-can't loan my rifle to a friend
-can't even get my friend to take my rifle to a gunsmith Actually you can.
-can't sell my rifle easily Yes you can
-can't buy another rifle easily Yes you can
-can't import parts for my rifle. I want to try a different pistol grip to see if I like it better? FUCK YOU HAND IN YOUR OLD ONE SO WE CAN DESTROY THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY YOU ARE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO OWN BEFORE WE GIVE YOU AN IMPORT PERMIT Yes you can

A cat:
-I can do all of the above
-If I am a scumbag asshole murderer, I shouldn't have an A-cat but if I do I can just as easily get an E-cat, or just use my A-cat guns to be a scumbag asshole murderer

So we should just remove all difficulties for anyone to own a firearm?

We should remove difficulties for a person who has been considered fit and proper to own 2 functionally identical but cosmetically different firearms, considering that the laws don't actually stop anyone who wants to use them for a nefarious purpose from doing so in the slightest

selling and buying requires permit to procure on behalf of the buyer and potential registry fuckups by police staff (these happen all the time). Not as easy as A cat and a much reduced pool of potential buyers which makes it harder to sell.

I can't let a friend who doesn't have his E possess my E rifle to take it to the gunsmith. That would be illegal as I understand the law. I get mates to drop shit at the smith all the time for me, and vice versa.

The handin policy is literally as I described, unless it has been canned (as it should be for being utterly ridiculous bullshit)
