    So he was already prohibited from possessing firearms, let’s prohibit him even more! Makes total sense, right?

      The prohibition for 10 years means he now cannot legally get a PAL and legally buy firearms. I get it, it seems pointless, but its about preventing legal firearms from reaching people unfit to use them responsibly. The illegal side still needs to be addressed by confronting the illegal gun trade.
