You are in this column, my purpose It's simple: to show that Canada has no gun crime problem, or at least no problem that warrants the kind of strict gun control that the Trudeau administration has introduced over the past two years.
On August 19, liberals will ban the legal importation of handguns into Canada. Because handgun ownership in Canada has been strictly regulated since 1934 (88), and almost all handguns used in crime in Canada are illegal handguns smuggled from the United States, the Trudeau ban is in force in Canada. It has absolutely no effect on gun crime in the United States.
Legal handguns are fine.
The only effect would be to punish legal gun owners so liberals could tell their urban supporters that the government was taking crime seriously. increase. Nonetheless, it terrifies Liberal voters, especially in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver.
Liberals are determined to earn points by quickly demonizing legal gun owners, and the Trudeau government is using legislation to ban the importation of handguns.
A judge will almost certainly overturn this liberal legal fraud, but by the time the case goes to court, the liberals (and the NDP and bloc) will impose a complete handgun ban. The fraud of their current move that would pass is debatable.
All the machinations of the liberals, including the handgun ban, the 2020 assault weapons ban, and even his 1990s gun registration, have led to liberal claims and firearm crimes being controlled by firearms. based on fanatics' claims to Canada is getting worse, worse and in danger of getting out of hand.
This perception is also fueled by biased media coverage that lacks all perspectives.
The top Canadian city on the list of the world's deadliest cities is Thunder Bay, where he had 6.35 murders per 100,000 (by all types of weapons). That may sound like a lot, but Thunder Bay's murder rate makes the city in Northern Ontario just 59- the worst
in the US. . Headlines like "Summer of the Guns" and "Raging Gun Violence." But her 10 largest city murder rates in Canada (all weapons) aren't even in the top 100 cities in the United States.
His four Canadian cities -- Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Vancouver -- where pollsters are most supportive of gun control, not only have the lowest murder rates in the country, they also have the lowest in the world. It is one of the cities with the lowest murder rate.
For example, Toronto had 1.62 homicides per 100,000 population last year. St. Louis (#1 for homicides in the US) has about 70 homicides per 100,000, 43 times more than TO. Montreal and Vancouver had a homicide rate of less than 1.0 per 100,000 people.
As a nation, we rank 10th on the Global Peace Index, and American ranks her 128th. I don't know if we can design a safer gun control program.
Even US cities aren't that bad when compared to Latin American cities. Of the top 10 cities for homicides in 2021, 5 were in Mexico, 3 in Brazil and 2 in Venezuela.
Los Cabos, Mexico, the deadliest city in the world, has 111 murders per 100,000 inhabitants. This is more than 100 times higher than her rate in Montreal (0.97 per 100,000).
If Ottawa wants to reverse Canada's low gun homicide rate, it should focus on traffickers and smugglers, not duck hunters and target shooters.
