Your post does raise the question, how much does it really support the economy?
Regarding history, well, the belief that the earth being flat is part of European history till not that long ago, and is still the case with some Trump voters. Leaving things in history is fine in many cases.
It would be interesting to understand what positives would result from banning guns on all flights, period.

I dont see what a ban would accomplish other than causing a lot of inconvenience. It would also probably be illegal as far as international treaties go. I am pro gun control actually and think the current system works well and thought the long gun registry was fine (other than cost). I know owning a firearm is a privilege and not a right, just like driving.
I am not a hunter so can't really speak to what it's economic impact is. I will probably eventually get into hunting though. I've heard Americans and Europeans pay insane money to go on trips. I am generally not supportive of foreigners trophy hunting in Canada, although I'm sure it provides a big boost to some remote northern communities.
Transporting firearms by air is probably the most secure and safest way. Most people don't render their firearms inoperable in locked cases while transporting them in private vehicles. Perhaps they throw a trigger lock on them, with ammunition obviously easily accessible in the same vehicle. One thing I dislike is air canadas policy that I must put a copy of their declaration inside the rifle case. That means it has to opened in the airport with the general public around. Ive always felt a little uncomfortable doing that.
