That was my point.

I don't know about Canada, but in England and Australia they got rid of
handguns and surprisingly enough crimes committed with guns went down
(but not to zero) and other crimes went way up to fill the vacuum.
Overall, crime went up as criminals didn't have to worry about their
victims possibly being able to fight back.
