When it comes to restricted guns it's 10X's worse!

I have to inform federal law enforcement each time I put a gun in the trunk of my car in order to transport it to the shooting range. Furthermore the shooting range keeps a record of every time I show up and reports that to the police too. Lastly if I fail to go to the gun range at least once a year then the gun range reports me to the police and I can both lose my license and be criminally charged.

Add that if any of my guns go missing I'm criminally liable during the period it went missing and that I reported its loss to the police. So if I go to dinner on a Friday night and someone breaks into my home and steals a gun and I don't find out until midnight... If they murder someone at 9pm I'm criminally liable.

Yet with all these procedures and laws people still get murdered with guns in this country. The simple fact of the matter is that criminals will always be able to get their hands on a gun and strict laws only make it difficult for the good guys to own them

And Yes... We've got the same Mother Fucking Communist Bastards here in Canada pushing for stricter gun control laws.
