Toronto Police Association President Clayton Campbell says the federal gun buyback program won’t bring down crime in Toronto since most firearm offences involve illegal firearms.

“The gun buyback program is going to have zero impact on the crime we’re seeing in the city of Toronto,” Campbell told MPs at a Sept. 25 House of Commons justice committee meeting on the bail system, sentencing, and the handling of repeat violent offenders in Canada.
