1) police don’t trace long guns
2) you have a crystal ball that allows you to categorically state they are domestic?

What’s your source?
**********

Be that as it may, which is neither here nor there.

Gun crime is something of a loose criteria. A person could be forgiven for assuming that the types of gun crimes the overwhelming majority of tax payers are concerned about are

Violent crimes in conjunction with firearms.

And the fact you can’t dance around that has nothing to do with gun cultures. Is that the majority of those are committed by

Hand guns......
which further......

which was was the point.


So of the 28% anyone can conclusively say came from A or B. And of the 14% that are known, to be from domestic sources......

And the vast majority of tax payers far more worried about armed robberies, murders, blood on the streets, and not guns found in the woods ( counted as gun crime)

......etc


Gord, if your inclined check the MTPS shooting map. It’s interesting. Some might spin that into a race debate, other like myself a debate about socioeconomic factors instead

[welsh]

What’s your source?

Publicly available police reports.

And for the “record” I was talking with G

This is an open forum. If you want to have a private conversation, take it to PM.

...yet you know the are exclusively domestic...

*Almost* exclusively, I said. While you're whinging about being quoted accurately.

Nobody in the real world disputes that. I'm not going to argue the point, any more than I'd debate the Flat Earth Society.

JB you are right about the many factors that cause someone to shoot a gun at another human being. I just don't think it is more prevalent in any particular race. It is circumstance, environment not heredity. Most members of gangs in Canada were born here, it is not an immigration problem, they are Canadian kids. Many people use the immigration argument to say,....... it's not us, it's them.

[Gilroy]

What, are no gangs made up of those born and bred here? When they are born here, (many 3rd, 4th generations), immigration discussions are redundant. If they are Canadian , they are 'us' , therefore we cannot blame it on 'others'.... Fix the root problems, no one (race), is born 'bad'.

Agree 100% no more excuses about being disadvantaged as 1st generation,they are into 3 and 4th so essentially Canadians.Maybe we cut to much slack for them which older generations did not get Italians,Portuguese,and way back to Irish ,Scots.

Welsh,

I think you are very well read on this gun subject and you have your opinions based on your experience BUT have you ever been in an Ontario Housing Complex,lets say Jane and Finch area,Jamestown Cres,St Jamestown,Mosspark.Regent Park.

LoR, Fishermccann, and myself and probably a few others on here have actually spent years in these projects,we know the criminal mentality and the hardships that decent people face who have to live in these area,s.I really think a walking tour of Dundas Street and Sherbourne Street area would do you a World of good to widen the scope of your experience.Down there is the REAL WORLD the question is , have you ever been down in the real world?

Care to explain how that relates to the point I made, which was concerned entirely with how police record statistics re tracing of crime guns?

Are the people in said housing complexes involved in the tracing activity? Or are they involved only in compiling the statistics? To what extent does the criminal mentality of gangbangers influence this?

Seriously. Do explain. I'll wait.
