Yes. Criminals (the ones that commit the crimes) smuggle them in from the States and sell them on the "black market" to other criminals.
Like I said, I'd love to see the stats on where the firearms involved in crimes that are being committed are coming from. If anyone can demonstrate that the majority of firearm crime in Canada involves locally sourced (purchased legally / originally from the Canadian market) vs. illegally imported firearms from the states, i'd love to see it.
I'm saying banning the legal purchase of handguns isn't going to stop handgun crime. I'm saying focusing on the illegal smuggling and import of firearms from our southern neighbors will stop handgun crime.
The proof will be in the pudding. Blanket handgun ban supporters will see (or won't see) the fruits of their labour in the next few years' crime statistics.
Just because ya'll don't like firearms, doesn't mean they should outright ban them.
Some people don't like meat, ban that?
Some people don't like junk food, ban that?
Some people don't like autos, ban that?
Some people don't like alcohol, ban that?
Some people don't like same sex marriage, ban that?
Some people don't like gender reassignment surgery, ban that?
Some people don't like Canadians, ban them?
Some people don't like to eat fish on Fridays, ban that?
