Canada really zeroed in on drastically limiting the sale of ammo, as in who could buy certain types, especially the stuff used in automatic weapons, military and para-military style weapons.
You can get a hand gun license here, but you have to go through rigorous background checks, you have to have a gun safety course certificate, and there's a 28 day minimum wait period at point of sale. These kinds of guns must be registered as well, whereas hunting rifles and other long guns no longer have to be.
I like that I as a Canadian citizen still have the right to bear arms as it were, but must be competent and qualified to do so.
You can see how our gun laws evolved here:
