Innocent Man Shot To Death - Let's Ban Criminals
Early Saturday morning a man walking on busy Yonge Street in downtown T-Dot was shot to death. He just happened to be in the wrong spot at the wrong moment.
The shooter was aiming for the doorman of a club that had turfed him and his buddy out for allegedly behaving badly. The two young men left the club but returned moments later and accidentally shot a man walking home. It is alleged that he was aiming for the doorman. This is very similar to the Jane Creba shooting of two years ago. In that case a young girl shopping with her family on Boxing Day was caught in the crossfire between rival gangs. She died.
Predictably, Mayor Miller is calling for a total ban of guns in the city of Toronto. Since the first murder in Toronto was committed with a gun, I suggest that we ban all criminals instead...
This is a big city, shit happens and it is not the only city in the world where people get murdered. I wish it didn't happen, I wish there were no gangs, no abusive husbands who kill, but wishes won't put an end murder and neither will banning guns. Those who intend to do harm will just find another way.

Alas, there is wisdom in what you say. And, with the judicial system we have in Canada, we'll never see criminals banned. Surely our courts encourage them, don't they?
Ah yes Ian, our Judges need a wake up call here. The young girl killed on New Years day was stabbed yet Mayor Miller didn't ask for a ban on knives. I don't particularly like guns but it's not guns that kill, it's people using them that kill...
What about baseball bats, crossbows and axes? Criminals should be banned...sentencing is not tough enough to discourage them.
People are getting away with murder...our judicial system is too soft on hard cons.
