How is gun crime defined? Possessing an illegal firearm? Possessing a legal firearm without a licence or permit? Carrying a firearm in a public place? Threatening someone by firearm? Shooting someone? Having a firearm in the course of burglary? Robbery by firearm? Having an lllegal imitation firearm? Using or going equipped with an imitation firearm for an illegal purpose?
It may be that records from years ago; I'm anticipating that someone will cite some; are of no use for comparison, the law on firearms and imitation firearms being so different from the past.
