A PAL license is Canadian...this is a US Mass shooting thread. There is literally nothing preventing me from going to Walmart or Sports Academy or any other arms dealer and walking out with a gun down here.
Fines...we had 4 guns stolen out of unlocked cars in our neighborhood last month. There are no fines to those gun owners just a plee from the county Sheriff that guns need to be locked up inside at night.
Canada doesn't have a problem to solve. The US does and those things do not exist to any appreciable degree. What does exist, exists in a form that is often state, town and county specific in databases that are not searchable or integrateable. They are wholly ineffective.
This is my state:
Permit to purchase: Not required for any firearms.
Firearm registration: Not required for any firearms.
License: Not required except to carry a concealed handgun in public...for mant states this is a $100 fee and one day course or something. And let me tell you many who take this course clearly didn't learn a damn thing.

You’d be subject to a background check at point of purchase, something Canada does not have.
In regards to the stolen guns, no fine or charges would be filed here either. It is completely legal to have firearms in an unattended vehicle
