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.

Not only did he state that "the vast amount of firearms used in crimes come in illegally from the US", he then doubled down and said that legal firearms owners are NOT the problem (IN THIS ACTUAL GD INTERVIEW). To finish, he said unequivocally that his police force will NOT be coming door to door and confiscating firearms from permit-holding, legal firearms owners. This cannot be further from the truth. Makes me sick TBH
