Agree

No, only for criminals and the mentally ill

The Liberal Party would likely agree with the idea of restricting gun ownership for criminals and the mentally ill, as this aligns with their general support for increased gun control measures. However, they have not specifically advocated for this policy alone, as they have pursued broader gun control policies.

Neutral

Yes, but only by closing the gun show loophole

The 'gun show loophole' is a concept more relevant to the United States, where private sellers at gun shows can sell firearms without background checks. This issue is not as prevalent in Canada, where the Liberal Party has focused on broader gun control measures, such as the Firearms Act.

No, and the government should pass a national “stand your ground” law
