Gun Control is Completely Useless.

Your characterization of the situation is merely a reflection of your bias towards gun ownership.
I get it.
You were brought up in a culture that loves and admires guns. What choice did you have?
But in order to create a culture that hates and disrespects guns what else is there to do but to start to eliminate them?
There is no one step that ever achieves a difficult goal.
We are taking baby steps and the elimination of the legal war gun market is an easy and logical beginning.
Um. . . because handguns and machine guns are different things?
It's like asking "how can you even begin to address fentanyl use when people are still able to buy aspirin?"
But I commend you for getting to the notion that handguns are the overwhelming majority of the problem. I personally favor a pretty liberal regime of long gun ownership, and effectively no right to own or carry a handgun, but a licensing regime that permits it upon presentation of one's bona fides.
You were brought up in a culture that loves and admires plaid flannel shirts and drunk lumberjacks. What choice do you have?
Yeah, a "semi-automatic assault rifle" is like a "knife with no edge."
Still kinda dangerous, but not the real deal.

Assault weapon: a rock in a sock intended to be used against a person.
A rock in a sock intended to use against a paper target: Not a weapon. Not an assault weapon.
What would be a valid reason for hating and disrespecting guns?
When guns are used improperly, is it the guns who is at fault or the guy pulling the trigger?
You are a complete moron.
My guns are bought and used for what they are supposed to do. Hunting.
That's pure utter unadulterated bull shit, Hoid and you know it as would a five year old child. That would only apply in the situation of WAR. Outside of war that is NOT the proper use of a gun. How thick can you be?
Yep, sometimes you reach a point where you have to quit wasting time on these dummies!
I admit it is easier in NZ because we are a small, remote island with a team of 5 million people and, to quote Jacinda, most are goody two shoes types.
Thats one of the reasons I like it here.
6 months in each would be ideal for endless summer.
Tempted to buy in Orillia.
Yeah, the reason I focused on "reasonable cause" is successive Liberal gov'ts in this country have reduced the constitutional right to be free from unreasonable search to the point of irrelevance. And yes, the right is specifically listed in our Charter of rights and freedoms.
The Firearms Act gives the state the right to "inspect" any place where they believe there is a gun collection, or any grandfathered prohibited weapon. That "inspection" allows them to search, to seize, and leaves the owner subject to 2 years in jail he he refuses any aid requested by the "inspectors". Oh, and the Catch 22............no warrant is required. If you refuse entry, that in itself is reason for a judge to issue a warrant. So, you have rights until the second you invoke them, then they disappear in a puff of smoke.
The current Liberal gov't has brought in impaired driving laws that allow the police to administer drug or alcohol testing with no reasonable cause (technically a search)
Socialists, even socialist light parties, despise individual rights.
