Cop at around 2:30 of the video talks about "straw purhcases", where people who have gone through the system to be eligible to buy guns are passing them on to people who are not eligible.

Those are already illegal as fuck.

Edit: he was also talking about straw purchases in the US. Not Canada. You are implying that Canadians are straw purchasing for unqualified Canadians. This a lot harder than you think to do without being crushed immediately over here for non-restricted firearms and is impossible to do with restricted.
