Interesting Statistics

Although these statistics were provided by Fox news and are relevant to Canadian crime statistics I thought it was very interesting. I'm sure the US statistics are similar.

Of all homicide cases in Canada from 2003-2009:

4257 Total Homicides
1314 Committed with a Firearm
438 Weapon was found/left at scene
110 Registered firearms

AND

Only 55 of those REGISTERED firearms LEFT AT THE SCENE were used by the registered owner.

Conclusion: Of all the 4237 homicides in Canada over a span of 6 years only 55 of them were determined to have been used by the registered owner.

Canada does have a lot less guns than the USA so idk how it will compare also canada has pretty damn strict gun laws

Canada better start work on banning whatever was used in the 69% of those 4257 homicides that didn't use a firearm!

HAHA very true. I know it doesn't apply to the US and gun laws are different but I just thought it was interesting.

I'd REALLY like to see a statistic like this based upon US homicides.
