Very much not new. I was on a family vacation when I was much younger and went Canada, maybe late 1970's or early 1980's and my father had a shotgun in the trunk because we were camping. Canadian border patrol required him to surrender it, we had planned to re-enter the US at another location, but had to go back to the original location to retrieve the shotgun.
Perhaps present circumstances have aggravated things or perhaps the Canadians are just tired of obnoxious Americans. We, as a country, are not necessarily viewed positively when we go to other countries. It was like that well before Trump and will be like that long after Trump is gone. The MSM of other countries are as bad or worse than the US MSM.
On edit: I'm not sure how I would have reacted, some of the questions CBP is entitled to know and others like how many guns and what kind I have at home is none of their damn business. I also recognize that CBP may be required to ask some of those questions because of orders from above.
