In the US the purchaser needs to provide ID when buying a gun, and it's 
illegal to buy a gun if it's intended for another person. And it's 
illegal in both the US and Canada to smuggle them.

So it's likely most of the guns that are used in crimes in Canada were 
stolen from legal owners.

It's so easy to smuggle something small like a gun. If it's going to be 
stopped it will probably have to be by putting your gun criminals away 
for a long time.
