They don't have evidence to back the "domestically sourced? conclusion. |
They don’t have the evidence in a format that the globe and mail was willing to pay to get. The evidence is written down in case files. I linked the article discussing it in my original post. I don’t think I made any contention that criminals would stop getting guns from the states. Instead I stated there would be a substitution affect where some portion of Canadian sources guns would be replaced by Smuggled guns. So my original posts already addressed your concerns That you brought up.
You have not addressed suicides and you have not addressed whatever portion of guns which are sourced domestic which are used in crimes so I will restate my conclusion.
The statement that a handgun ban will have no affect is highly likely to be false.
