Original Note:
The OP conflates the rise in the purchase of regulated, registered, and controlled handguns by trained and licenced users with illegally smuggled guns used for violent crimes. In 2020, PAL holders constituted just 1.4% of all homicide accused, or 3.2% of firearm homicides. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/85-002-x/2022001/article/00009-eng.htm
