As a Canadian Lefitst, I just have to mention that I literally don't hear a single person other than the LPC discuss banning/restricting guns. Pretty much everyone I know owns one, likes them, or periodically goes to the range to fire a rental. It's not like the voters who identify as "Left" are actively discussing taking anyone's guns away. Everyone was in shock after the NS shootings, but everyone pretty quickly realized the guns were brought in from USA and not legally procured in Canada.
