Assuming it's true that gun control doesn't work (a position I'm shifting towards) then it's (obviously) true that gun control doesn't fit the libertarian's view at all. That said, I think it would still be less offensive to the libertarian than imposing conservative values as at least the intent behind gun control is public safety.

Not sure how I would look at them now with the two latest leaders they have had.

Dion moved the party away from fiscal responsibility. He turned out to be a left wing nut and that's why he's not the party leader anymore. It's hard to say where exactly where Ignatieff would fit in.
