Two-thirds of the murderers had prior criminal records. Almost half, 46 per cent, of those homicides were committed during the perpetration of another criminal offence, and only 36 per cent of these homicides were committed with firearms, half of which were committed with handguns, which are already required to be registered.
Les deux tiers des meurtriers avaient des antécédents criminels et près de la moitié, 46 p. 100, des homicides avaient été commis durant la perpétration d'une autre infraction criminelle.
