Toronto Police Union Says Handgun Ban Will Have ’Zero Impact’ On Crime

Toronto’s police union boss is dismissing a city handgun ban as a way of addressing the escalating crime and homicides in the city.

As the Toronto Sun reports, Toronto Police Association President Mike McCormack broke his silence on the proposed ban Monday, saying, “A handgun ban would fail to stop Toronto’s violence and murders. I would support anything that would have an impact, but a ban wouldn’t get to the core of the issue. A municipal government banning handguns will have zero impact.”

Toronto Mayor John Tory disagreed with the police force president and continued to demand a total handgun ban in the city — something that the Trudeau government is considering for the whole country.

Tory repeated his oft-repeated line, questioning why people even seek handgun ownership in his city.

“I don’t know why anyone would need a handgun in Toronto. If we can take one gun out of one hand, we can save one life,” Tory insisted.

CanaDUH. Justine truDOH! So maybe if they print the "NO GUNS ALLOWED!" signs in French that would help? Non? To the 'mare' of ToronDOH!, so, if a law abiding citizen with a handgun (rare, we know) were to save one life by using that handgun, that would be a bad thing? I'm sure the polite canadian criminals would be glad to comply with the NO handgun laws. Quelle idiots.

Toronto meet Chicago/Atlanta/Detroit/Baltimore/NYC which have real strict gun laws.

Criminals would still have and carry their guns ,D’oh

Oh yeah, the best way to stop gun crime is to make sure law abiding citizens can’t have guns.

Just what the criminals want: unarmed citizens.

>>Criminals would still have and carry their guns ,D’oh<<

Of COURSE not!!

Once criminals know guns are banned, they will immediately cease to use them in city limits!

Everyone knows this has been proven in paradises such as Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and so many other liberal-run cities with strong anti-gun laws!

The US and Canada could confiscate guns from every law abiding citizen but would be unable to stop thousands of illegal guns flooding across their borders.
