Yes, guns are still available for sports shooters, and hunting etc. But we also strengthened the laws concerning how weapons must be stored (in a safe). The police have the right to turn up at the door of any registered gun owner and demand to inspect their storage at any time.
I am not sure how often that actually happens, because my guns are all digital :P
- cgriswald 11y ago> But the zero massacres since 1996 is still significant. There have been many massacres since 1996. One even involved guns. All that has happened with the banning of guns is that the weapon of choice for difference crimes has changed. In the case of mass killings, arson seems to have become the weapon of choice.
