Fascinating country (and my favourite).
Hardly; it only gets reported about in America. Canada has nearly as many guns per capita as the US, an insane bevy of incomprehensible regulations that allow the RCMP to break into peoples homes and seize their guns, and yet the violent crime and shooing rates are roughly the same as any area in the United States with a similar ethnic makeup.
In a country of 300 million people, 4 of them get into an argument where there were at least 2 idiots, and bullets are thrown. This is "freak show of the day", not news, and certainly not a basis for pushing legislation onto everybody else.
What are the present restrictions on this fundamental right? And where do you see them falling short? Who should the new laws be applied to? And by whom?
