News / Politics / Activism Media continues to lie.

After the shooting at the Toronto festival, multiple media outlets have reported that the Toronto Police Chief has called for “gun control” and “tougher gun laws” in response to what happened.

However, the reports are highly misleading and inaccurate.

He actually called for tougher sentencing for those who commit firearms offences, especially in crowds.

He said: “We need some reforms that address that and recognize that if you pull out a gun in a public space, in a public square or the Eaton Centre or any other public gathering and fire it indiscriminately, that should be treated with the utmost seriousness in the law.”

This is just one of many examples that prove how biased the media is. Everyone knows that “gun control” refers to laws restricting the acquisition, transfer and possession of firearms, not tougher sentences for things that are already illegal, everywhere.

Make no mistake, the media is not on our side.

Poly and the media know that banning more guns isn't going to reduce crime, but that's not why they're doing it. They're doing it to punish the people who they blame for what happened at polytechnic all those years ago.

And none of us had anything to do with that.

They just hate firearms in general, in addition to what happened. They think firearms are rural, firearms are American, Firearms are for people who enjoy their freedoms and are ok with the inherent risk in that, firearms are used to hunt and kill animals for food. All of these things offend the progressive liberal mind.

My opinion of course, but they probably are pushing it because ultimately they want the state to retain the monopoly on violence.

They want it because the state also wants it, and is willing to pay them handsomely to leverage their past to push a narrative that if you or I were to oppose, then we'd be labeled as monsters for doing so.

Unfortunately, this strategy is still overall working in their favor, but it is also not too late to expose their bald-faced lies and halt it in its tracks; even if it is indeed too late, we still have alternatives.

Yep, they fucking psychotic nut jobs and once I felt sorry for them but now I wish they didn't survive.

This is also the first steps towards comm*nism and dictators running things is by disarming the civilian population.

If you say so. I lost all pity for them when they went on this psychotic crusade against law abiding citizens for no reason and that will do NOTHING to solve gun crime in any sort of way at all. Add the fact they constantly post lies and misinformation to try and fool the public and they have never used facts or statistics and ignore everything presented to them that goes against their agenda even though facts and statistics can't be argued they just ignore it all and lie lie lie to slander and defame law abiding firearm owners.

So why should I feel sorry for them now as opposed to feeling anger and frustration? They brought this on themselves with this foolish and misguided crusade against law abiding citizens. We had nothing to do with that tragic incident, yet we're being dragged through the mud and our freedoms being stripped away, all based on lies and their hatred towards us when we literally did nothing wrong.

My man there is a difference between not feeling sorry for them or disagreeing with them and wishing them murdered, sincerely please seek help 🙏

I have no need to seek help, Provost and her fellow nut jobs are the ones that need to seek help. I'm not calling for them to be murdered, because your comment makes it sound as if I want to see them murdered now, which is NOT what I said and not what I would condone.
