Eh, not quite. See my post above. But essentially yes- we have a membership number that links us to our Photo ID, address and local Airsoft field. Meaning only that owner of that number can buy guns for themselves.
It's a decent way to stop the average Joe committing an accidental crime (like a 15 y/o playing with their mates in a public park) which saves local law enforcement from arresting/shooting kids or adults with no common sense.
Does it make violent gun crime better? Hmm, I doubt it. But the UK is very tricky to get any real firearm anyway so it's hard to say if our solution will work for Canada/BC.
