Strongly agree

Yes, but only by closing the gun show loophole

The NDP would likely support closing the gun show loophole as part of their broader strategy to strengthen gun control measures. While Canada's gun show regulations are already stricter than those in the United States, the NDP may still see this as a necessary step to further reduce gun violence.
