What are they thinking? Go after the gun smugglers, instead of the duck hunters?

Guess they got the clue-by-four we sent them.

Oh, good. We have a list of Canadians whom we'd like to prosecute for violating our laws on smuggling marijuana and etc. and with the precedent of this extradition we'll expect to see Canada deliver up those criminals just the same as Canada expects us to hand over this fellow.

Your country also threatened Canadians who traded with Cuba, so all's fair I guess.

You think that's not already been done?

Good job. It's about time they targetted illegal gun owners.

While smuggling fireams into Canada might not be illegal in the US, I'm sure BATF could find something to charge the guy with, and any punishment on their side is going to be far worst than what we come up with.

We've already delivered at least on very high profile one.

Now return the favour.

Hey Bart, we almost gave you Marc Emery, who hasn't even been to America before, so shut the fuck up.

Actually it is a crime. You require an export permit to take any class of firearm out of the US. Not having one is in violation of US law.

So, he is screwed on both sides of the boarder.
