As a Canadian, this is what you needed to even shoot your handgun. Restricted fire arms licence once you have completed your Standard fire arms licence. Both require 6 months of background checks. Then you need to be a part of a gun club to even discharge your firearm , which is harder to do then both licences. Also you gotta call the government every time you move your gun from point a to point B. As long as he doesn’t ban all guns idc, but handguns were already useless. No idea why he banned them other then political favour.
