Misc American here with a few questions

I'm not trying to gloat or anything like that, just genuinely curious about Canadians and how they're feeling about guns, gun rights, and gun purchases. You guys were clearly given the shaft when it comes to guns.

Question 1: I see a lot of comments here passing up on $900 SKS's or Carmel's because they're a ripoff. Why not spend a little extra to get your hands on a semi-automatic rifle since the vast majority of them are banned? I feel like I would if I were in your shoes. 22's are just cope imo.

Question 2: how sacred are guns to the average user here?

Question 3: how is morale? Do you guys have hope for the future? If a conservative PM wins, do you think he'll unban a lot of shit?

Public aren't sure with the messages from the Government. So many news and police interviews tell us that most of the guns in crimes, especially handguns are smuggled from the USA so then why focus on those Canadians that have taken courses about fun safety and have had background checks? The focus is political in my view. Even the way true handgun ban was brought in- not passed in the House of Commons.
