States eye allowing concealed carry of guns without a permit
Republican lawmakers in several more states want to loosen gun restrictions by allowing people to carry concealed firearms without having to get a permit, continuing a trend that gun control advocates call dangerous. Fifteen states already allow concealed carry without a permit, and lawmakers in...

Mystery solved: Why Liberal gun-safety measures have languished
The Trudeau government is up to its neck in a Federal Court battle over the sweeping cabinet prohibition of thousands of semi-automatic rifles last May, but gun-control advocates are concerned that key elements of the firearm law the Liberals passed in 2019 have not yet taken effect. Bill C-71 —...

The Liberal Gun Grab is Just Plain Wrong
Last May, with an Order in Council, while Parliament was suspended, a plethora of firearms became prohibited in Canada, and with it, the lawful owners of those firearms became criminals, unless they turn over their property to the federal government, at some undetermined date, and for an...

They can’t bring back two amazing girls who had their life snuffed out by bullets from an illegal gun fired by Faisal Hussain in 2018.
But those caught in the evil shooting spree on The Danforth — a rampage that killed Julianna Kozis, 10, and Reese Fallon, 18, and wounded 13 others — are now able to sue the manufacturer of the gun used on that July 22 evening.

Ken Price, whose daughter Samantha was injured by the gunfire, brought forward the ruling by Justice Paul Perell on Friday.
“Justice Perell stated that the facts of the case are clear and simple; the victims were shot by an individual using a stolen handgun that had been manufactured by Smith & Wesson,” said Price. “The design of the handgun did not utilize available technology that would have made it unusable by an unauthorized user.”

That same .40 calibre handgun was used by Hussain, 29, to take his own life.
This decision by the judge is a stepping-stone for the plaintiffs, who must now seek approval of the other aspects of the lawsuit certification.

Price has always maintained there is nothing about this suit that will restore the loss or repair the damage that resulted from one of the worst crimes ever committed in Toronto.
“Nothing will bring back our girls, nor erase the injury and memories of that horrible night,” said Price. “But we are pleased to see our courts agree that Smith & Wesson should be made to answer for the absence of smart safety features in the weapon used that night.”
“Our goal is to see Smith & Wesson held accountable and to help avoid similar tragedies for other families in the future,” he added.
We have reached out to Smith & Wesson for comment and will present that if and when they offer it. One thing that needs to be said is the American company, based in Springfield, Massachusetts, did not fire this gun. That was done by a troubled individual who had AK-47 ammunition and conspiracy theory CD’s in his family’s apartment.

Mayor Pete was right when he said "If your vote can't protect you, your AR-15 can't protect you."
So I got an AR-10.
So I got an AR-10.
So they want to sue and find responsible the firearm manufacturer that didn't have the foresight to disable their handgun that was stolen and illegally smuggled into Canada?

Many are praying for a Valentine’s Day miracle for Alyssa Driscoll.
And so far, the 14-year-old girl shot around 3 a.m. Friday in an apartment at 25 Stong Court is beating the odds.
She remains in “critical care fighting for her life at Sick Kids Hospital” her grandmother, Rita Stuckey, said in a post on GoFundMe Sunday.
Shot in the head, her challenges are immense. But her grandmother indicates the family is looking to the future and seeking financial assistance to help Alyssa recover from this tragic, life-changing event.
“Our whole family is devastated but staying strong to support Alyssa through this terribly tragic time,” wrote Stuckey. “We are calling on all our friends, family and community members to send your prayers and well wishes as well as any monetary amount possible as every little bit helps. All funds will be put towards her medical costs as well as further treatment on her path to recovery.”

