Which would you like to see stricter?
Does restricting a firearm based solely on it's appearance or name make a safety difference?
If a firearm with a 4.1" barrel is restricted, what gain is safety is achieved when they prohibit the same firearm with a 3.99" barrel?
Sound attenuation and diminishing hearing damage as well as noise pollution is a good thing, why has the government prohibited suppressors? Especially when they are nothing like what is shown in movies and many non-US countries allow then for exactly these reasons.
Does requiring an additional stamped number and raising the price (UN Arms Marking rules coming into effect this year) on an imported firearm make it safer or less likely to be used in the commission of a crime? All firearms already have serial numbers that are recorded and it's already a crime to alter/remove it.
Lots of the laws we have do make a difference, but there are still a lot that make no sense and have no actual impact on safety.
