  • I’m not sure why this is news or why this is a cause for worry. There are 750 detachments, over 20000 officers across a country the size of Canada. Its a small number of weapons, especially considering the vast majority are handguns. It’s going to happen. The way this alarmist article is talking, it sounded like hundreds or thousands of weapons are missing and continue to go missing on a weekly or monthly basis. Instead, the majority were reported in 2016 which could be due to a reporting anomaly. (ie missed from previous reports)

    Finally, there are over 20 millions guns in Canada and guns are only involved in a small percentage of violent crimes here. Vast majority are sharp objects and the fastest growing is flammable liquid attacks.
