FACTS YOUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW

If only one life will be saved, the cost of registration will be worth it.

On Aug 23, 1994 Statistics Canada released Crime and Homicide
Statistics for 1993.

The number of homicides fell from 732 in 1992 to 630 in 1993. 193 or
30% of these were shootings, down from 31% in 1992, and 36% in 1991.

90 shootings were with handguns
103 shootings were with other firearms

Now if we assume that firearms registration will cut the number of
shootings by 50%, the number of homicides homicides with newly
registered firearms will fall from 103 to 52.

If there are 7 million firearms in Canada, the number of registered
firearms per homicide will then be 7,000,000/50 or 140,000 firearms per
homicide.

Assume the cost of registering a firearm is $100.00 (Justice TR1994-9e)

If there are 7 million firearms in Canada, the cost of firearms
registration will be 14 million dollars per life saved.

If there are 21 million firearms in Canada the cost of firearms
registration will be 42 million dollars per life saved.
