You should go and convince a rancher to belly crawl through the long grass with a spear to take care of whatever apex predator is taking down their livestock.
Point being some people do have a reason to own a gun. And, in my opinion, being a hunter is a reason. Hunting is a sport, a way of life, even an income for many Canadians. The government must know that and they should respect it. Sneaking in shot guns and long rifles into C21 wasn't a bright move and I strongly doubt represents the will of the people.
I'm not a hunter nor do I own a gun, but certainly respect those who do and do it legally and safely. Which is probably 99% of them.
