Number 1 Is a misnomer though. No one is asking for a gun ban. No one has ever asked for a gun ban. It's the NRA that whips up that sentiment. Canada has plenty of guns. We haven't banned all guns. So do a lot of other nations that handle them responsibly. All the GUN CONTROL side is asking for is simply that, rules which help control the sale and use of guns. And not even big rules at that. Small common sense ones.
I suppose some of the larger guns may get grandfathered out. Those may get banned. But that represents a statistically small proportion, and is probably a rule even many other gun users would have no problem with. Really, who needs assault rifles? But no person in the responsible debate about guns has asked for a gun ban. Maybe some super hippie types, but the left side or 'anti-gun' side for lack of a better term has never asked for a gun ban. That's all NRA nonsense used to whip up their supporters. 'Dere coming to take your guns! Derp!'
