Really pushing the disinformation and gaslighting here. Pearl clutching about your weapons designed to kill others under the guise of “hobbies”

Illegal guns are sold from legal owners to criminals. So no they’re not “well intentioned individuals”

There was also an incident where a father used his legal gun to kill his wife, father in law then himself. Wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t allowed access to guns in the first place.

“78.3% of gun-related domestic homicides in Canada were committed with firearms in the legal possession of licensed owners.”

Your source was published in 1995. A lot of regulation has changed over the last 30 years. I wonder what the numbers look like now.
