^^^ We already have this in Canada bro, you are barely allowed to have an FAC and then you go thru a bunch of crap just so you can own some high powered air rifles and some hunting rifles.
To get a handgun permit, you'd have to be in law enforcement of some sort or part of a shooting club. You could never just carry the weapon in a bag, you need a special case for it, and you're not even allowed to stop to get some gas while you're carrying it, lest you get the urge to pop one into the teller to steal a $20.
Personally, I think it's all BS. The only thing keeping Canada relatively crimeless is the Social Assistance people get here(no need to commit a crime out of necessity).
