Homicides With Illegal Versus Legal Guns

Question

I have a student looking for ‘the number of homicides caused by illegal vs. legal guns in Canada up to 2005.’  I don’t see a product that includes this for registered or unregistered guns. Am I missing anything?

Answer

Our contacts in the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics have sent me two spreadsheets with data from the Homicide Survey that should be of interest to your student (Classification of weapon where primary cause of death was shooting; Homicides committed with firearms, Canada, Provinces/Territories).
