Though issue with a lot of these guns is tons of gun owners aren't taking their weapons seriously or handling them in a safe manner. For every gun owner like yourself that locks your stuff away, that keeps the things unloaded and away from children, there are probably ten more than keep them loaded under their pillow or bed. Recipe for accidental killing right there and probably explains a good chunk of the 43x.

I can remember going house hunting out in Maple Ridge (just outside of Vancouver) about 17 years ago before our laws toughened up and of 5 houses we saw one day 3 had guns lying around, went into a bedroom of one and there was 2 shotguns and a lever action and bolt action on a rack on a table and a couple of handguns in the closet, could have just picked one up and walked away with it!
