NUMBER OF VIOLENT CRIMES INVOLVING GUNS EXAGGERATED BY AN OVER-INCLUSIVE DEFINITION OF GUN CRIME
BY GARY-MAUSER – CANADA FREE PRESS – FEBRUARY 23, 2015
EXCERPTS
Statistics Canada reports that there were 5,027 “firearms-related” incidents out of 263,054 violent crimes (i.e., 2% of violent crimes).
Statistics Canada defines “firearms-related” crime” as when “a gun is present during the commission of the crime.” Just “present,” not “used.”
Gun violence only occurred in one-quarter of “firearms-related” crimes and in just 0.5% of violent crimes.
