A rash of gun-toting Americans visiting Canada prompted its border agency to launch a public awareness campaign, reminding Americans about their northern neighbours’ relatively strict firearms laws. “Canadian laws are different than US ones,” the Canada Border Services Agency said in a statement on Monday. The two tourists were also fined more than 1,000 Canadian dollar (USD 775) and kicked out of Canada, along with their wives. In the first six months of on 2016, 413 guns were seized at the border – both from smugglers and gun lovers. The figure is up from 386 guns seized during the same period in 2015, according to government figures.
