The Dutch system makes sense... to get a gun in any capacity, you basically have to be vetted. A distinct effort to try to significantly weight the system against people who would want a gun as a status thing, or want a gun because "ThE bAds". I'm sure the shooting clubs also have some pretty strict requirements to follow to try to keep a group of people from forming a shooting club just to get around the restrictions, and what sorts of guns are actually allowable even with all the hoops jumped through.
