In Canada I believe you just get given cash but nearly all of our gun violence is done with illegally smuggled guns from the USA (maybe we need a border wall? 🙂) so it doesn’t have a huge effect on it. We generally have sane laws regarding firearms so gun violence is relatively low already though.
In 2023, half (49%) of firearm-related violent crime involved the presence of a handgun, followed by a firearm-like weapon or an unknown type of firearm (31%), a rifle or shotgun (15%) and a fully automatic or sawed-off shotgun (4.7%). In the provinces, handguns were most common in urban areas while rifles or shotguns, and firearm-like weapons or unknown types of firearms, were more common in rural areas.
