Laws influence culture. This particular law may have little to no direct impact on gun crime but it, and similar laws, creates the cultural barriers that prevent the Canadian gun culture from slipping closer to that of US. Part of the reason our gun culture in Canada is different from the US is because of our laws, not despite them, even the silly ones.

There’s no second amendment in Canada, no right to bear arms. It’s not about culture or anything abstract. It’s a simple matter of law, our constitutions are different. There is simply no comparison between acquiring a gun in the US or Canada. It takes three days to get a gun in the US, 3 months or more to get a PAL in Canada.
