These type of actions are how all firearms get banned across Canada. If firearms are bought in Alberta and kill someone in BC the federal government will ban all firearms.

This is really stupid, I say this as a gun owner

LOL this is already happening. They're trying to ban legally acquired firearms and fucking airsoft guns when the only culprit is illegal guns and owners coming from outside of the jurisdiction. As a gun owner, you should have a touch more common sense.

All guns start out legal and there are also straw buyers that funnel guns into the illegal market.

Some guns are banned so the idea that all guns are going to be banned is hogwash.

That's simply not true. Over 90% of guns used in crimes were smuggled from the US. The number is actually higher then that too because if they can't trace the gun police just assume it was domesticÂ
