A new federal bill that would essentially make it impossible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns anywhere in Canada is being welcomed by Toronto residents directly impacted by the July 2018 mass shooting on Danforth Avenue.

Scarborough resident Ali Demircan, who was one of the last people to see 18-year-old shooting victim Reese Fallon alive that fateful evening, was at Parliament Hill as the bill was tabled Tuesday.

“Most Canadians want more gun control measures taken,” he said, adding they also want more community resources devoted to addressing the root causes of gun violence as well as more action taken to control guns at the border. Toronto Mayor John Tory has also expressed his support for this new legislation, which contains some of the strongest gun control measures introduced in Canada in more than 40 years.

“I have long advocated for tougher gun laws, increased penalties for those engaging in gun violence, and investments in young people to help address the roots of gun violence,” he said.

So the gun was already illegal and the shooter wasn't licensed. Explain to me again how the new gun legislation would have prevented this.

When the shootings continue how hard do you want me to laugh?

Yea because it will solve the illegal guns 😂😂😂😂

Yup go against the legal gun owners, like myself. This new gun law is utterly useless. Hope the senate votes it down. Liberals and there leader JustinTrudeau have to go.

Trudeau didn't even go to their daughter's funeral. The gall of these people

I have to wonder if any of the Danforth shooting victims wished they'd had the means to shoot back? Can't ask them now.

Were the guns legally possessed by the shooter? If not; then the new law does nothing.

It’s not the guns. It’s what causes people to pick up guns/knives/machetes /bombs and use them to kill other people that’s the problem. There’s a variety of causes. Banning guns will not stop the killing if someone is determined to kill.

What a pile of horseshit Would have changed nothing

Pretty sure the criminal who shot up the Danforth wasn't a hunter or target shooter. Call it a hunch. But ya, let's celebrate a new gun law that basically targets hunters and target shooters. How to show you are a dumb liberal without saying you are a dumb liberal...smfh
