Not as many as you'd think. Most Canadians don't give much thought to gun control (or defence or law and order in general, for that matter) until either their government or MSM tells them they should.
But acts like this can sway the undecided towards the anti side.

Governments break the law all the time, in fact most people break the law on a regular basis. There are so many laws, regulations, polices that no one could hope to know them all and can break them unwittingly or because the law is seen to be stupid.

Sounds like Toronto Police are well prepared for Caribbean Carnival this weekend.
Hopefully everyone enjoys the festivities and stay safe.

Appears his "Crime" was not following the PAL verification process for transferring firearms, which makes you a trafficker.

Seem reasonable. Bully are tough until they start getting hit back.

Just read that and found it interesting myself. It's almost as if police have known this since around Columbine, but in Canada we keep getting told legal firearms owners, like the gentleman in the story, are the true problem.
I'm not saying I'd daily CCW, but given the option, I'd take the training and make sure I could when I wanted to.

I used to be pretty solidly against CCW.
But as I watch the continued impotence of our law enforcement organizations and government, my pendulum has swung to where I no longer trust them to respond properly or on time when it comes to my personal safety or my family's safety. I think it's high time that Canadians were given the legislative and legal cover to be able to carry concealed weapons.

Considering the amount of drug addled criminals walking around in public these days it isn’t a bad idea.
The amount of random stabbings in completely public areas by random people to random people has caused me to always consider where I am going and how prepared I am, especially if I am with my family.
It isn’t just criminal on criminal violence, or stabbings for a reason, it is random where the victim did nothing to provoke or cause the attack.
Remember in Canada you need to wear seatbelts in case of a car accident, have smoke alarms in case of a fire, but god forbid you planned on how to protect yourself or your family from a aggressor.

We do have that in the system, Authorization To Carry. It's almost never issued.
