Changing Canada’s gun laws is not a trade deal, it is a legislative function.
I suppose Trump could ask Trudeau to push an initiative through Canada’s Parliament, but given their current atmosphere of wanting to enact even stricter gun control laws, I wouldn’t hold much hope.
The old system of declaring firearms at the border and again when leaving Canada seemed to work just fine, and there are a lot of people who move to and from Alaska every year that would like to move their household goods through Canada.
I’m not sure why Canada felt the need to change that law in 2001.

Wrong!
It is exactly a trade deal! (accomplished in the exact same fashion)

You know better.
The border controls were not changed for any legitimate purpose.
It was to punish gun owners and show how much the Leftists in Canada hate guns.
This was all about virtue signaling.
If you are a Leftist, punishing people you disagree with is a legitimate purpose.
