Having the requirement of a firearms license to purchase guns and ammo isn’t a completely unreasonable requirement for the government. Additionally requiring that anyone wanting such a license pass a basic firearms safety handling test also isn’t completely outrageous. Glad to see the gun registry going away though, people who buy guns legally usually aren’t the ones commiting crimes.

I hope you are from Canada.

IMHO both requirements are outrageous.

This statement is outrageous. If you want firearms education then put in the schools where it belongs. Say about the 4th grade. But making some one acquire a license for ownership of a piece of hardware is ridiculous. How about a match license? How about a water license? How about a paper license, those paper cuts are murder.

Under current law lumping guns and ammo together makes [some] sense. As I understand it, a person can legally buy ammo for guns which he legally owns - not which he can legally own but which he does legally own. That could change, depending on the details of any new law.
