A series of prosecutions and arrests in the United States tracked by National Post, including new indictments against 10 people this week, reveal detailed allegations of how U.S. guns were illegally making their way onto Canada’s blackmarket.
Authorities in Ohio say the gun smuggling was up and running at least by July 2018.
The group bought guns in the United States by both legal and illegal means, including through straw purchases (like at the gun show), when someone is paid to buy guns in their name but then hands them over to someone else.
They stockpiled the guns and then smuggled them in bulk into Canada, recruiting female drivers, enticing them with a free trip to Canada and drugs and alcohol.
