In July 2018, a gunman in Toronto’s Danforth district randomly fired his U.S.-made .40-calibre Smith & Wesson semi-automatic pistol at passersby, killing 18-year-old Reese Fallon and 10-year-old Julianna Kozis, and wounding 13 others.
The crime gun was legally purchased from a Saskatchewan retailer and was later stolen. Police chiefs responded to the Danforth tragedy by reporting that gun crimes committed with lawfully purchased imported guns were on the rise across the country. (Canada makes few guns.)
It might come as a surprise that Canada, and not a conflict region, is the biggest per capita buyer of imported U.S. guns.
OMG! There are legal gun owners in Canada and they have “Assault Pistols.”
