Chicago and Detroit were easier to purchase illegal firearms, but Montreal was pretty easy in the old days too! Hang around the right docks and bars in a port long enough, and you could buy anything from a revolver to a Uzi. (and someone who would use it for you if you were so inclined) The horses have left the barn mates, no point closing the doors. Banning guns won't stop nut jobs and the illegal trade. The new Canadian gun laws actually increased the value of stolen weapons and illegal firearms. Plus most criminals can now depend on all firearms being locked up and not in use when they smash down the doors and assault grandpa. Well, maybe!!! :)
