Toronto mayor launches petition for handgun ban [View All]

[CHIMO]

Toronto Mayor David Miller has launched an online petition calling for a countrywide ban on handguns.

Miller, who has long advocated for a total ban on handguns, said incidents of gun violence, particularly in Toronto, can't be fully addressed without a total ban.

Toronto's executive council spent Monday listening to emotional pleas from relatives and friends of people killed on city streets by handguns.

Miller is calling on all Canadians to sign the petition, which he plans to personally deliver to Parliament Hill in June.
