In the context of the issue of handguns in the city of Toronto, what is the current state of the law around the issue?

In Regina v. J.G., [2005] O.J. No. 4599 (S.C.J.), my colleague, Nordheimer J., expressed similar sentiments at para. 36: The issue of guns in our community, especially the possession of guns by young men, has been at the forefront of concerns regarding issues of public safety in this city over the last number of months. Citizens in Toronto are understandably appalled at what appears to be a proliferation of handguns in the city. The alarm that naturally arises from that perception is dramatically increased by the apparent willingness of certain individuals to use those handguns, very often in indiscriminate and horrifying ways, that have resulted in dreadful consequences for entirely innocent people.
