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.

I think guns should be harder to buy in some ways such as stronger background checks, but anyone should have the right to own a gun if they have a strong background check!

Every person should be able to privately own any firearm of any kind for their own protection and recreation. The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good duy with a gun.

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

If I want to buy a glock I should damn well be able to buy a glock ***** so no there shouldnt be any restrictions.

 @9CBTBW3from Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

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.

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