A months-long investigation into an alleged criminal enterprise has led to the arrest of six people and the seizure of 62 firearms that police say were “destined” for Toronto streets.
The investigation, dubbed ‘Project Barbell,’ began in the fall of 2021 after members of the Toronto Police Service’s Integrated Gun and Gang Task Force became aware of two individuals that were suspected of trafficking firearms within the city.

Sounds like a skill issue
None of those guns look like the legal hunting rifles they keep trying to ban.
@skate metal yes by changing all of the internal parts. It was designed for coyotes so it is a hunting rifle. Learn before you speak.
@skate metal AR isn’t fully automatic. It stands for Armalite , not Assault Rifle.
@Wallace,William you can make it fully auto very easily. Also an AR is not a hunting rifle
@Wallace,William pistol are even more cheaply made fully auto. Have you heard of a switch. It turns basically any had gun into a fully automatic for under 100$
@skate metal Never said it was .
yet trudeau is attacking hunters
@roof pizza bot
@roof pizza Hey Adolf, they have assisted suicide now?
@roof pizza shootings happen in community housing developments. Let’s ban them.
Lotta liberal paid trolls
@Rick Astley’s Revenge Did you copy and paste that?
All those firearms are being displayed illegally. They need secure firearm locking devices and they need to be secured to an immovable object. Why are legal firearms owners the only ones who have to follow firearms laws in Canada?
@skate metal not a special as you bot
@Rick Astley’s Revenge who are you was I talking to you Karen
@skate metal behold my field of f*cks…and see that it is bare!!
Think!
@skate metal wow nice english bud
No way this is possible. There is a Handgun freeze on right now. No way they could’ve brought them into the country 😅
It’s as if the criminals don’t care to follow the laws.
Shocking isn’t it Eh!
No worries our court service will have these men back on the streets tomorrow
Can anyone point out the firearms used for deer 🦌 and duck 🦆hunting 🤔 oh wait a minute that’s right hunters don’t use those firearms and actually turns out these firearms are illegal from the USA wow go figure eh?
And yet all of those was smuggled in….cause they weren’t bought on canada.
awh, not so scary without your guns Punjabis and Saracens?
Wait, you’re telling me banning firearms didn’t stop criminals from getting their hands on them? No way, who woulda thunk
They probably purchased these and claimed they were intercepted.
Almost as convenient as Coutts.
Curious if any of these came from a legal one, probably not 🙂
why won’t these criminals follow the law
94% of them illegally imported by a guy named Muhammod.
Are these guns from Trudeaus bodyguards?
Almost all pistols.. after a pistol ban.. it’s almost like criminals will still get their hands on firearms if they want to or something.. shocker
Hey Trudeau….are these the legal guns you are worried about.
There should be a minimum of 10 years in prison for possessing an illegal firearm.
Why should any guns be illegal? Guns don’t commit crimes.
They got em from a guy with a swaztika and confederate flag ….😉
