Why not?
If I'm importing c-cat stuff from overseas, I have to provide police with the special reasons I need that weapon in my collection.
When I want a new pistol I have to write a letter to the club committe asking for a pink form and saying why I want it and what matches I'll be using it in.
You can't get a gun permit in Australia or the UK without written permission showing access to a suitable place to shoot, so why not the same here?
Might stop idiots firing 7mm Magnums on 10 acre blocks if they had to show they had a legitimate use for and place to shoot such things.
