firearms from all lawful, licensed,
legitimate hunters and sport shooters in Canada. The government has
said it’s “open to all possible options.”
Target shooting is one of the country’s safest and most-popular sporting activities. More than 2 million
men and women have firearm Possession and Acquisition Licences
authorized by the federal police, and many of them are members of
shooting clubs.
“I repeat the question that you posed: Why does anybody need to have a gun in the city of Toronto?,” Tory told the Moore in the Morning show today, according to a recording shared by JohnToryWatch
on Twitter. “And if it’s someone who’s involved in a gun club, perhaps
they could do that somewhere else, because I’m just trying to make sure
we do everything we can to save lives and to save the trauma that I’ve
seen in the community when these kinds of shootings take place.”
oh and they also blathered on about how banning guns in Toronto will be like the UK or Australia (two countries that also share an 8,000 km border with the gun capital of the world) There was no mention of Chicago where guns are also banned pic.twitter.com/KWSAcqsoWg— JohnToryWatch (@JohnToryWatch) August 7, 2018
