Agreed. This one could just be an overzealous hobbyist who holds lots of contempt for Canada's firearms legislation. The potential exists he may never have done harm with these firearms were it not for his being caught at the border. Admittedly the potential also exists he could have been doing some illegal arms trafficking. What disturbs me; is that if this guy is the former and aside from the possession and smuggling hasn't committed any other crimes or victimized people; he'll likely get a harsher sentence than someone who's been peddling meth to kids or a drunk driver who killed someone.
