Expand self defence law and allow the carrying of weapons for personal safety but ban concealed carry and introduce strict background check and psych test law.

The restrictions are perfectly fine. Something like 95+% of gun crime is committed with illegally imported firearms and the majority of the other 5% is committed with stolen firearms. Gun owners are background checked every day (veterans are checked twice a day), and lose their license if they commit a crime. Many of the recent bans on firearms were banning military-exclusive weapons from public use, which caused lots of panic when people thought regular citizens could own anti-aircraft weaponry for example.

No, the gun restrictions should be loosened greatly except for those with a criminal background or mental illnesses.

criminals do illegal things it dose not matter what restrictions you place a thief is going to steel and a murder will kill. i think people need to look at this in a different way

I have my PAL/RPAL gun license, I got it to help me peruse a career in law enforcement as I believed it would help me. I love Canada's gun laws compared to America but they could be more strict, guns should not be in the hands of civilians but only in the hands of someone with government authority like a armed guard who moves money with an armored car and Police.

 @99PWRSHLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

The process of attaining a firearm is already strong enough. there should be less restrictions on what firearms can be purchased to licensed carriers.

 @8G8TYJKLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…5yrs5Y

I think that if someone wants to get a gun, they're going to get a gun no matter what country it is so I believe any more strict laws will make it difficult for people that actually need guns to get them.

Yes, they should continue with background checks anyone with a criminal background that involved any type of weapon should have to go through psychological testing and training
