LAST WORD: You think tougher gun laws...

...are gonna slow these guys down?

Toronto police said Sunday that the raid was executed as part of an investigation into the murder of a 29-year-old man who was fatally shot outside a complex on Dixon Road earlier this week. 23-year-old Liban Hussein, 26-year-old Deshawn Hibbert and 30-year-old Jamal Hibbert are all facing a list of charges related to weapons, drugs and possessing the proceeds of crime over $5,000.

It's all about "friction"

You can Make a Bump Stock on a 3D Printer.

No, I can’t. I don’t own a 3D printer. Neither do most criminals. What you mean is that the few people who own 3D printers and have the skill to use them can print bump stocks.

Chances are, you’re not one of those people.

Again, laws are not designed to stop the most motivated super-criminals. They have lots of ways to get weapons.

They then forced her to walk 20 minutes to their home where they kept her for hours and repeatedly raped her.

Alternate headline: “Statistician obviously never wants a job in media again...”

"By the time we published our project, I didn’t believe in many of the interventions I’d heard politicians tout.

I was still anti-gun, at least from the point of view of most gun owners, and I don’t want a gun in my home, as I think the risk outweighs the benefits.

But I can’t endorse policies whose only selling point is that gun owners hate them."

"Actually, the CBC's total cost figure of $2 billion for the entire gun registry "file" amounts to about $685,000 per day, which means they spent the entire initially estimated budget of $2 million, again according to the CBC, every three days, for eight years straight."

Let's remember that "only 0.00555% of Canada's two million licensed gun owners used their firearm to kill someone."

Well, obviously we have to take these engines of death out of the hands of private citiz... wait a minute...

In 2015, the number of motor vehicle fatalities in Canada was 1,858, with 10,280 serious injuries.

The Somali refugee accused of stabbing an Edmonton police constable on the weekend and running down four pedestrians was ordered to be deported from the United States in 2011 by a U.S. immigration judge.

But Sharif was released on Nov. 23, 2011, on an ICE order of supervision, "due to a lack of likelihood of his removal in the reasonably foreseeable future." Sharif failed to report to the ICE enforcement and removal operations centre on his scheduled date, Jan. 24, 2012.

Sharif entered Canada in 2012. Initial information on the documents indicated he was sponsored by the federal government for one year. In 2012, immigration officials had no reason to red flag Sharif, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said.

Oh, it gets better... much better...

When Abdulahi Hasan Sharif was flagged as a potential terrorist threat two years ago, police in Alberta complained they were overwhelmed with Islamic State-inspired suspects.

A former colleague said Mr. Sharif was sympathetic to the Islamic State, prone to religious rants about "polytheists" and expressed "genocidal beliefs."

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale and the RCMP have refused to give details of the 2015 investigation.

Was there actually an investigation, and if so, why is it a big hairy ball secret?

He has no military background or anything like that. He’s a guy who lived in a house in Mesquite, drove down and gambled in Las Vegas.”

...who exactly does Canada turn away?

"The suspect, identified by multiple media outlets as Abdulahi Hasan Sharif, is originally from Somalia and has claimed refugee status in Canada, according to Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Marlin Degrand. An ISIS flag was found inside the suspect’s car."

So how did an ISIS sympathizer slip past the security apparatus? Apparently, he didn't... police have known about him for years.

"Sharif was investigated by the RCMP in 2015 after a complaint was made that he was “espousing extremist ideology.” Police found there was “insufficient evidence” to pursue terrorism charges or a peace bond."

So, here we go again... too little, too late...

"Abdulahi Hasan Sharif is expected to be charged with five counts of attempted murder. He will also be charged with terrorism-related offenses."

Feeling safer yet?

So, Justin... just spitballin' here...

...but I'm guessing this wasn't some lone-wolf Jehovah's Witness...

"The video shows a white Chevy Malibu driving directly through a road barricade at an intersection near Commonwealth, hitting a police officer who goes flying through the air before he is then attacked."

"The stabbing of a police officer and a subsequent high-speed chase where several pedestrians were run down is being investigated as an act of terrorism."

Make no mistake, this is a socio-political litmus test, if you will. How we, as a country respond to this, will determine how hard and how frequently these crazies will come back at us.
