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.

Handguns purchases have been banned for few years now. Nothing changed, criminals are still criminals and don’t take laws seriously

It’s not the purchase that’s been banned but the transfer. You can buy as many handguns as you want but you can’t get the transfer into your name. It’s a nit picky differentiation but when we talk about this stuff those detail matter.

No, this "detail" actually doesn't matter. It matters just as much as saying I can "buy" a machine gun or any of the OIC banned firearms from an appropriately licensed business, despite never being able to get it transferred to me.

You can’t buy handguns period. If a weapon can’t be transferred to you it can’t be purchased. The only exception is .22 handguns for Olympic shooting for RPAL holders.
