"The downward trend stopped in 2013 and, since then, it has gone up 42%. Between 2013 and 2017, 16 of Canada's Census metropolitan areas saw increases in their rate of firearm-related violent crime, including 7 of the 10 largest. ... Each year since 2009, about six in ten firearm-related violent crimes involved handguns."

Trend maybe up- but Canada still as approximately 1/6 of firearm related deaths per capita as US. I know very few people who own guns, and those who do, have shotguns and rifles for hunting only- not for personal protection. The bad guys will always have guns, but they are still few and far enough between that the good guys don't need to carry.
