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?
