We already know that the great majority of them are being smuggled into the country...under 3000 firearms are stolen in Canada every year, less than half of them restricted weapons (according to Allan Rock...who doesn't tell us how many are stolen from homes and how many are stolen from gun stores, the police and the military). And this number is falling every year. This is nowhere near enough to supply the black market; we can only guess at the number of illegal guns crossing our borders...
