Are they actually less regulated, bon?
I'm assuming there are good collagen lips, they just don't make it to that site.
I assume.
Okay, launchcast taunted me with potential availability on the network. Pissers.
I would be there right now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Are they actually less regulated, bon?
I don't really know, but the answer would probably go something like this: the potentially deadlier the gun, the more heavily regulated it is, and there are more deadly types of rifles than shotguns.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I don't think there's a difference in obtaining one. There is a difference in hunting regulations, at least on the very densely populated east coast. Hunting seasons tends to be shotgun only out here.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I don't know that rifles are more evil than shotguns. Rifles are more precise than shotguns. Once the shot leaves the muzzle of a shot gun it begins to fan out, which makes it more likely that at least part of the load will hit the target. OTOH, shotguns don't have the range of rifles.
If I'm not mistaken, there's also something about thinking about using the gun, loading it, using it, and possible reloading and the time it takes with a shotgun to do all of that.

I forget, which one did Wesley occasionally use in Angel? A shotgun or a rifle? I can't really tell them apart by looking.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Calli, it looked like a rifle to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I can't really tell them apart by looking.
You can usually tell a shotgun by the fact that the barrell is much wider and not as long as a rifle.

Wesley used a shotgun.
