^ it just doesn't really make a lot of sense how this can even happen. Pistols and many semi auto/tactical rifles are all restricted and registered. So the RCMP can literally see if someone has purchased multiple restricted firearms in a suspicious manner. They can go and verify they are being properly stored. In addition any illegally possessed firearm can be traced back to the straw purchaser who would obviously be connected to the criminals who posseses it.

So as far as I can tell the police have the ability to easily crack down on straw purchases but lack the will to do so
