    Toronto errupting in to gun violence, all over the news this morning. Two people shot and taken to hospital. Scary. Its all over the news this morning. This is still pretty rare here, but we risk becoming like the US if we don't do more to fix the problem.

    That was a pretty long video with really no information in it.

    Better clamp down on peoples rights to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Freedom is dangerous.

    Not as dangerous as flying bullets.

    Chinese, Nk, cuba are taking applicants. You won't be able to go in easily like our southern border, in fact you may have a tougher time, but don't pass up the chance to head on over where most can't touch a gun.

    Here in Florida that would be considered an "uneventful" day. Might barely make it on the local news at noon. Unlikely they would even mention it on the evening news unless it's a very slow news-day.

    Otherwise rational "progressives" in power tend to disarm the public and empower criminals and the police creating what might be described as a post-modern death cult mentality.

    “Perhaps most notably, the Mass Casualty Commission did not admit evidence from the FitBit of victim Heather O’Brien indicating that she may have been showing a pulse for more than eight hours after police left her for dead.

    Accusations that the Mass Casualty Commission is overlooking critical details are particularly notable given the sheer number of RCMP failures that have characterized the tragedy.

    It was an RCMP bullet that ended the massacre and one of its 22 victims was an RCMP member, Const. Heidi Stevenson, who died while bravely trying to engage the shooter. But hearings by the Mass Casualty Commission have exposed a cascade of technological and organizational failures from law enforcement that were instrumental in allowing the killings to extend into a second day.

    The gunman began his massacre by murdering 13 people in the rural neighbourhood of Portapique, N.S., where he lived.

    While police initially assumed the perpetrator had taken his own life after these first killings, he reappeared in a different part of the province the next morning and murdered another nine people before being shot to death by police at a Nova Scotia gas station.

    This week, retired RCMP Staff Sgt. Steve Halliday told the Commission that police were two hours late in warning the public that the gunman was driving a replica police cruiser — information that could have been critical in saving the lives of his final victims, who knew that a mass killer was at large, but not what he was driving.

    The Commission also heard this week from witnesses and analysts saying the response was hindered by spotty radio reception, the lack of a police helicopter and officers’ inability to access a digital map program that could have better tracked the gunman’s movements.”

    When will they ever learn?

    Your gun laws aren't the reason you have less gun-related violence.

    It is one reason. Another is the comparative lack of gun culture. There are numerous other reasons as well. And this thread isn't about your country. Not everything is.
