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.

Absolutely! I've been saying for years that this kind of blatant lying from the media should be illegal and subject to criminal charges and massive fines and jail time for those complicit in the bias bullshit lies.

I’d settle for just a civil suit lol. Because tbh, at the end of the day it really is just full circle, punishing people for “disinformation” which tbh, slippery slope. But fuck these guys, I wish a class action lawsuit was possible over this

I mean essentially what they’re doing is libel, defaming law abiding gun owners over the actions of criminals

That is true, I just unfortunately don’t see a world where the courts also see it that way

Based and grounded in reality. The harder you swing the proverbial pendulum towards one side, then the harder it will swing back the other way when the time comes. Better to just stop it in the middle instead.
