Same with drugs... It's all America leaking it's trash then trump blaming others for their problems
- The border is not and never has been "open".
Yup and the weapons used by Mexican cartels mostly come from the US as well.
GTA5?
- Greater Toronto Area for those not in the know.
I'm curious: how are they ending up in Canada?
The article clearly kinda half-speculates that it's because anyone can walk to a store and buy a gun if they pass the NICS check, which is effectively true, but then.... US citizens are smuggling them? Canadian citizens are taking possession as it was a straw purchase? They're growing wings and migrating north?
