Public Safety Minister Bill Blair: Winnipeg Police Arrest Drug Dealer Violating Firearms Prohibition Order

Drug dealers love their illegal guns. That's the theme I see repeated every week as I track how many criminals are re-arrested for violating the Firearm Prohibition Orders against them because of a previous run-in with the law.
