Gun ownership has never been a right in Canada, but a privilege. Handguns have to be registered since 1934. Since 1979, anyone wanting to purchase a firearm has to file in a request first.
And for the "wolfram" bozo below: it is NOT useless, since anyone in possession of a firearm would have to show that it is legitimate ownership. Being in possession of an unregistered firearm is, in itself, a prosecutable crime.

No such rights exist. It is strongly regulated priviledge

Hunting rifles and shotguns are neither restricted nor prohibited, but it is illegal to possess them without a firearms acquisitions certificate. People who have committed certain serious crimes are not eligible for an acquisition certificate to possess any firearm.

yes, you can buy and a gun in Cantada, but it must be registered with the government, a COMPLETELY USELESS step, since most guns used in crime are unregistered anyway, and can only be "singe action"

You can still buy a gun, it has to be registered with the government. Firearms are federally regulated in Canada. The federal 1977 Criminal Law Amendment Act, as amended, prohibits automatic weapons and sawed-off shotguns and rifles.
