    They’re non perishable goods and there are hundreds of thousands already out there. Many were never tracked. I have possession of one that was built from before computers and was definitely never tracked. I’m not some gun nut either, it just ended up in my hands after being passed down multiple generations.

      Yeah, asbestos used to be everywhere too, same with lead paint, they still rightly regulated them. That shits way harder to get rid of than hand-held objects, there are still old buildings with lead paint on them and asbestos in them all over the country. But that doesn’t mean regulating them didn’t work or shouldn’t have been done. Countless, needless, horrible deaths have been avoided by those regulations.

      At least people who use guns for recreation have some kind of argument, this whole “it’d be too hard” bullshit is just lazy and pathetic.

        Did and of them have as many guns per capita as the US and have an almost perverted obsession with guns and individual freedoms like the US?

          The country that claims to be the foremost in space travel, science, math, medicine, research, sports, money and freedom, that has survived COVID, H1N1, Spanish flu, OC43 and cholera, one of the richest, most technologically advanced, populous and developed - can’t work out a system to control deadly machinery on top of its systems for maintaining the entire populations tax, driving, citizenship, medical, judicial, work, abodes, transport, roads, waterways, sewers, water, garbage, education, public parks and telecommunications?
