Going through StatsCan I "stumbled" across this. Oh who am I kidding, I intentionally looked it up.
These are the numbers of fatal stabbings and shootings from 2000-2017.
Shootings: 183, 172, 152, 163, 173, 224, 192, 188, 201, 182, 175, 159, 171, 134, 155, 179, 223, 266
Stabbings: 150, 171, 182, 142, 205, 198, 210, 189, 202, 210, 165, 207, 164, 195, 189, 216, 175, 201.
So, 10 out of 17 years there were more fatal stabbings than shootings. A total of 3292 people were intentionally shot to death over that period. While a total of 3371 people were fatally stabbed. If you remove gang related shootings in any given year, the death toll by firearm would be around half what it is.
So the question is, how are guns the problem? Bladed weapons were used to kill 79 more people from 2000-2017 than firearms.
Oh hey, do you notice something interesting in the stat trend? After the LGR was scrapped, the number of homicides by firearm started going down. That is until Groper was elected. So again, what's the desperate need for ever more gun control? Are you so scared of people utterly rejecting your idiot philosophy that you'll make them accept it, by force if necessary? Commies didn't like a population that could defend itself. The nazis didn't like a population that could defend itself either. So, which one are you guys? Or maybe you're into a different form of authoritarianism. Because clearly guns are NOT the big societal problem you guys make them out to be.
By the way, if you doubt the Stats, here's the link. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/cv.action?pid=3510006901#timeframe
