Canadian police services reported 8,105 victims of violent gun crime, ranging from assault to robbery and homicide in 2006

Now you'll be needing some points of comparison. I'll be looking forward.

Handguns accounted for about two-thirds of all violent gun crime in 2006, with police services reporting 8,100 victims of such crime, the agency said in its report released Wednesday.

Firearms account for 2.4 per cent of all victims of violence, it said.
