In the wake of the mass shooting in Toronto, the mayor of the city says “nobody needs a gun”. ย He added that if it stops one of these shootings, it’s worth disarming the populace.
Police have not ruled out terrorism but continue to explore possible motives in the shooting of fifteen people in Toronto that left two victims and the shooter dead. The killer was 29 year-old Faisal Hassain.
Hassain’s family apologized immediately as his name was released, claiming Faisal had mental issues.
Toronto Mayor John Tory isn’t waiting for answers, he is calling for complete disarmament. Despite strict gun control already in place, the mayor says “nobody needs a gun”.
Mayor Tory was cited in the National Post as not only calling the shooting that killed two people and wounded 13 others an โunspeakableโ act, but adding that the city needs even tighter restrictions on guns.
โWhy does anyone in this city need to have a gun at all?โ he said, going on to claim that total disarmament would be worth it if it prevented a single mass shooting.
โI know answering questions like this wonโt fully eliminate tragedies like this, but even if we can prevent one of these incidents, then in my view it is a discussion worth having and having very soon,โ he said.
He might prevent one shooting, but a lot more will die because people can’t defend themselves.
Thirteen people remain in the hospital with injuries ranging from minor to critical.
The police engaged the suspect and the killer fled after an exchange of gunfire. When police found him nearby, he was dead.
EZRA LEVANT OF REBEL MEDIA HAS A QUESTION
The media was very slow and extremely reluctant to identify the mass shooter in Toronto Sunday.
Ezra Levant wonders about the State’s motives. The family statement came out at the exact same times as the release of the name. The statement claims Faisal was mentally ill. Islam’s not in the equation.
I’m curious how the name of the Toronto shooter was withheld for a day, and the moment it was released, a Muslim reporter at the CBC state broadcaster issues an official statement from “the family” — that he was mentally ill, nothing to do with Islam.
It’s probably nothing. https://t.co/EBgbOGg0gf

Some say the officials are deceiving the public.
If the Toronto shooter was mentally ill, he wouldnโt have been able to fire a gun 20 times while walking & hit 14 ppl while on the move.
He was a trained assassin.
He was a trained Jihadi who traveled to Afghanistan & Pakistan. Canadian authorities knew who he was.
Terrorism.
