...guns are still easy targets and our government wants votes from large ill informed populations of voters. As a group gunowners in canada may be a force, but with voting boundaries and the way we/they are spread out we can't elect enough lawmakers , favorable to the gun owner, to really fight to represent us fairly. That means intense lobby groups and litagation.
As a Q.E.D I just took my gun course today and one example they gave us of government and easy targets is... about 480 Albertans are killed on the roads annually...while about the same number commit suicide. The government is spending billions on roads but a person who is suicidal here is pretty much out of luck. But there are a lot more voters driving cars than attempting suicide I guess. This was tied in to how guns are bad, incidentally, and how not having them saves lives
