    It's simply to deter people from becoming interested in the shooting sports and to frustrate those already in it, to just give up on the whole idea. They won't have to do outright bans or confiscations, just badger us to death.

    The reality of it is anything being made or imported already has a serial number.

    If it is non-restricted, do you have to inform some registry that you sold it and to who? If not....meh. just more numbers.

    It would be nice to have the marking under a grip or stock.

    When gangbanger pistols show up on Toronto streets marked US17 then that will confirm they were smuggled in. Of course that won't happen since all the numbers will be ground off anyways. Typical libtards think yet another number will stop trafficking or crime.

    If you think these are remotely similar, please do humanity a favor and neuter yourself.

    The point of the firearms marking is to track the international flow of firearms. It's in case they're being moved from the legal market to the black market, and exported to conflict zones or non-state actors of concern like terrorists, criminals, etc.

    I don't think it's going to be very effective because, frankly, the producers and exporters of weapons in high demand in conflict are probably not going to be stamping anything on their guns, much less the import country and year.

    I imagine illegal traffickers might falsely mark guns
