Toronto is a safe city but we continue to face unacceptable incidents of gun violence. There is something we can do as Torontonians and as Canadians.
We must join together to call on the Parliament of Canada to ban the private ownership of handguns. Mayor David Miller asks that you add your name to the City of Toronto's petition for a Canada-wide handgun ban.
Miller unveils video, launches petition to ban handguns
THE ONLY PEOPLE allowed to own handguns in Canada are police and security officers, target shooters and collectors.
Mayor David Miller wants to see the law changed so that handguns would be banned for collectors, too.
"Handguns are not necessary in the 21st century in Canada. It's about time the federal government started listening to the people ... on this one. The people are right," Bentley said.
