It's only bizarre if we didn't believe that this behavior was indeed plausible and possible. Because there is a market for untraceable firearms, it wouldn't matter if a person owns a registered firearm or not, the salient issue is that someone who "intends" to procure a firearm and kill someone with it is a threat.
My question regarding why anyone would purchase a smuggled gun was merely a seed...
Do the dynamics that lead-up-to the desperation of choosing to use a firearm to kill somone (or many as seen in our "learning institutions) represent the root causes of criminal violence or is it just the "gun"...?
I've said this before and I'll say it again. The government of Canada is playing fast and loose with the whole issue of "gun registries" and "gun-control" not as serious strategies to ensuring that firearms are managed and owned responsbily but as panacea for a much greater and wide-spread malaise throughout "civilized" society. The message is "Look at the gun as the source and effecter in criminality and don't look any further.."
It's a sham to focus on fireams as the causal element when drugs, a corrupt business and legal system, poverty and so many other conditions obtain in a "free and democratic society"...
It's whitewash that has the ability to bamboozle the sheeple and give their thirty second attention spans something to focus on while the greater injustices and social ills wreck havoc throughout our noble enterprise.
It's simply another iteration of the shell game...
