Maybe it is not quantities of firearms available rather more that criminals are willing to use them. I bet if you looked into it you would find that they are being done by handguns not long guns (the preferred weapon of choice for criminals). Those handguns will be illegally sourced (either by bringing illegally into Canada from places like the USA or stolen from legitimate owners by criminals, most likely the former than the latter). Our handgun controls as a nation are actually pretty strong and about as effective as you really can get well still allowing people to legally possess their property (and I don't think banning would actually have any effect on criminals getting access to handguns).
What I personally am very supportive of is something like the death penalty for those found with illegal possession of firearms. It sends a strong message that we as a nation will not tolerate criminals willing to put the lives of our citizens at risk for whatever petty games they are playing. I know to many that is unacceptable, but I feel that is something that might actually wield results.
