  11. @metanomena  Homicide In 2020, police reported a total of 743 homicide victims in Canada. For 277 of these victims, a firearm was used to commit the homicide, StatsCan reports. Curiously, in Firearm Trends Statistics Canada makes no mention that licenced firearms owners (PAL holders) are rarely involved in firearms homicide. According to my Special Request to Statistics Canada, almost all firearm homicides are committed with illegal weapons. In 2020, PAL holders constituted just 1.4% of all homicide accused, or 3.2% of firearm homicides. Moose are more dangerous than PAL holders. Statistics Canada reports that the proportion of homicides that involved a firearm rose from 26% of all homicides in 2013 to 37% in 2020. Again, very few of these involved a PAL holder, although Statistics Canada ignores this. StatsCan treats PAL holders as criminals. The upsurge in firearm homicides was driven by criminals, not PAL holders. The share involving PAL holders decreased, from 6% of those accused of firearm homicides in 2013 to just 3% in 2020, based on my Special Request to Statistics Canada. Handgun homicides Statistics Canada reports: Handguns were the most serious weapon present in the majority of firearm-related violent crimes between 2009 and 2020 (59%). Trudeau cited this statistic to justify ‘freezing’ lawfully owned firearms, even though almost all handgun homicides are committed with illegal weapons. StatsCan treats PAL holders as criminals. In Firearm Trends, StatsCan does not mention that very few PAL holders have been accused of homicide with a handgun. Between 2010 and 2020, 7% of handgun homicides involved a PAL holder. The fraction, already small, fell from 10% in 2013 to just 3% in 2020, according to Table 4 in StatsCan’s presentation to SECU. Note that Table 4 is based on homicide victims, unlike my Special Request, which is based on the homicide accused.
