Yes, id love more restrictions on weapons. What exactly do you want?
From what I gather, you think any and all ideas are bad, and that nothing anyone does or says will have any effect, and that you still have your shotgun. Does that sum it up?
you say it won't work, why does it work elsewhere?
That hasnt been easily shown at all

There is no longer a registration here but you are still required to have a license to buy ammo. I have a POL ( posession only ) which allows me to own what I have but I can't buy more. Since the registraion is gone I think I will be able to buy privately but I would want to find out first.
A PAL is a license to buy a fire arm. You need a special restricted lisence to buy a hand gun or some restricted rifles. Full auto is banned.
When I go to buy shotgun shells they ask to see my paperwork. THey won't sell to me without it. I could buy it from someone so it's kind of limited that way. To get my license renewed they asked me all sorts of questions:
any criminal charges
changed jobs
been fired in last two years
taking any pills for depression
split up with wife or GF ( they have to sign the paper saying you're OK )
moved residence
Many other questions but all are designed to asess your risk factor. I got mine without problem but many people give up before they send it in because they know they won't qualify. The main difference being gun ownership is considered a privlegde here, not a 2nd A right.
