Hunting rifles and shotguns are not registered, but (many) semi-automatic rifles (e.g., AR-15) would have to be registered—as do handguns—so some ratio of licensees-to-'restricted'-class firearms can be estimated. These restricted-class items can only be used at a licensed range, and so are generally used for fun/target shooting as well as sporting activities (IPSC, IDPA, three-gun).
