A man from Newfoundland and Labrador has set out on a campaign to ban handguns and automatic weapons after his nephew, Ephraim Brown, 11, was shot to death in Toronto in July.
Police said the boy was at a birthday party in the backyard of a north Toronto townhouse complex when he was shot in the neck during gunfire between rival gangs.
Verdon Brown is the boy's uncle and lives in Peterview, a small town in central Newfoundland.
Now, Brown has sent a letter to Ottawa demanding that handguns be made illegal. He said he wants the Newfoundland and Labrador government and Premier Danny Williams to support his cause.
