The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[Haggis]

Speaking of useless losers, has anyone heard anything from Cukier or the CGC? It appears from a quick perusal of the webz that they may be defunct.

Mind, I'm certainly not alarmed or concerned.

Last I heard of Cukier she was getting in a lot of trouble at Ryerson for bullying. I believe it cost her being president of the university.

Shocked, I am not.

Parliamentary Committee Notes: Firearms Statistics

Firearms in Circulation [2020]​

• ~10,040,000 total (estimated)
• 1.2 M Restricted and Prohibited, most are handguns
  • 1.0M Handguns owned by 276,000 individuals
  • Acquisition exemptions proposed for:
    • 8,000 elite level sport shooters and 6,000 ATC
• 699 businesses authorized to sell restricted firearms (HGs)

rounding 1.2M-1M leaves on the order of 200000 restricted and prohibited firearms before the recent nonsense
also 10M estimated firearms in Canada by the governments own estimates

 

[Eaglelord17]

That 10m is likely on the low side, probably based off the long gun registry and all imported after it went into effect. Before the long gun registry there was a estimated 15-20m firearms in Canada. A ton of firearms were never registered in that program so I believe that to be more accurate.
