Illegal/Stolen handguns are the problem. There are DIY and autos that pop up rarely, but that's usually found in a raid.
Knives are just as bad here.

It's not law abiding citizens with shotguns and rifles. Handguns are difficult to get and have very strict transportation rules for those with a restricted license. Home - range - home.
