Nov 8, 2018: Liberals will spend $86 million to tackle rise in gang and gun violence
Aug 26, 2019: Federal government gives Ontario $54 million to fight illegal guns and gangs
That is something yes point taken..but is it just feel good stuff.?Does it really address the issues of how easy it is to smuggle weapons because of how long our border is? You think it will have any difference on how guns get smuggled in or with gangs? The proximity of living next door to a country with no shortage of weapons makes preventing smuggling of weapons an almost impossible task.
Preventing police from shaking down known gang members during regular patrols has added to the problem although I appreciate why people feel profiling is racist or fascist or both. I get that.
I do agree to your point it is something but I think its token gestures. So this brings us back to what kind of security measures do we want on our borders? The reality is we do not have sufficient money to police our borders and so guns will keep coming in illegally like drugs. Like drugs you can outlaw the sale of them but they end up on the streets. The border control issue is a non partisan issue that plagues any Prime Minister.
