Would you respond with the same support if this was reversed?

To be honest, it's a silly, poorly conceived question for multiple reasons.
First, ironically, the "threat" would be laughable. For it to be a legitimate threat youd have to have the ability to actually do something about it.
Second (using your example of US guns making their way into Canada), the threat of US gun violence in Canada pales in comparison to national security concerns the US has over our lack of GAF about our own security. Of course it's horrible, it's a legitimate issue that needs to be addressed, however, as any "adult" can deduce, "one size fits all" responses to these scenarios don't fit.
So, assuming there was a comparable scenario, we had the ability to back such threats, the US wasn't acting, sure, if that's what I thought was necessary, I'd back it 100% if it meant more security for my country.
Some idiots, like Trudeau obviously don't understand anything but the stick when it comes to some things.
