So do you think our Canadian regulations keep thieves and robbers from carrying handguns? Would it have been better if the thieves had used an SKS or a shotgun?
Once again, do you think that our Canadian regulations would prevent someone that is going to hold up a family, and threaten to rape people, from using a handgun to commit such a crime? Would it have mattered if it was a shotgun that was shoved into his mouth?
Yet again, do you believe that people that would commit such an act would care about our Canadian firearms regulations? Would it have mattered if they had used short barreled shotguns?
You are trying to make it sound like handguns are the root of all evil, when in fact, there are far more dangerous weapons that Canadians can legally carry around.
In every case, the people in your examples broke the law, so obviously neither the laws , nor the police were enough to protect the people in your examples.

The criminals have access to those weapons. They choose handguns. Because it can be concealed. You can walk down the street and "blend in" with the crowd.
I get your point that a criminal will use all means possible to commit his crime. But lets not make it easy for them
