In Canada, the “law” doesn’t always “protect” people. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Canada has a provision which allows the governments of Canada to violate them if a “need” is proven to benefit society.

And in addition, there is no protection of private ownership of guns in the Canada constitution.

You are correct.

But Canada’s jurisprudence also has well settled law against retroactive legislation in relation to both real and personal property.So the right of legal ownership of now prohibited firearms cannot be accomplished without the consent of the present owners. Current and future acquisitions can be affected by the ban, but no Canadian government will long survive its evolution towards a totalitarian state control of firearms that have no causal connection to public safety in the hands of law abiding citizens.

Additionally, what happened in new Zealand will also likely happen in Canada. The Liberals in Canada just do not have enough popular support to pull of a legislative move towards being a totalitarian state.
