Marketplace... the lost episodes

Yes, Virginia, it's knuckle-dragging neo-conservative magic...
easy to aim"They're so easy to use that an untrained CBC reporter was able to hit a bullseye at the range, something he couldn't do with the standard pistol and shotgun."
So, what you're saying is... "'restricted' so-called 'assault rifles' are actually safer than plain old everyday shotguns?"

And while we're on changes to the Toronto Police Force, er... Service...
The head of the union representing the city’s front-line cops is fighting back after Deputy Chief Peter Sloly told a community forum that Toronto could probably make do with several hundred “fewer officers.”

Sloly also reportedly told the forum that the TPS is “wasting money on infrastructure” and could probably eliminate several hundred officers just by leveraging “big data.”
Who needs big guns when you can get big data?

RELATED: BIG DATA this, Deputy...
A male is dead following a shooting in Etobicoke, Toronto police have confirmed. It happened in the Kipling Avenue and The Kingsway area a short time ago.

The victim – whose age was not immediately provided – was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
And again...
One man is dead and another has been injured following a double shooting in Scarborough late Wednesday night. It happened at around 11:30 p.m. near Morecambe Gate, located in the area of Victoria Park Avenue and Finch Avenue.
Yup, fewer cops.... just what the doctor ordered.

LAST WORD: She's deeply committed to... Hillary
Broadcast TV viewers in New Hampshire should recognize Hillary Clinton's stance on gun control by now. One in four political ads she's aired in the state over the past month has been about tougher gun laws.

But in Iowa, only one in seventeen of Clinton's spots has featured her stance on gun control.
Uh-huh.
