They idolize Scandinavian nations without realizing that Sweden has a very high gun ownership rate. There are also several left wingers who own guns because they are a part of life or their work. Many people who grew up in the country were raised around guns. Note that Canada's gun ownership rate is close to Sweden, Finland, and Switzerland's. 16% of Canadian households have a gun. Seriously what is the goal of legislation? To make a minority of people who have no idea about an issue happy or to provide real improvement to our nation? Looking at the below it looks like gun ownership has nothing to do with crime rates. Honestly it feels like moronic Canadians are using the American portrayal of gun owners to characterize Canadian gun owners despite all stats showing the opposite.
And a nice quote from wikipedia:

Honestly, why do you care so much? I'm guessing you don't have a firearm, license or regularly use them? Most countries get on just fine with stricter laws than Canada's.
For the record, I do have a PAL though don't own any weapons. I think Canada has very sensible but reasonable laws currently, but don't see that improvement is impossible.
And that graph isn't very useful, including a bunch of shithole countries. If we look at western countries, it's clear there's an outlier.
