Canada’s legal gun owners are again being blamed for increasing criminal violence in Canada.
A recent article in the Globe and Mail pushed claims that between one-third and one-half of “crime guns” are “domestically sourced,” citing police tracking statistics first reported by Bloomberg News. The article goes on to imply that the growth in shootings and firearms-related crime is due to the increase in legally imported firearms (particularly handguns and semi-automatic long guns) over the past two decades.
