I'm not sure changing the ease of getting these guns is going to stop the shootings. I think it will have to be done through education and awareness. Again just not sure how this is accomplished. |
I'm not sure indes if you didn't respond to anyone because it's obvious the average person doesn't know or understand firearms but I see what point you are making here.
The firearm pictured is not an AR. It's a just right carbine, a line of pistol caliber rifles that are non restricted in Canada. Which means they can be transported no different from any other non restricted firearm, and discharged legally on private land, crown land, or if you want a range. They are very popular for plinking, target practice, and varminting.
