I didn’t live through the LGR. What was the overall mindset of Canadian gun owners back then compared to now? More or less nihilism?

Well, buying and selling was a huge pain in the ass so we didn't do it as often.

If you wanted to sell someone a gun, you'd need to

  • Call in, wait 30-45 mins on hold (hopefully you'd get through). Give them all your info and the info of the person who wants to buy the gun. They give you a reference number.
  • You give the reference number to the dude who wants to buy the gun.
  • That dude calls in, waits his 30-45 mins on hold, then gives reference number and confirms.

It was torture, so much wasted time.
