'Since 2021, authorities have been given data from 240,000 gun sales at commercial retailers dating back to 2019'.

I request the number of firearms used in criminal activities that have been recovered that Police have linked to a commercial sale since 2021, by month and Police district.

I request the number of licensed firearms owners charged in relation to the diversion of commercially purchased firearms, by month and Police district.

Yours faithfully,
