It’s a feature not a bug to them. They want to make owning guns difficult. Make it so that you have to pay attention to the news otherwise one day you were not being a felon, kind of takes the coolness out of holding guns. A lot of people will just say screw it and sell or turn their crap in. Imagine all the people who have guns from relatives passing away they don’t even know what they own. Plus this doesn’t cost them anything. They don’t have to divert any money from any programs they actually want to run.
