Weekend Of Violence: Number Of People Shot In Toronto Rises To 17

There were 14 separate shootings.

Toronto’s surge of weekend violence continued, with 14 separate shootings resulting in 17 people being shot in total.

Authorities were stunned by the rampant shootings, which would be about the equivalent of 170 people being shot in one American city when accounting for population.

After five people were shot at a North York nightclub, two men were shot in downtown.

Then, in Lawrence Heights, two men were shot.

Many have pointed out that, despite strict gun control laws, illegal guns are rampant in Toronto, and the authorities seem unable to do anything about it. Yet, the politicians keep calling for more laws that would end up hurting law-abiding rural firearms owners, instead of addressing the real problem of urban gang crime and violence.

In fact, many of the tools used by police to address gang crime have been taken away by the same pandering politicians who are unable to solve the problem or even acknowledge it.
