"What evidence do you have that they are illegal guns?"

She should never hold a job in serious journalism ever again. If she doesn't know how the police can identify whether a gun is legally and lawfully owned or outright illegally smuggled into Canada she doesn't need to be asking questions about firearms.

Forget how the cops can actually trace guns. Try a little common sense.

Like if I’m a criminal and want to use a gun while committing a violent offence, am I really going to go through the hassle of the safety course, background check, wait for my license, and then get a legal gun?

Or perhaps if I am ok with breaking several laws and using a gun while committing said crimes, I’m also perfectly fine with obtaining a gun unlawfully also.

Which scenario is more likely?🤔
