It would depend on how serious the law is with dealing with the black market.
If black markets were able to be regulated, they wouldn't be black markets.
Nobody including me said a word about regulating anything.

A person isn't a criminal until he/she becomes one. Many shootings are emotion outbursts and opportunistic. "Crimes of passion." Also crimes of economic desperation. A person doesn't catch his woman with another man and says "you two stay right there while I go try to round up a gun" and a druggie without a dollar can't buy one. No child ever sought out a black market gun to accidently shoot himself or another kid.
These absolute slogans - on both sides - just don't work. There is no utopia and there are no absolutes. The debate should be in terms of reality, not absolutist slogans.
In World War II we had a zero tolerance policy to Nazi's operating in the USA. We tried to create an environment where no Nazi would have been able to last thirty minutes operating on a street corner or out of their car or house without a dime being dropped on them and the full force and power of the government coming down upon them like a ton of bricks. That is what I am talking about in terms of how serious the law is intended to be.

I used to go to a bar occasionally, on Mill Ave. in Tempe down the street from two other bars I enjoyed. A short walk between the three. At the Asylum there was a sign similar to the one you give as an example. There was a peg board below it with a bouncer to check your weapon; and, I have to add the peg board held many. Memories.
Well in Canada since we've banned guns since the 1960s it's rather effective, since the guns aren't here. They have to spend a lot of time, money, and risk to import them form the U.S.. It wouldn't work in the U.S. since the weapons are already there.
Um, you have lots of guns in Canada. More than most nations.
We do but for the most part legally purchased hunting rifles and shotguns. Since if you own one you usually own several. I actually don't know anyone who only owns only one gun. Hunting and sport shooting is very popular.

Totally contradicting your first statement...
Canada's gun laws are appallingly complex and restrictive, compared to the US, but you have lots of guns, including semi-automatics that could be used in mass shootings.
If you look at Canadian stats on almost anything (murders, rapes, abortions, theft, etc) it becomes clear... Canadians are just more civilized and self-restrained than Americans, as a cultural thing.
It's what we want we are not gun nuts like Americans we see no reason for a person to be able to own anything more than a hunting rifle or shotgun and certain handguns. What Americans may not know is that concealed carry is legal in Canada but the firearms officers refuse to give the permits.The Criminal Code states that a prohibited firearm is:
a handgun with a barrel length of 105 mm (4.1 inches) or less;
a handgun designed or adapted to discharge 25 or 32 calibre ammunition;
a rifle or shotgun that has been altered to make it less than 660 mm (26 inches) in overall length;
a rifle or shotgun that has been altered to make the barrel length less than 457 mm (18 inches) where the overall firearm length is 660 mm (26 inches) or more;
an automatic firearm and a converted automatic firearm;
any firearm prescribed as prohibited.
It's actually not that hard since there is a list and:

Y'all are welcome to do things your way; we'll do things our way.
A good example of why we don't trust government: they do **** like this if they can get away with it.

Actually one MP here was kicked out of parliament until he apologized for saying people who want gun control are like Hitler.Hold on. Wait. You're suggesting that a magazine capacity limit is not the same thing as taking away all guns forever!?
Blasphemy, sir. We don't do nuance around here. Gun control is Hitler, and a lack of gun control is also Hitler.
