It related to gun control. If Canadian criminals are getting their guns from legal Canadian sources, that indicates that our gun control laws are insufficient. If they’re getting them from external sources — primarily smuggling from the United States, which is awash in guns — then it’s not a gun control problem, and changing our gun control laws won’t help. Most guns used in crimes have their serial numbers destroyed and cannot be traced. This isn’t about gun control.
