Such bans are simply knee jerk legislation with no real reasoning. If you believe "lives will be saved" by such bans - you mark yourself as a ill informed advocate for dumb legislation. Short take - you don't know what you are talking about.
When responding to this thread - it would be nice if you state your "credentials" - so others can judge the legitimacy of your statements.
I have over 50 years of experience with firearms. I qualified expert with both the M16 and 1911a and qualified with the riot shotgun (pass/fail rating) while in the service of the USCG. I have owned 100s of guns, sold 1000s and built several from blank recievers. I have had a concealed carry permit since Sept 13 of 2001 and carried daily without incident.
You would be hard pressed to find a firearm that I could not safely pick up - load and fire - with no instruction at all.
What are your thoughts on magazine capacity limits?
Indeed in every country where restrictions have been introduced its been successful.
In the US it seems you value your guns more than your people.
Sure.
People in your country now commit suicide less with a firearm.
But - do more now step off a high building?
...
You might want to walk closer to the curb.
