How many different gun types do we need to have legal in this country, anyway? Sure, choice decreases, whatever. This way there are no gray areas, no slight modifications to keep track of. Just a short list of guns you can legally own that are capable of hunting, or sport shooting or whatever, but have the limitations we desire like rate of fire, magazine size etc.
Note that I know nothing about guns, so maybe this is a dumb idea but it seems like it would simplify the argument a lot.

The trouble with guns in Canada now are two fold. 1. folks can bring in modifications for their guns that make them more lethal 2. there is a black market for guns to use in criminal activity. it is worth stating that 90% of gun owners are not doing this.
It is very difficult to control or restrict this because the people doing this are willfully breaking the law. Making stricter laws does not stop these people. All it is is good PR. It punishes law abiding gun owners. So yeah, you could make the laws more simple, but its not going to stop the people who are trying to break the law anyways.
