PD sites aren't always accurate when it comes to stats.
I think Manny knows what he's talking about, considering his line of work.
I guess stats Canada is lying too. I guess the whole system is lying and I should run out get my self a gun so I feel safe.
OTTAWA (CP) - Canada's murder rate was driven up last year partly by the revelation that 15 women who disappeared from the Vancouver area over several years were murdered, Statistics Canada said Thursday.
The women's bodies were found over several months on a pig farm in Port Coquitlam, B.C. The farmer, Robert Pickton is on trial for the murders.
Last year, there were 582 homicides reported nationally, 29 more than the previous year, Statistics Canada said in its annual study of crime rates.
But the overall crime rate across the country remained almost unchanged in 2002, the agency said, at 0.6 per cent lower than one year earlier.
It's common for Canadians to think their communities are more crime-ridden than they actually are, said Michael Weinrath of the University of Winnipeg.
"Simply by observing in the media ongoing reports of high-profile deaths, gives people the impression that crime is going up," said the sociology professor, who has studied how Canadians perceive crime in their communities.
One example is the jump in B.C.'s murder rate, which went from 84 deaths in 2001 to 126 in 2002, mainly because of the investigation into the missing women from Vancouver.
The Statistics Canada figures are taken from crimes reported to police, so the 15 women who disappeared over 20 years were re-classified as homicides last year when police finally investigated.
There are still at least 48 women missing from the city's seedy downtown east side, a prostitute pickup area.
Nationally, the downward trend in overall crime has continued for more than a decade. The peak was in 1991, when the number of crimes reported was 27 per cent higher than in 2002.
While rates for most crimes were unchanged or dropped in 2002, increases were reported in homicides, fraud and counterfeiting as well as drug and prostitution offences.
Police reported a total of 2.4 million Criminal Code offences, which excludes minor charges such as traffic offences.
Of the major crimes, 13 per cent were violent; 52 per cent were property crimes and 35 per cent were listed as "other" - offences such as mischief and disturbing the peace.
Rates declined for violent crime and youth crime last year while the amount of property crime was virtually unchanged and is at its lowest level in almost 30 years, Statistics Canada said.
Weinrath called the decline in youth crime a "promising trend," since it means there will be fewer youth in the criminal justice system who would likely re-offend.
The rate of drug offences is at a 20-year high, up three per cent from the previous year, the agency said. The rate of prostitution offences also increased by 12 per cent in 2002.
Although crime rates were highest in Western Canada, they increased in Atlantic provinces, even surpassing those in Quebec and Ontario. Prince Edward Island had the highest increase, reporting a 12 per cent jump in 2002.
Saskatchewan reported the highest crime rate among provinces, followed by British Columbia and Manitoba. It also had the highest violent crime rate of all provinces.
However, crime was down in most of Canada's nine largest cities in 2002, with Hamilton reporting the biggest decline at eight per cent.
Vancouver had the highest crime rate among major cities, followed by Winnipeg. The lowest rates were in Toronto and Quebec City.
Montreal reported its lowest homicide rate in 20 years, with only 66 murders in 2002.
"Canada is probably a more violent place than we think when we look at international comparisons" such as Europe, Weinrath said.
But Canadians are still much safer from lethal violence than people in the United States, he added.

Re: 2 of mine
I can give you some history on that. The chrysanthemum was the symbol of the Japanese Emporer. When the Japanese surrendered, the U.S. command knew alot of G.I.'s would bring the rifles back so they ordered the mum ground off the receivers of the captured weapons as a gesture toward the Japanese--a way of allowing them to save face in defeat. A Type 38 or a Type 99 in excellent condition with a matching bolt, and with the mum intact should bring about $400.

I want to pick up one of these
Striker 12 Revolving cylinder shotgun
A Cobray Street Sweeper would be just as nice. One of these Calico 100-round pistols would be nice too:

Re: Re: 2 of mine
thank you for putting all that into the right words. it's been a while since i read about all of it, so i kinda forgot some stuff.
the chrysanthemum on mine just has an X through it, which is far better than it being completely ground off.
when you say matching bolt, are they serialized? i havn't pulled this thing apart in 2 years so i don't remember. can't remember if it's a type 38 or 99 anymore either. oh well. i can look it all up if need be.
thanks!
