Thank you for providing this information. Your previous link really didn't paint the image I think you wanted to.

I think a lot of the disconnect woth people is that a lot of Canadians are faced with what they perceive as a lot more grave issues endangering peoples lives. And it differs between provinces and even as your links state municipal vs rural areas.

I think because we don't have the constant threat of mass shootings the likes of the USA, those in areas less impacted by fire arm deaths are more apathetic. Or maybe just view it as we've done enough.

Obviously governments should have the capacity to deal with multiple issues at once, but I think people really get caught up in the "why are you worrying about this, when X thing is way more dangerous.". It might come off as whataboutism, and often times it can be, but I think k its just as easy to say that person hasn't been as broadly effected by guns and someone else.
