So they straight up murdered Kotanko for suspected handgun trafficking, and give house arrest for a convicted handgun trafficker.

How does any of this make sense?

I don't think he trafficked jack shit; I think that was a setup or cover up for someone else's crime. If you look at the details it stinks. Allegedly, Kotanko tried to file off serial numbers that trace back to him. Anyone who knows anything about firearms knows that the authorities can still extract traces of the serial number if not the whole serial number, after filing: Kotanko certainly would have known this.

I think it's highly likely that he sold the guns legally, to someone ELSE who allowed them to get into the wrong hands.

That someone else was probably the kid of a politician or a police officer.

It was a set up. I really hope we find out what really happened one day, Canadians deserve to know the truth.

100% the way the Kotanko killing played out stinks to hell. There's just too much that doesn't make sense.
