It is about control. One thing that I kinda had to give to it (begrudingly) to the pro-gun Canadians who adopt American style talking points about government overreach in every aspect of life 'starting with gun control' (note: it was never just gun control alone or first. They always passed things concurrently. More surveillance, less privacy, less everything, and more and more control for the few over everyone else), and while I am not going to say dumb shit like we need guns to overthrow our government or intimidate people on the streets like they do in the US, but I cannot help that everything IS part of a grander scheme to make sure that have neither the means nor the willingness to do anything. Basically destroying our ability to organize and communicate and getting rid of any potential leaders well before hand.
