Tough Talk from David Miller a Refreshing Blast of Honesty

In light of the recent and disappointing U.S. Supreme Court overturning the Washington D.C. ban on handguns, Toronto mayor David Miller spoke directly to the impact this will have on the safety of Torontonians and Canadians. He declared that "the easy supply of handguns in the U.S. leads directly to people being killed in Toronto. It's that direct."

I am sick and tired of gun lovers pretending that easy access to weapons does not have an impact on the amount of people being wounded and killed with firearms. I appreciate the mayor's blunt honesty in this matter.

Guns are dangerous and deadly weapons, and only when we as a society come to see that the harm they pose far outweighs any benefit will be able to solve this problem. David Miller is truly helping this cause by directly explaining the lives at risk when guns are in easy and cheap supply.
