Police Dismantle International Gun Parts Trafficking Operation

(Member of Canadian Forces Charged; Weapons, Design Drawings Seized)
ORILLIA, ON, April 23, 2013 /CNW/ - A Québec resident has been charged with more than 30 illegal weapons production and trafficking offences following a lengthy, complex joint forces investigation by police in Ontario, Québec and the United States.

During an online investigation into the sale, distribution, and export of various firearms-enhancing parts, the United States Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) requested assistance from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) -led Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit (PWEU) to identify and investigate transactions and shipments of several parts and enhancements for prohibited weapons, including conversion devices and silencers.

The enhancements, among other things, would have allowed end users to use a selector switch to convert semi-automatic firearms to fully-automatic firearms. Other enhancements would allow the end user to augment the firearms with an over-capacity ammunition magazine. Also discovered are illegally-produced assault rifle lower receivers with no serial numbers as well as illegally-produced handguns.

Which leads me to make 2 statements...

1) Only the military and the police should have gu... Oh crap
2) Banning guns will prevent the already criminal element from hav.... Oh another crap

Go ahead finish your statement as it was correct. Chances are if he was some run of the mill so called “law abiding” gunhugger with no oversight they wouldn’t have caught him. See above and add the end users for these weapons were in all probability some so called “law abiding” ain’t gonna get my gun except from my cold dead hands.

I guess there weren't enough threads around with some vague connection to guns for you to troll, so may as well start your own, eh?

I heard someone was caught speeding the other day, so let's forget about speed limits, they're useless.

I heard someone was caught the other day driving while their license was suspended, so I guess it's time we smartened up and stopped trying to license drivers, because it's useless.

And there was a truck on the 401 found in a dangerous condition, so let's forget about vehicle safety and, for that matter, vehicle licensing.

Anyone who wants to drive should do so, and they can drive whatever the hell they want, no license required for anything. At any speed they want. And best of all, they should be able to shoot their automatic assault rifles out the window as they go. Why didn't we realize this before? Because you never told us. Now we know.

Way to draw out all the frothing anti-gun nuts.My favorite scenario is when a security guard, a person whose job requires a gun, shoots innocent people. Don't forget them.
