There's was a very interesting conclusion in one of the documents I looked at on firearms and crime in Winnipeg for 1995 (http://www.doj.ca/en/ps/rs/rep/wd97-1a-e.pdf pg. 11).
"Accordingly, in 1995 the police in Winnipeg investigated approximately 1,692 firearm incidents. The file review process collected and analyzed data from 387 confirmed firearm incidents. Listed below are several report highlights. From the total number of reviewed firearm incidents (387), the police recovered/seized 442 firearms (this includes 14 firearms recovered in gun homicide incidents between 1990 and 1994). Fifty-three percent (236) of the firearms recovered/seized were non-restricted rifles and shotguns. In 1994, 46 percent of the firearm related incidents investigated by the Edmonton Police Service involved non-restricted rifles (Edmonton Police Service, 1995). Similar findings were reported by the national Smuggling Work Group report which stated that 49 percent of the firearms recovered by ten different police agencies across Canada in 1993 were non-restricted rifles and shotguns (Department of Justice Canada, 1995). In this study, three-quarters (330) of all firearms were recovered/seized in criminal 30 incidents. From the total number of firearms recovered/seized in criminal incidents, 51 percent (169) were rifles and shotguns, 12 percent (38) were handguns, 16 percent (52) were air guns, and seven percent (23) were sawed-off rifles and shotguns. Twenty-five percent (112) of all firearms were recovered/seized in non-criminal incidents. Rifles and shotguns made up 60 percent (67) of the firearms recovered in non-criminal incidents, 18 percent (20) were handguns and eight percent (9) were air guns. From the total number of handguns recovered/seized by police (58), 38 were traced on the Restricted Weapons Registration System (RWRS) of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Of the cases where there was enough information to determine the registration status, 69 percent (24) were registered and the remaining 31 percent (11) were not. The RCMP were unable to determine the registration status of three handguns due to a lack of information. >From the total number of traced handguns, 23 were involved in criminal incidents. It was determined that 74 percent (17) of these handguns were registered and that 26 percent (6) were not. This finding makes the Winnipeg study distinct from the study completed in Toronto (Department of Justice Canada, 1994) and the work conducted by the national Smuggling Work Group. The study completed in Toronto revealed that 30 percent of the handguns were registered and 70 percent were not registered on the RWRS. The national Smuggling Work Group found that 48 percent of the traceable handguns were registered and the remaining 52 percent were not registered with the RWRS. This may suggest that there is less trafficking and smuggling of handguns in Winnipeg than in the other cities reviewed. In 1995, 82 percent of the firearms recovered in attempted and completed suicides in Winnipeg were non-restricted long guns and 10 percent were handguns. These results are comparable to the findings reported in the national Firearm Smuggling Work Group report, which revealed that 80 percent of the firearms recovered in attempted and completed suicide were non-restricted rifles and shotguns. Almost 25 percent (58) of all victims either died or were injured in firearm related incidents investigated by police. In-person interviews with members of the Winnipeg Police Service provided valuable insights not attained from the file review. They suggested that the frequency with which shotguns and rifles were used in firearm incidents reflected their ease of access (or perhaps their availability). They indicated that residential break-ins, as well as theft from vehicles and wholesalers, is a major source of firearms trafficked and used in crime. " larry -- Larry C.
