That's pretty much how the law already is, without requiring any sort of PAL. PAL has nothing to do with the potential criminal charges.

Marketplace was making a straw man argument when it claimed that Canadian law doesn't seriously prosecute the misuse of all guns. If someone using a pellet (or airsoft) gun to rob a store doesn't get charged with the full potential weight of the law, that's the fault of the crown prosecutor, not the law.