As of Sunday afternoon, almost $2,000 of the campaign’s $20,000 goal had been raised.
Sources say the incredible doctors and nurses at Sick Kids are doing everything in their power to give her a chance.
“Anyone who knows Alyssa or her family, knows what an amazing young lady she is with such a zest for life and how close a bond she shares with her family,” said Stuckey.
Toronto Police, meanwhile, are hard at work investigating this bizarre crime.
The working theory is an allegedly illegal handgun went off when the weapon was handled in a careless manner.
Police have been looking for four people who scattered from the apartment and so far there have been no updates on the status of those persons of interest. While they are believed to be young people, as well, police believe there were adults asleep in the apartment.
In a media availability Friday, Supt. Pauline Gray made it clear the girl is expected to live. But she also offered the opportunity for the youth to come forward and talk to police about this unfortunate incident.
“It really is to their advantage to make, especially witnesses, to come in and tell us exactly what happened,” Gray told reporters.
Detectives are still trying to work out the series of events, players involved, and their state of mind.
It is believed the gun was left at the scene, but police have not confirmed that.
Gray and Supt. Ron Taverner wore their hearts on their sleeves by saying they are all cheering on the girl through this ugly situation.
“Everybody is rooting for her,” said Taverner. “She’s just a kid who doesn’t deserve this.”
It’s hard to know how it will turn out but for now, everyone is praying for a miracle.

After being shot in the head, 14-year-old Alyssa Driscoll told her father, “daddy, I don’t want to die.”
With the teen now critically injured in a bed at Sick Kids, her dad, Brandon Driscoll, who spent Family Day at her side, said his daughter showed some signs of progress on Monday.
“Right now it seems like only one side of her body is functioning — like her hand and leg … but she will need most definitely therapy to get better,” Brandon said Monday.
“Oh, she was also able to know her name and my name and I asked her her age and she answered correctly — 14 — and then I said, ‘What is our last name?’ and she said ‘Driscoll.'”
Taken off life support, but still listed in critical condition, Alyssa was hit by a bullet inside her apartment at 25 Stong Crt. at around 3 a.m. Friday.
Toronto Police officers continue to work at figuring out what happened in that apartment. It’s believed a gun went off accidentally.
“My home has been destroyed because of the crime scene,” added Driscoll. “I just renovated and bought the kids all new bedroom sets and a TV and the TV is destroyed because the bullet went out her head and into the TV.”
He said that his daughter asked to wear his gold bracelet for good luck “and it’s on her hand now.”
Brandon passed on his comments to the Toronto Sun through family friend Michelle Larabie.
“The paramedics and doctors said that if he had not squeezed her head as hard as he did she would have died,” said Michelle.

Michelle said doctors have been clear the girl will face major issues going forward, adding “the doctors already said she will not be the same Alyssa as she was before the shooting.”
But her dad still has her.
As a single father, he has been raising two daughters for the past nine years. He’s devastated.
“He’s broken,” added Michelle.
The girl’s grandmother, Rita Stuckey, has launched a GoFundMecampaign which had garnered nearly $2,800 by Monday evening. With a goal of $20,000, money raised through the effort will help pay for medical support once the teen is released from hospital.
“Our whole family is devastated but staying strong to support Alyssa through this terribly tragic time,” wrote Stuckey.
It is believed that Brandon was asleep at the time of the shooting and immediately tended to his daughter after the shot woke him. Four visitors fled after the shooting.
Police have been tight-lipped about their investigation.
Michelle said that “Brandon’s “going through hell.” So is Alyssa whose words after the shooting still resonate.

First of all, this is unworkable.
Municipalities are totally under the control of the province. It would, IMHO, be unconstitutional for the feds to displace the province in setting legal parameters for a city.
To say nothing of using the Criminal Code to enforce municipal legislation. Just ludicrous.
Do you want to know how ludicrous these people are?
Do the anti-gunners understand that if this bill passes, the film "A Christmas Story" becomes the tale of a misguided, desperate young person seeking to illegally obtain a prohibited weapon?
Yes, the Red Ryder BB gun will be a prohibited weapon under this law.
Yes, I'm serious.
Along with every pellet gun, airsoft gun, or paintball gun made to look like a firearm.
That is what we've come to.
This gov't has got to go.
