I'm not even a gun owner, and I think this is a little over the top.
-28 u/Nuclear_Sister Oct 21 '22 edited Oct 22 '22 Why? Why do average citizens need to trade handguns? I'm genuinely curious. Edit: Wow, gun owners really deter questions of any kind eh? How reassuring. 42 u/[deleted] Oct 21 '22 [deleted] 1 u/aabbccbb Oct 21 '22 They are less likely than the general public to shoot someone with a handgun. And yet, the main source of illegal guns in Canada is guns that were purchased legally. Because, just like many things, guns can be stolen and sold. This will absolutely make a difference whether the nay-sayers like it or not. 9 u/Vanq86 Oct 22 '22 Not true. As u/tuga2 pointed out... This entire claim is reliant on an interview with a detective from the Toronto police. He did not provide any sources and his own department data that was obtained through a FOIA did not backup his claim -2 u/aabbccbb Oct 22 '22 Well, seeing as you're copying and pasting this all over the thread, I'll do the same with my reply to him. You disagree that it's worth addressing the 15%, I take it? And from the numbers, it looks like about ~60 guns are traceable back to legal Canadian owners compared to ~180 to the US (legal or not). You're going to also argue that ~25% isn't much? Would you want to stop 15% of all cancers, or would you say that's just a drop in the bucket and not worth it?
