Why are the gun laws bad here? Because they're so often ignored? :(
A good chunk of the restrictions for what guns you can own are quite nonsensical. Especially in an age when anyone can produce a semi-auto pistol caliber carbine at home for <$200 (FGC-9), I shouldn't have to spend twice as much to get something with worse ergonomics (since pistol grips and thumbhole stocks are banned for commercial weapons), can only have 10 round magazines, and is subject to more restrictions if that magazine is detachable.
I don't have many issues with the requirements for safety.
