Gun control only works when the citizens of a country decide not to commit crimes with guns....otherwise? It doesn't work at all....
I keep telling the anti-gun extremists and democrats that the crime rates in Canada and Europe are going to go up because they imported violent men into their countries...and those men will use guns to protect their illegal drug trade......and they don't give a rat's ass about Western Laws, Western police, Western culture.........
Canada is pretty proud of all the gun control they've enacted lately. Over the last handful of years, they went to a set of gun laws that weren't terribly dissimilar to ours in some ways to one of the more restrictive schemes anywhere in the world

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

In Hamilton, there have been 58 shootings as of Nov. 4, compared to 35 for all of last year — a record for the city, according to Staff Sgt. Steve Bereziuk.
He leads the Hamilton Police Service's shooting response team, one of the few police units of its kind in Canada, recently formed to address the rise in gun violence there.
"These shootings are occurring specifically at all hours of the day but what we're starting to see is a trend of daytime shootings and not just daytime shootings, but shootouts between individuals and involving more than one firearm," Bereziuk said.
He said there have been several notably disturbing incidents in the last year, including one daytime shooting in August in the city's east end where someone was used a human shield. In another incident, a man was shot after letting a six-year-old play with his gun.
"We're concerned. That is no secret. These are scary numbers," Bereziuk said.

York and Toronto are seeing similar increases.
In Toronto, there have been 126 more shootings so far this year compared to the same period last year, according to the police data portal. With a total of 395 incidents since January, it also marks the most shootings the city has seen in four years.
York is also seeing a four-year high, according to numbers provided by its police force, with 63 shootings as of the end of October this year.

This How (Un)Well Canadian Gun Control Is Working
