This has a lot of good context, but one thing it misses is the cultural impact of being a country next to the US. The deadliest shooting in Canadian history occurred in Nova Scotia in 2020. The guns he used were not legal for him to possess, and crucially all but one of the guns he used in his rampage was acquired from America ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Nova_Scotia_attacks#Acquisition_of_firearms_and_ammunition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Nova_Scotia_attacks#Acqui... ) Here is another from the conservative newspaper The National Post (aka I am not sourcing from a place likely to be incredibly biased against guns) reporting on the police chief of Toronto stating that a large majority of the guns used in violent crime in the city are illegally imported from US: https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/guns-used-in-crimes-are-coming-from-u-s-not-legal-gun-owners-police-chiefs https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/guns-used-in-crimes-a... We have other people in this thread using the example of Australia and asking what the difference is and I would state that a large portion of it is simply that Australia is surrounded by an ocean and Canada is right next to the US. As long as we have that anchor dragging us down its always going to be difficult to make major progress on gun crime.
