Dude (white?) in all black, black ballcap, w/ messenger bag is walking down street, stops, turns suddenly, fires handgun into restaurant.
Unfortunately it appears we have at least one confirmed.No deaths so far, from reports. Thankfully.

There have always been some mass shootings here. There's not really anything that could be done about it, short of banning firearms (and even in that case, given the porous nature of our southern border, even that would only go so far).Multiple people shot and injured, by a deranged individual who is now dead. What a fucking waste. How the fuck are we gonna have this shit here now, how do we stop it?
You can go to jail for carrying illicit drugs. You should go to jail for carrying a fucking gun.
Just a few days ago Mayor John Tory unveiled a plan to install a huge number CCTV cameras and special microphones that can distinguish gunshots.There have always been some mass shootings here. There's not really anything that could be done about it, short of banning firearms (and even in that case, given the porous nature of our southern border, even that would only go so far).
Now, I expect we're going to see more specific strategies for dealing with the recent wave of gun violence in Toronto.
That may have been referring to the shooter, who we know was killed at the scene. These early reports are sometimes confusing in that regard in that they will often list the shooter among the dead.
I think it will happen here. We will not make this become desensitized like countries where this is a daily occurence.
I would support a complete ban of guns outside of active police and military members.
It definitely will not. I wouldn't be opposed to it on policy grounds, to be clear, but gun owners are a large constituency. Recall the Chretien government's long-gun registry, which was a firestorm controversy, was never effectively enforced because the provinces mostly refused to do so in regard to people not complying with it, and was ultimately repealed by the Tories with no movement to recreate it. And that was just a registry.
Not just this country, I wouldn't want this to happen anywhere.Please god. Not in this country. I don't know why but I swear I hear more about gun violence in the GTA. I dont want this here, and I pray our country can get this shit under control

Toronto police have confirmed that the shooter is dead and that there are fatalities.
yup CBC Newsworld confirmed the shooter to be dead.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh what's going on in the city. So much shootings this year
Nah theres been a few bad summers. This could be the worst though.This is what I cannot understand. There hasn't been gang activity or criminal shit like this until just recently.
Makes no sense
About 1 in 5 households in Canada owns a firearm, the bulk of which are long guns (hunting rifles, in the main). In rural areas, especially, it's far too common for any party that wants to win seats there to propose such a thing. Which is indeed why no party has ever proposed anything remotely like that.I know what you are saying(and am not arguing because I know you are merely providing a counterpoint) but gun owners can go fuck themselves. This is not the US with it's bullshit 2nd ammendment idiocy. This should not be a political or freedom issue, but a public safety priority. Tories can bitch all they want, but Canadians become unified over humanitarean causes, and the opposition party can commit political suicide for all I care.
I don't remember how bad the "Summer of the Gun" was, is this summer approaching that amount of media hoopla?Nah theres been a few bad summers. This could be the worst though.

They are, but it doesn't matter because because of the lackluster regulations in the USA gangs can just drive down to the USA, get a gun no questions asked then drive back up with the border guards none the wiser. It's fucking bullshit, but it's what we have to deal with.
dude so nonchalantly walks there and fires, fucking piece of human garbageSomeone recorded the shooter on Instagram.
NSFW just in case. You only see him shooting.
Lemme know if this is alright to post; I can delete it or a mod can if necessary.
