Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's proposed freeze on pistol sales has pushed some Canadians to rush out to gun stores while they still can
Aman Sandhu checked store after store for a handgun in Canada's British Columbia, hoping to make a purchase before a freeze on sales takes effect, but struggled to find one in stock.

When their bank accounts are frozen we will see
Very sorry to hear about Canada. Been in BC and Alberta...beautiful! Would go back in a heartbeat. We here in the U.S. feel your pain and fear we are not far behind you all. Love the two tow truck shows we get down here also. Heavy Rescue 401 and Highway thru Hell.
Smuggling is still a good occupation for the resourceful, and the Canadian border is open like a noodle sieve. John Hancock, one of our revered founders, made the smuggler a respectable vocation that paid well. Know which palms to grease and the location of the border cowbells hanging from wild raspberry canes, and you’re good to go.
Smugglers on the Canadian-American border kept us in good cheer with whisky during prohibition. Those smuggling channels are still open today.
I was under the impression all that Justin needed to do was to decree it in Canukistan.
