It already has. In many places in the US it easier, faster, and cheaper to purchase a firearm by illegal means than it is to go to a gun store.
Oddly enough, these places are usually where there are the most strict gun control laws (Chicago comes to mind. I don't live there anymore, but IIRC handguns are banned in Cook County).
"I live up in Canada, and in my province, if you wanted any kind of gun outside those useful for hunting, you'd either have to steal from the police/military or go out of province."
Do you really believe that there is no black market in your Province?
"The biggest failing that I can see is any culture that allows sales of the weapons that can do this sort of thing."
As others have pointed out, Norway has very strict gun control. Not sure what "culture" you speak of, 'cause it's not Norway's "culture" to blame here (at least not as it relates to gun control).
"I know you have an axe to grind with any efforts to stop your unlimited, unedited, and undiluted freedom, but perhaps you should wait until after the funerals to start the sermons?"
Thinly veiled Ad Hominem attack. Perfect way to conclude your amazing argument (in your own little mind, I'm sure).

Funny how you do exactly what you accuse Mike of in the same sentence. See rhetoric (specifically: pathos). Pot, meet kettle.
