I think that the :kkkanada: system with some tweaks would actually be pretty decent if you still wanted to have civilian gun ownership but also not want to have constant mass shootings. There's a training/testing process you need to go through, a lengthy waiting period where they do a background check and contact references and to make sure you're in a good state of mind, and then you get a license which allows you to purchase certain kinds of guns. The most common are the standard PAL and RPAL, the PAL is basically long guns only, while the RPAL includes handguns (before the ban) and scary black rifles and shorter rifles.
I'd like to see it be more stringent on storage and transport rules though because while the biggest source of guns used in crime are smuggled from the US, a fair number of them are stolen from Canadian legal gun owners.
Also, they'll ban shit based on how scary it looks rather than actual capability, so you'll have the AK platform banned but until recently you could easily get a vz58 or M14. But now after that one guy domed a bunch of cops Trudeau wants to ban almost every semi auto, which tbh isn't that big a deal but like everyone in Canada has an SKS so idk how that's gonna work.
