What's Canada's murder rate?
Yeah....doesn't matter....it is going up because.....gun control doesn't work...it shouldn't be going up at all since Canada has strict gun control laws...right? and yet it is....why...because some of their criminals have decided they need guns because they want to shoot people....so they got guns and they shot people.......even with all of Canada's gun control laws.....
Yes it does matter because canadian thugs are buying them from US. And you have to drag Obama with your racist bullshit. It's good for you because you can sell more guns.
How`s Canada doing with mass shootings? Is a movie goer or a second grader or a mall shopper safer in Canada than they are here? Of course they are because criminals don`t have their own lobbying organization working for them as they do here nor do they allow the mentally ill to stockpile weapons.
Yes...funny that obama didn't mention that Canada...that paradise of gun control laws....has seen a spike in gun crime and gun murder......even though they have strict gun control...funny how our democrat controlled media failed to point this out....
Toronto's gun crime stats have spiked
TORONTO - Welcome to Toronto’s Summer of the Gun 2015.
It’s a headline neither Toronto Police nor city hall want to see.
There is no question statistics can be made to look a lot of different ways, but some statistics are just plain ugly.
Scary, actually.
For example, 36 more people have been shot so far this year in Toronto than at this point last year.
Toronto Police statistics show a 90% increase in people wounded by gunfire and a 48% increase in shootings (135 compared to 91).
And there have been 106 more shooting victims (those hit by gunfire, as well as those victimized by it).
In fact, the 227 shooting victims so far this year is 31 more than the total for all of 2014.
It’s true not all shooting victims have been hit by gunfire, but as Deputy Chief Peter Sloly points out, every gun shot, whether into the air or a tree, is one that could ricochet and strike an innocent victim like we saw in 2012 when a two-year-old was hit.
If you add the death and injury statistics, Toronto has seen 88 dead or wounded by gunfire in 2015 compared to 53 at this time last year. That’s a 66% increase.
It’s a big spike.
Shocking, horrifying numbers that seem to have just snuck up on us.
Many seem worried about the controversial carding issue, but these scary stats aren’t getting the same media attention. It doesn’t feel like a particularly violent summer, but the stats indicate otherwise.
You are pathetic. Grasping at straws. That's about one city chump, not the whole country. We're doing pretty good thank you.
And;
Canada also introduced tougher gun control measures, following the École Polytechnique Massacre in 1989. Tougher screening processes were introduced for all gun purchases including risk assessments, background checks and firearms registration. Later, further classes of firearms “not reasonably used in hunting” (prohibiting semi-automatic assault weapons) became restricted.
The new measures appeared to accelerate a downward trend in gun violence involving long weapons (rifles and shotguns) but also revealed a shift to handguns as criminal weapons of choice, as Canada also experienced an upsurge in street-gang problems. Tighter controls on handguns have also followed, having some positive impact over the past five years although, in this regard, Canada’s efforts are rather undermined by the lax gun laws of its neighbour to the south. An overwhelming number of criminal handguns intercepted by the police in Canada are illegally sourced from the US.
Yeah.....the article is from 2015...dipstick...

1,000 mass shootings in the u.s. since Sandyhook and you`re okay with that. You`re hardly qualify to be called a human being.
Inglis, Florida: home to the 1,000th US mass shooting since Sandy Hook

You didn't comment on my main criticism of your OP-you use one year spike in one city to categorize a whole country. By the way Toronto is the largest city in Canada. Your article states "If you add the death and injury statistics, "Toronto has seen 88 dead or wounded by gunfire in 2015." Your article calls that number "horrifying". What would a newspaper call that Stat in your biggest city? And I assume you're criticizing my use of a three year old graph. If you've ever searched for similar data you know it's hard to find up to date (current) aggregates of statistics of this type. For instance google "FBI gun homicide rates 2015" and you get something like these;
Your point in the OP seemed to be that Canada's gun regulations have not had a positive effect. There is evidence to the contrary but like I said you really misrepresented one story about one city to push your NRA narrative. Grasping at straws. And pulling Obama into the conversation just represents a microcosm of the Republican agenda since he was elected. Say no to everything in case he might succeed at something and blame him for everything even if he's 12 steps removed from the event. Way more concern for anti-Obama memes than what is actually good for America. That's been typical of everything, not just gun control. I truly believe that 100 yrs. from now future Americans will look back at the whole bunch of you as in the same hated category as Benedict Arnold.
