Most guns caught being brought into Canada are from vacationers, not smugglers

The Toronto Sun reports (emphasis added):

Border guns for tourists While firearms seized at border on rise, majority of guns caught from vacationers, not smugglers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cache of firearms seized by Canadian border guards swelled by 30% in 2007, but the vast majority of gun runners were unwitting American tourists, not gangsters or criminal smugglers.

Internal reports from Canada Border Services Agency's Strategic Intelligence Analysis division record 662 seizures of machine guns, rifles, antique weapons, revolvers and pistols last year -- up from 509 in 2006. About 75% of the illicit catch is handguns, which many want outlawed in Canada. . . . .

It would be helpful if the article actually said what percentage of guns being brought in were by tourists. "Vast majority" is useful, but a precise number would be better. Given the other biases in the story (e.g., "record 662 seizures of machine guns, rifles, antique weapons, revolvers and pistols last year," listing machine guns first when obviously they are extremely rare), makes me believe that if the share of tourists accidentally doing this wasn't extremely high, the share would have been listed.
