Focus on Firearms

This brochure was developed by the Firearms Research Unit in order to serve as a quick reference guide for statistical information on firearms. Utilizing original data sources, such as Statistics Canada, this brochure outlines basic data on firearm ownership, fatal firearm injuries (including homicide, suicide and accidents) and non-fatal injuries. In addition, an accompanying time-line presents a brief history of Canadian firearms legislation.
