I think there is a whole hell lot of law abiding people that shouldn't be allowed near a gun.

I don't interpret the question that way, but I can see how you might.
I don't think it's unreasonable to have laws around gun ownership eligibility, gun use, storage requirements, etc. I think owners should be licenced, there should be an ownership registry, there should be mandatory training, and mental health and criminal background checks.
Within the confines of such a system, I don't believe any law-abiding Albertan (/Canadian) shouldn't be able to own a firearm. As it sits I don't have a lot of problems with the system we already have, except the federal government's recent changes which I think are... capricious and dumb.
