This also happened in a rural area. Taking guns away from people in rural areas either puts them in danger or forces them to move. As far as I know, there isn't a country in the world (except for maybe China) that bans guns for those living in rural areas. Northern BC is one of the more dangerous areas in the world to live in, in terms of dangerous wildlife, mostly due to the massive grey wolf population.
They probably should have taken away all the handguns though.
