Police shut down alleged gun manufacturing operation in gun control-heavy Canada

A recent gun bust in Canada ought to serve as a reminder that gun control is really good at placing restrictions on the law-abiding while encouraging criminals to innovate and improvise.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reports that police in Winnipeg, Manitoba, shut down an improvised gun manufacturing operation, seizing a dozen firearms and the equipment being used to make them.

Police say they found the operation after trying to stop a man who was riding a bicycle dangerously.

The suspect tried to flee; they spotted what looked like a gun in his waistband and chased him into a house, where they arrested him, along with one woman. In addition to the homemade guns, law enforcement also seized power tools, pieces of pipe, and bullets.

Police also say they found methamphetamine at the scene and worry that the guns were being sold to drug addicts.
