When you buy a car, it's registered to your name, even if it's less restricted in it's use.
Our government, especially Liberals, are going to try and make owning guns as much of a pain in the behind as possible, but once you have it in your possession, as long as you have a range membership, it's really nothing to worry about. I got my RPAL with no real intention of getting into restricted firearms, outside of a .500 S&W for kicks (figurative and literal). Now my restricteds outnumber my non-restricteds (for now), as I have a gen1 Steyr M9 and a GSG 1911 for my wife.
