    Also if you want quote those people here is another one like them from a few years ago.

    https://crimecanada.ca/rcmp-report-most-crime-guns-domestically-sourced-in-canada/

    This article is flawed as fuck, but apparently handguns still make up 9+% of domestic crime handguns despite sales having been halted fully since November 2022. Before the most I could find was roughly 15%. Which was in the same ballpark it has been for decades. Straw purchases for Canadian handguns have been impossible for a long time and with people unable to buy new ones unless those straw purchases were the only ones buying your assumption is impossible.

    And again, that specific article I mentioned is bullshit. It purposely excluded Ontario and Québec.
