Puppy thief shoots himself in the leg

[Catherine]

Quote:Catherine, as a Canadian, can you tell me how he got to get a gun in the first place? I thought that your country was much stricter than the USA and requires a licence (only for sound valid reasons).

Good point. It could have been an illegal gun that was smuggled across the boarder.  It isn't that easy to get a gun here. They are registered and the police know who has guns. Some people do go to gun clubs and shoot at targets. Clearly the thief wasn't a gun club member.  He shot himself. If you handle a gun properly that wouldn't happen.

We actually want to ban guns even more in Toronto.
I think city council might put something through that makes it harder to get a gun.
The illegal guns are harder to control, but we want and need to control them too.
