I feel with the current restrictions it really affects peoples culture like Hunting. Me personally I think that they should ban weapons for Criminals and people who had mental health issues as well as add a "stand your ground law" as everyone should have the right to defend their homes, families and themselves especially in high crime areas.

 @9CBTBW3from Alberta answered…10mos10MO

No, restrictions on purchasing do nothing but affect responsible gun owners, increase penalties for irresponsible use and ownership and maintain checkups on those licensed to ensure compliance.

 @8VRZQT4New Democraticfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Limiting purchasing further is not going to reduce gun violence, if guns can still be illegally brought across the border.

 @8HWB3JJfrom Saskatchewan answered…3yrs3Y

Government should provide pass nation "stand your ground"law and restrict from public use

 @9L2SXDRfrom Alberta answered…1wk1W

This should be tailored to what time of gun-related violence we see in the country, and maybe that should be by province. More individual crimes? Crack down on gun licencing checks. More organized crime? Go harder on punishment or funding special police organizations to cut off group crime lines of trade. I do not, however, think that we should scale back our current gun laws at all. They just need a tweak when and where necessary.

 @9KY8775from Alberta answered…1wk1W

No. Legal gun owners should face no penalties while we should be controlling of the flow of guns through the Canadian-American border.

 @8SCRSMGfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

No and there should be less restrictions as well as having a stand your ground law

 @8SCGLMCConservativefrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

The government will never be able to get rid of firearms from criminals. Not everyone who owns a firearm uses it for bad use.

 @8S6Q4M4from Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

No, but add a gun registry for all gun owners as well as a registry for any criminals or mentally ill patients.

 @8RGD2GLfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

Everyone has the right to defend themselves. It is whether or not they can physically or mentally defend themselves is important. We should not bring weapons of war into our daily lives.

 @8R39XHWfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

Being able to own and use a gun should be similar to the process of getting your license and being trained to drive a vehicle.

 @8R2YKWDfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

We simply don't need handguns or assault rifles. Only allow shotguns and hunting rifles for hunting.

 @8R2VTTRfrom Saskatchewan answered…3yrs3Y

The government needs to have a better system for tracking ownership and there should be penalties for violating current laws.

 @8QWBF7Kfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

Yes. background checks, psych testing, and training should be required and only certain guns should be available to the public

 @8QW8BGRfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Yes because it can be dangerous for anyone who is in possession of a gun.

 @8QT6HVPfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Only for criminals and the mentally ill. And there should be a national “stand your ground” law

 @8QS9XYDLiberalfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

guns should be hot pink with Powerpuff girl stickers to reduce sales

 @8QRRHVGfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

Use for purposes only to hunt for food otherwise keep it in the gun cabinet at all times so that they are not a harm to anyone around you.

 @8QP4D8Ffrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

No, the government should do more to stop illegal guns from coming over the border.

 @8QNNZ8Dfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Guns should be banned for everyone except polices and professionals.

 @Gabrielv2from Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

No but, people who buy firearms should have a proper license, and be walked trough gun safety course and training before being able to purchase it.

 @8QCTT5Vfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

 @8QCHD32Conservativefrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Person must be a model citizen go through a lengthy training and certification process and be limited to 4 guns. No criminal record. Satisfactory intelligence, mentally fit and other such qualifications.

 @8QC52KLCommunistfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

 @Matt117589Greenfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

Ban handguns, unless used in shooting competitions. 5 bullet magazine capacity for all firearms, and a complete ban on fully automatic weapons. Any modifications to be upheld by prison time

 @8Q85WSSfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

No, but increase punishment for gun related crimes. Stricter laws for those with prior or current convictions as well as the mentally ill. As well as "stand you ground" laws should be inacted with very tight guidelines on how and when it's appropriate.

 @8Q8473VConservativefrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Canadian gun owners are already the most vetted in the world. Our gun laws are strictly enough No, and the government should pass a national “stand your ground” law

 @8Q7NQF9from Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

No, the current system is sufficient and the government should pass a national “stand your ground” law. The gun crime should be dealt with at the border as it is near always illegally owned firearms committing crimes.

 @8Q5X7PCConservativefrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

I believe that Canadians should have the same gun rights as Americans but we should add a mental health check when applying for a license and every four years after getting a license.

 @8Q2LK8Pfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

 @8Q2HQLDfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Not at all. I believe banning guns is the stupidest thing ever and you should instead pay attention to the borders because that's where all the illegal weapons are coming in. Further more almost every single crime committed by a gun is from an illegal weapon, banning/punishing people followin the rules is twisted and the easy was out.

 @8PYQV8Kfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

No, this country already has strong gun control measures in place, and they could use some simplification.

 @8PYFGKYfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

 @8PXNJFMfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

Guns should only be available for use at designated supervised facilities such as a gun range.
