Ammoland critiques a CTV News article on RCMP 'crime gun' tracing data, highlighting significant methodological flaws, data gaps from Ontario and Quebec, and a broad definition of 'crime guns' that includes non-violent offenses. The analysis reveals that the RCMP reported 6,951 traces, identifying 4,197 as crime guns, with 86% of those with a known source originating in Canada.
