Reinstating TAVIS (Toronto anti-violence Intervention Strategy)
January 1st 2019.
The city of Chicago Illinois USA recently had a GUN BUY BACK PROGRAM which resulted in a considerable number of guns bought back from residents.
this could be one of the solution for the city of Toronto, ON.
I believe in the reinstatement of the TAVIS program, + fingerprinting of citizens, .
* And I believe in speaking out to the residents and asking them to turn over their guns and ammunition.
Guns and ammunition is not the way to live .
I also have suggested to install GUN DEPOSITORY SAFE BOX in apartment buildings where criminal activity is suspected so that residents who would like to drop off their guns and ammunition can do so anonymously.
*There is a link between Violence and POVERTY.

The city of Toronto has seen a rise in gun violence.
Let us take the word of a Toronto Police officer Sgt. Mark Hayward who said that TAVIS was keeping citizens with illegally acquired guns at bay and from using their guns.
I am against a ban on hand guns.
The next type of weapon already in use is the KNIFE, long knives , any type of knives, and people need to be ready and able to defend themselves.
Look at Palestinians terrorists : they use knives, long knives to kill Jewish people o their land.
There have already been assaults with knives in the city of Toronto.
Who knows, in the future, we may seek people with hand guns to defend us and protect us in times of trouble.
Similarly, in England where police officers had PORTABLE FINGERPRINTING DEVICES, when these devices were cancelled in England , crime rose to an uncomfortable level.
From my Tweets Sunday November 11th 2018
1 - Ban handgun from criminals Mister Mayor, not from legally licensed gun owners: TAVIS was cancelled and now we reap the consequences. REINSTATE TAVIS police program and let police go after those guns that are in the criminals' hands.
2 - Furthermore, I have learned that 50% of legally acquired handguns were sold to criminals. Make it an offense for a firearm owner to resell any firearm without going through POLICE (this would be a new law). Have FIREARM OWNERS' PICTURE and FINGERPRINTS TAKEN
* At this point I am asking if police officers near to have their picture taken and their fingerprints taken because they carry a hand gun.
Let it be the same for gun users and owners.
3 - Let us take the word of a Toronto Police officer Sgt. Mark Hayward who said TAVIS police program was keeping citizens with illegally acquired guns at bay and from using their guns.
In England police officers had PORTABLE FINGERPRINTING DEVICES and when these devices were cancelled, crime rose to an uncomfortable level. LET US INSTATE THE USE OF PORTABLE FINGERPRINT DEVICES to be used in conjunction of TAVIS APPROACH
4 - About HANDGUN Owners: we need responsible firearm owners: no one should have an objection of having their PICTURE and THEIR FINGERPRINTS TAKEN AND to BE TRAINED on their FIREARM.
Let us REINSTATE TAVIS with PORTABLE FINGERPRINTING DEVICES.

Written on twitter before that date.
5 - Let us install GUN and AMMUNITION DROP OFF GPS ARMED SAFES in apartment buildings near the mail boxes in areas where police suspect criminal activities.
These armed safes should be big enough to drop off any size of hang gun and firearm with a separate opening for ammunition.
I am reaching out to them.
