Try this for starters:
NZ Police
Some relevant quotes are:
* In overall terms firearms play only a small part in inter-personal violence in New Zealand, being used in about 1.7 percent of all violent crime.
* handguns are used in crime to a greater extent than their proportion of the national armoury
* Over the past 15 years firearm crime has increased at a slightly lower rate but generally in sympathy with violence overall.
* In terms of relative levels of firearm crime, our gun crime rate is much less than the United States, but comparable with those in Canada and Australia, the Canadian figures for gun homicide being somewhat higher, probably because of its relatively high handgun population.
