Toronto police have arrested a 29-year-old man from Brampton and charged him with second degree murder related to a fatal shooting in Scarborough.

"You can't print counterfeit money. We don't let you do that, so why would we let you print lethal guns?"

Officers responding to the scene found a 20-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the head and an 18-year-old woman with gunshot wounds to the head and chest.

In the United States, the right to bear arms is an important aspect of law and culture, yet many people are surprised by just how powerful certain legal-to-own weapons can be. Beyond standard guns, a range of weapons often associated with military or high-risk use are lawful under federal or state regulations, provided specific conditions are met. The legality of these highly dangerous weapons is due to a mix of constitutional rights, public safety concerns, and decades of changing legislation.
