"The RCMP centre defines crime guns as firearms that were used or suspected to have been used in criminal offences, guns whose serial numbers have been obliterated or altered, firearms that were found but not reported lost or stolen, and replicas, toys, 3D-printed guns, pellet or air guns that have been used in criminal offences"

They are including things that are not guns that you can buy from Canadain Tire.

"replicas, toys, 3D Printed guns, pellet or air guns"

So when you start counting things like "toys" as a "gun" then you get a very skewed number. Also, there is not tracking means for any of the above items so to say you know where they came from is a bold faced lie.
