6 people dead, including suspect, after shooting in Toronto Ontario

These situations are rare in Canada, still to me they seem to be on the increase. Will be interesting to see what the motive is and if the victims and assailant were related.

On the outside looking in Id imagine this might lead to further Gun control laws in Canada

Six people have been killed, including a male suspect who died in an interaction with police, and another is in hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries after a shooting in Vaughan, Ont., Sunday night.

York Regional Police (YRP) say it happened at a condo building in the area of Jane Street and Rutherford Road.

Police say officers arrived to find a number of victims who had been shot and killed and that the suspect was also killed after an interaction with police.

“An interaction occurred between the suspect and our officers and the suspect is now deceased,” said YRP duty inspector Const. Laura Nicolle at the scene.

YRP has confirmed that five victims were fatally shot before police arrived and a sixth victim is in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Nicolle said the investigation is in its early stages and that officers are still working their way through the condo building in search of other victims who may have been injured in the shooting.

Nicolle also said the SIU had been notified in regards to the fatal interaction between the suspect and YRP officers.

Perfectly timed to aid the liberal gun control agenda. Imagine that.🙄

Condos and rental building often have landlords/management that over time become too controlling. In the article I read, it said the victims were part of the board. Maybe he had enough of the dictatorship. Vaughan has had a group of more than 10 young kids rob people near Wonderland (in Vaughan). Canada Ont. was different in the 80's. I miss The 80's.

I may need a translation, I'm not even sure what NRA stats you're referring to. Isn't the NRA just pure 100% American no Canucks allowed?

Not to mention you know how we conservatives are with science. We only believe when it suits our agenda as long as it doesn't supersede the bible. Did I get all the stereotypes to match your level of angst? I hope so

FWIW I only mentioned the Canadian Gun Control issue because wasn't there more of a push after the incident in Nova Scotia?

I’m sure the NRA would allow Canadians to join…not sure the RCMP would let you re-enter Canada if you left for a U.S. vacation if you did join though.

Not about accepting Canadians, I'm referring to NRA wouldn't have the influence it seems to have in America.

If those people killled had been armed, most of them would probably still be alive.

Keep being illogical

Quite obviously,, more gun control laws need be passed. Frankly, I'm surprised anyone is allowed to own a firearm in Canada. I'm sure the WEF puppet totalitarian government of Canada will move quickly to resolve this obvious deficiency.

I am also surprised they had any police to respond to this. They've missed the "defund the popo" event?

Canada seems to be seriously behind the curve these days.

Say that out loud so you can hear yourself.

We are both shopping the same store and we both have guns. Someone comes in blasting everyone in their sight. You wouldn’t pull out your gun? You would allow some bloke to cap you because they are having a bad day?

Maybe you don’t need a gun in this world, but those who would save your ar$$ do.

When would be the right time for a crazy person to act crazy?
Is there a conspiracy theorist approved schedule that we can all look at?

If you'd tell me that a vest could mitigate a hit, ok, but unless your gun end up in the bullets trajectory, it won't do much.
I don't need my asse saved thanks for the offer, I live among normal civilized educated human beings we solve problem with words, although every able man over 18 has the potental to have a AR15 at home.

Look I'll give your logic a shot... guns will solve gun violence.... I can barely say that out aloud without chuckling...

Nah sorry I'm not for sounding like an idiot and claiming logic....
You keep your logic...

Sorry to tell you, guns won't save you, from your countrymen. Maybe, if you act wise, from the government... Wait i said wise... Well forget it...

Propaganda?

You know something funny.

Remember when Antifa and BLM wreaked so much havok on Seattle and Portland? Burning buildings down attacking and killing people, destroying property, setting up an "autonomous zone"?

Yeah that same group of people, decided they were going to bus over here to good ol Boise Idaho and attempt the same thing, they even had people set out stashes of bricks in dif places along their route.

Well, problem is, Idaho is a right to carry state, you dont even have to have a license.

Well when that big ol group of Antifa and BLM ran up against a virtual armada of Armed citizens who said "no thanks", they decided that they were going to be on their best behavior, and that maybe this place wasnt a great place to attempt their antics again.

They had their little rally which lasted a few hours (it was suppose to last a week) and they all got on their busses and went home

So no offense, but dont sit here and tell me that guns and armed people dont discourage violence.

Also



Not to "pull rank" here, but ive been in far far far too many positions where being armed made the difference.
Anyone who says other wise is either living in a fantasy land that, quite honestly I would LOVE were true, or they are lying to themselves.

Same thing in WI. We carry. The rioters bussed into Kenosha FAFO, didn't they?

A few less rioters make the World a better place. RIP losers.

Ohio has Constitutional Carry now (CCW, no permit for residents). And has been open carry for more than 100 years maybe always has been open carry.

Do I regularly carry? That’s the point, you don’t know. So if you were about to do something…maybe no one stops you. Maybe a 100 guns come out pointed at you. I might, I might not. If I do, then I might shoot or might not. Just an option that has to be considered.

Does it work? I have not shot anyone nor had need to shoot anyone. But you sill have no idea if I am carrying or not.

I'm not going to feel bad on this one. An HOA pushed someone too far, something they do a lot of.

I've been in those shoes. They make a lot of bad decisions just to be petty.

In Canada, while all the law abiding gun owners sit back and listen to the government’s plans to take our firearms, nothing is being said about any plans to take them off the criminals.

I’ll be handing in mine but many won’t.

THEN the government will need to come up with a plan to take them off the criminals. Because everyone who still has one will be a criminal.

For the most part, in Canada, people own firearms for hunting, sport, and competition.

Firearm-related violent crime represents a small proportion of police-reported violent crime in Canada, accounting for 2.8% of all victims of violent crime reported by police in 2020.

Of note, for an incident to be considered firearm-related, a firearm need only be present during the commission of the offence, not necessarily used.“

There is little information currently collected about the characteristics of these firearms, such as details about the exact type of gun, who owned it (e.g., accused, victim, or someone else), how it was stored, or whether the owner was licensed.

Seems like they are putting the cart before the horse here, accusing lawful owners of being the problem.

Forbes.

www.forbes.com...

Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.
