US Gun Smuggling Fuels Canadian Deaths: Trump’s Blame Game Backfires
A significant portion of gun violence in Canada stems from firearms smuggled from the United States, with approximately 90% of guns used in Toronto shootings originating south of the border. This illegal flow of weapons, facilitated by the ease of firearm acquisition in the U.S., contributes to escalating gun violence and numerous Canadian deaths. While Canada addresses this issue, the comparatively lax gun laws in the U.S. and the substantial profits from smuggling create an ongoing challenge. Increased penalties for gun smuggling and improved collaboration between Canadian and U.S. law enforcement are needed to combat this problem effectively.
