I'd just like to see background checks actually leading to certain people not being allowed to get their hands on any kind of gun, period. All too often I'm hearing talk of people in the US who obviously have no business having one or having access to one being able to obtain a gun or guns, freely, even though their past track record is fraught with red flags.
As far as a ban goes, you're talking about a limited ban where only new prospective buyers are denied access to AR's, not a complete ban meaning all AR's everywhere are immediately banned. Although I'm a bit skeptical as to how something like that would fly in the States it is a step, and your country is definitely headed for legislating some type of step such as that, or one like it.
Something's gotta give with the guns.
