Illegal guns sourced in Canada surge compared to those smuggled from U.S

Police say legal Canadian gun owners are selling their weapons illegally

The number of guns obtained legally in Canada but are then sold to people who use them for criminal purposes has surged dramatically in recent years compared to firearms smuggled from the United States, Toronto police say.

In recent years, they say, investigators have noticed a stark shift in where guns used to commit crimes are coming from.

Before 2012, about 75 per cent of the firearms were trafficked from the United States. By 2017, however, about half originated from domestic sources, putting an end to the idea that most of Canada's illegal guns come from across the border, Det. Rob Di Danieli of the guns and gangs unit said.

Legal Canadian gun owners are selling their weapons illegally, Di Danieli said, noting that police have seen more than 40 such cases in recent years. 

The allure of a quick sell at a high profit margin is one reason legal owners might sell their guns. One man sold 47 guns and made over $100,000 in a five month period, the detective said.

"They go get their licence for the purpose of becoming a firearms trafficker," Di Danieli said. "A lot of people are so ready to blame the big bad Americans, but we had our own little problem here."

The comments come as Toronto reels from a Sunday night handgun attack on a busy east-end street that left three people, including the gunman, dead and another 13 injured. The gunman has been identified as 29-year-old Faisal Hussain.

Overall, understanding the source of guns used criminally has also taken on a new urgency in light of the city's 220 shootings this year and 27 deaths as of July 9. 

Mayor John Tory said domestic trafficking must be addressed in light of what he called the city's "gun problem."

"You've heard me ask the question of why anybody would need to buy 10 or 20 guns, which they can lawfully do under the present laws," Tory said on Monday. "Why does anyone in this city need to have a gun at all?"

"The government would know that I have two kids, two cars," Di Danieli said. "But if I bought 10 shotguns, they wouldn't know that I had 10 shotguns."

I'd question the source.  Trudeau would love another reason to go after legal guns.

Prohibited weapons are not legal to buy, sell or possess in Canada, and are smuggled from the United States.Sep 2, 2022

Not much is known about the origins of the guns associated with crime in Canada. But the police have long held that most illicit firearms are smuggled from the United States, home to more guns than any other country.May 28, 2022

While the Canadian Justice Department has acknowledged the U.S. is the largest source of illegal firearms that are smuggled north of the border, there has been limited data that tracks exactly how many guns come into Canada every year, where they come from, and what they are used for.Apr 28, 2023

The change in definition of "mass shooting" put the left in a difficult position.   It gives them far, far more shootings to use for the gun control debate but it changed who commits the vast majority and why its rare to see accurate statistics on perpetrators.  "Community" should only be attached for certain uses.

Untraceable 3D-printed 'ghost guns' on the rise in Canada

CBC found that more than 100 3D-printed firearms were seized by police in 2022

Police in Canada seized more than 100 3D-printed guns last year, with some jurisdictions seeing big increases in this type of weapon and even busting manufacturing rings for the first time. 

In Calgary, for example, police seized 17 3D-printed guns in 2022, compared to just one each in 2021 and 2020.

"I wasn't a big proponent of putting a lot of resources into 3D-printed guns here in Calgary when we first started [the unit], because we just didn't see them," said Ben Lawson, acting staff sergeant of the Calgary Police Service Firearms Investigative Unit.

"All of a sudden now, we're seeing this uptick in 2022, so who knows what 2023 is going to bring."

3D-printed guns fall into a category of homemade firearms referred to as "ghost guns," in part because they are untraceable.

They have no serial number, because the printed part of the gun is the receiver, the part of the weapon that is regulated in Canada. The other parts of the gun can be purchased at gun stores and online without a firearms licence.

Plans for producing these firearms are easily available online, and the item can be made using a consumer-grade 3D printer.

To get a sense of the scope of the problem, CBC News reached out to 20 police forces across the country and collected data from media reports in areas where police wouldn't discuss the number of firearms seized.

These guns have been found across the country, from cities such as Saskatoon and Winnipeg, to smaller places such as Stratford, Ont., and Vulcan, Alta.

"When I look at our statistics, it looks like … there's a flood of 3D guns entering into the city to make up for the gun shortage that we have in the city right now," said Insp. Elton Hall, of the Winnipeg Police Service, at a news conference in July, after his force seized three 3D-printed receivers. 

"I knew this was going to happen," he said of these guns making their way into Winnipeg, despite efforts he detailed in the news conference to combat gun violence in the city. "It was only a matter of time."

3D-printed guns found across country

In December, Winnipeg police announced they had made arrests after a "criminal network solicited and paid legitimate 3D printer services to manufacture" firearm receivers. 

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary announced the bust of a manufacturer in February. Eight 3D-printed firearm frames were seized, along with multiple printers and other items, including silencers, which police said were also 3D-printed. 

In Saskatoon, police seized two 3D printers and "a number of gun parts" in January — a first for police there.

In all, seven forces told CBC News they saw an increase in the number of 3D-printed guns from previous years. But the data provided to the CBC was incomplete. Of those seven forces, only five had specific numbers, which totalled 46 3D-printed guns seized in 2022, compared to only four in the previous years.

"Anyone can go online, they can purchase a computer, a laptop.… They can buy [a 3D printer] for $300 and now they're printing firearms," said acting Staff Sgt. Lawson, with the Calgary police. 

He said that across the country, an untraceable gun can sell for between $2,500 and $7,500, depending on the city.

The Ontario Provincial Police seized 18 such weapons in 2022, after having found only one before. 

The Toronto-area police forces CBC News reached out to had seen very few 3D-printed guns. Peel Region, for example, seized only one last year and hadn't tracked numbers before that.

York Regional Police have seized a single 3D-printed firearm. It was a "fully functioning firearm" and was used in a carjacking robbery, according to a statement from the police organization.

Untraceable ghost guns a growing threat in Canada

6 months ago

Duration9:58

A CBC News analysis uncovers a rising number of untraceable, 3D-printed ghost guns turning up in Canadian cities. Reporter Ellen Mauro sets out to uncover what the threat looks like and asks why more isn’t being done to keep them off the streets.

Even so, there are concerns in Canada's biggest city about other types of untraceable ghost guns.

"While we haven't seen a rise in 3D guns in particular in Toronto, TPS is increasingly seizing guns that are privately manufactured without serial numbers," the statement said. "These can include 3D-printed firearms, converted pellet-style guns and other homemade firearms."
