There is no such thing as "gun rights" in Canada. You may earn the privilege of gun ownership if you complete the training, pass the exam, and follow the rules.

EDIT: You hurt my feefees downvotes? Post the section of the Constitution or the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that gives you gun rights. Quote a court case that confirms that you have gun rights. You can't because you don't.

"As a result, the ruling that there is no Canadian right to bear arms is settled constitutional law for the foreseeable future. The Supreme Court said in 1993 that 'Canadians, unlike Americans do not have a constitutional right to bear arms.' ”
