Topic Title: Gun Violence
Topic Summary: I cannot believe this - there must be a solution
I live right at Jane and Finch in Toronto, for anyone who doesn't know it is pretty much the worst part of the city. There have been constant gun problems there.
So, you may have heard that on boxing day 2 groups of teenagers all wielding pistols (a total of 15 of them) began shooting at each other in the downtown core. Not one of them hit their intended target, the only people shot are believed to be innocent by-standers, one of which was a young girl who has died.
My question is this: Is there anything that can be done to help stop this gaining gun violence?
Solution is simple, arm everyone possible and with instructions to fire back.
In no time the idiots you cite here in the article, around Toronto and the rest of Canada experiencing this problem would not only begin to aim better but they most likely would go away, for good.
To put it another way, the problem is not gun violence, the problem is that not enough citizenry is armed.
