Here's a thought...

How about... instead of chasing after skeet shooters, duck hunters and farmers... we try throwing a couple billion taxpayer dollars at running down actual criminals?

UPDATE: Maybe "Farmer Bob's" coyote rifle...

...shouldn't be at the top of that list after all...
Nanaimo RCMP seized a high-powered arsenal yesterday morning, including a .50-calibre machine gun, two automatic assault rifles, grenades, explosives and other firearms - 41 weapons in total.

Police also seized at least $50,000 in cash, half a kilogram of cocaine, and an assortment of blasting caps and detonator cords. But they were particularly concerned about the .50-calibre machine gun, powerful enough to destroy vehicles and airplanes.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Its hard to police criminals because they don't follow the laws. Those nasty criminals don't care one bit about all the rules I have to follow to get my handguns to the range and back."
