What we're hearing, though, is that the number of seizures is going down. Most of the seizures are from individual Americans who think they can carry their gun into Canada and don't even know the difference or don't declare, and what we see is kind of an after-the-fact report. Sergeant Tim Shields told CTV News in Vancouver: “We know that they have been smuggled when we find them in the hands of criminals, being used in a drive-by shooting or a homicide.” So it's after the fact that we find out they're smuggled.
What steps are being taken that are new to this game? Because the number has been going down over the years. The estimate, actually, of one person in the Canada Border Services Agency is that between 1% and 3% of illegal guns are being found. What are we not doing that we should be doing to ensure that this doesn't continue?
