"Police said they’ve seized 14 handguns, six long guns including a machine-gun and an assault rifle, grenades, silencers, a stun gun and body armour. The guns were manufactured in Ontario using existing parts and then sold to southern Ontario criminals, police said."14 hand guns is hardly an armory. In fact, it's less than the French police find at most mosques.
"The guns were sold for an average of $2,500 each to various criminal groups throughout the province"What sort of idiot criminal spends 2,500 on a gun, when they can obtain a perfectly functional black market handgun for 700? It's not like they can shoot decently.
An odd statement, though:
"The guns were manufactured in Ontario using existing parts"If they were merely assembled from existing parts, then they were not 'manufactured in Ontario'.
Assembly and manufacture are not the same thing. In this case, under Canadian law the key components of a handgun are probably regulated heavily. Meaning that they managed to get their hands on components from somewhere.
I'd be tracking down the method by which they managed to obtain the parts. If it is that easy to get parts, almost any idiot can follow a YouTube video showing how to assemble a full gun.
