This must be a mistake, you haven’t been “Allowed” to own a firearm in Canada for some time.

Sure not allowed to own,, mmhh totally illegal! So how did the dynamic shooter get supplied.? From a local major arms producing nation. Maybe when they get him/her well and truly shackled the pollies will ask if he had to pay any tarrifs on the 'equipment'. No difference, humans got injured, Worldwide NOT ALLOWED please

Hawk, noted what type of hunting fire arm, magazined? (and what licensing requirements)? You get the gist. Allowed to own for what proven purpose

It's that damn southern border, Canadians need to levy tariffs until the illegal gun trade is brought under control by the usa.

KOC, we not only need to place tariffs on the Land of Delusion to our south until they name a gun czar and put a lot of effort into preventing the smuggling of illegal guns into Canada, we also need to declare the gun cartels terrorist organizations, including the makers of guns who eagerly sell to them.

Oh, and demand it takes steps to become a democracy rather than a duopoly.

You have been cheering on an invasion by a violent non-democratic leader that has led to 500,000 deaths and counting over the past three years.

How seriously do you want us to take you?

Must have been because they were really upset they couldn't imbibe their favorite American bourbon anymore...

The Liberal party will use this as an excuse to take legal guns away from licensed hunters to appeal to ignorant voters in Toronto.

Two of the men had handguns, and one had an assault rifle, per Paul Macintire, Superintendent with the Organized Crime Unit for Toronto Police.

Yet, nobody was killed. Not very good shots. They all needed more time at the range.

The news doesn't say which firearms, if any, were illegally obtained.

Having a firearm in the Toronto area doesn't make much sense, unless you are a hunter and go to the fantastic wilderness that Canada has to offer for sports. But if you live in that wilderness, there are plenty of dangerous animals where having a rifle is really a safety precaution. I'm not a fan of handguns for anyone, anywhere.

https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/10-most-dangerous-animals-in-canada.html says that Moose (huge Deer!) are the most dangerous to humans.

Also, it should be noted that Moose kill more humans than legal firearm owners in Canada, so it is a serious issue. fatalities per capita

Moose 1.96

Legal Firearms 0.96

Moose seem like big, dumb, animals, but when they are unhappy, they can be vicious. They are seen roaming in many Canadian cities - there's very little that can be done to force a moose to leave without shooting them.

Crime and home invasion are out of control in Toronto so people who live there DO need firearms to protect themselves and their family.
