This comes back to the risk/reward thing again. If there was actually a decent deterrent to these shitheads getting guns illegally, it would be much much less of a problem. But bullshit castle sees fit to tutu with what I do instead of pushing for sentencing to suit the crimes that are actually being committed. Geoffrey Palmer take a bow. 3 months home D here, a fine someone won't pay there. The hole in the system is at the courts end. Making up new regs isn't going to mean shit for the people who break the law. People don't file serials off at the moment because there's no registration scheme - it's because they plain don't give a fuck, they get caught, sweet fuck all happens to them.
It's not like the States where it all gets rather serious being a felon in possession. The serials get rubbed to stop them getting linked to other crimes, yes, but only because consecutive sentencing makes it worthwhile for them to do so. Here, it doesn't matter, so why bother?
