Canada

I don't know the exact number and if there was a poll I wouldn't imagine it would be very accurate anyway. We are both sharing anecdotes and having a discussion, is that not allowed?

I know gun owning families (avid hunters) who had no problem voting for a Liberal PM

I wish I knew more of them, and like I said, I was only slightly reluctantly one of them. I'm not trying to say they don't exist, I'm just saying I think there's a lot of votes they're throwing away on a relatively pointless anti-gun platform (which honestly I don't think is even as bad as they made it sound like it was). It's a matter of messaging, and even how it was phrased. Things like "I'm going to reinvigorate the federal gun buyback" sounds unnecessarily intimidating to gun owners. It plays directly into their fears of "the government will ban my guns" and drives them away from voting Liberal. I know it does, I saw it happen. What does such a policy actually accomplish, and why did they try to turn it into an election issue that felt like it could only hurt them? Who was cheering for this? If they wanted to appear "tough on crime" (again: legal gun owners are not criminals) there's a dozen other ways they could've demonstrated that just as effectively if not more effectively.
