Liberal ministers persist in the myth that there are 1,200 break-ins every year in Canada to steal firearms, even though StatsCan’s database shows just five “robberies to steal firearms” in 2013, 16 in 2014, 12 in 2015 and 18 each in of 2016 and 2017.1,200 break-ins, my arse.
Firearms researcher Dennis Young, himself an ex-Mountie, has filed numerous access-to-info requests with the federal government.
Young has managed to pry out the fact that neither the RCMP nor StatsCan have ever compiled statistics on the sources of crime guns.
So, if it isn't farmers, hunters and skeet shooters and legal, registered firearms... who exactly is doing all the killing?
Wait...What shiny new gun laws are going to deter these predators?
