Concerns about the "sinister uses" of guns in society have prompted University of Toronto officials to rid the campus of its 88-year-old sport shooting range, despite its continued popularity and spotless safety record.I dunno Catherine... given the repeated unwillingness of the various "communities" out there to cooperate with the police... there actually seems to be a demonstrated never-ending tolerance for gun violence... but don't let that stop you from shutting down a legitimate activity that hasn't harmed a single person in almost a century of it's existence.
"In today's world, even the perception of tolerance of guns and gun violence is seen as a negative," said Catherine Riggall, the university's vice-president of business affairs, who approved the decision recently.
Ms. Riggall concludes...
"This is the last university in the country to have a gun range on campus ... it's just not seen as a priority activity."Unlike the university's renowned "Sexual Diversity" program...
"Visiting lecturers will address technical aspects of flogging, restraint, and role-play."Good grief.
Let Ms. Riggall know how you feel.

UPDATE: But how could this happen again...
They already shut down the university gun range... the problem was supposed to be fixed.
There was no word on whether this latest execution-style shooting was related to any of the city's recent gun homicides, including Sunday's murder of aspiring rapper Michael George.I guess they didn't get the word at "Banger Central."
