The Canadian Paediatric Society highlighted that there was at least one injury per day for Ontario youth by firearm—I think they used that term “firearm” very loosely—in the year that they studied. In terms of responsible gun ownership, I believe the great majority of rural Canadians practise responsible gun ownership. They take safety courses. They take hunting safety courses. We don't actually see very often an accidental injury in our emergency department. Speaking as a coroner, what I tend to see is someone who has blown their head off with a shotgun. That's what I see more often than anything else.
