Almost all hand guns were banned. The owners were compensated by the government for them when they were taken. I am not sure how much money it cost to take all the guns from the owners but I bet it was hundreds of thousands. All that money for nothing. Gun crime has increased since the ban. I think the ban should be over turned and people should again be allowed to own hand guns.
Not quite all hand guns were banned. You can still legally own (with the correct paperwork) black powder guns. These can be the flintlock type we usually think of but, you can also own black powder revolvers as well.
I am interested to know how we can hold the Olympics in this country. It includes pistol shooting but those pistols are illegal in this country.
