"How many guns were around before the buyback? I honestly dont know and for the record I am pro gun ownership. But, theres a big difference in the study if 600,000 out of 800,000 were bought as opposed to 600,000 out of 8,000,000."
Most of the buyback was semi-auto rifles and any handguns.
You can't own semi-auto rifles here and handguns....what a pain in the azz!! I'm doing just to prove a point but it's a long process.
1. You have to have a safe ... Not something I disagree with
2. You have a 3 month probation period with a gun club....if they like you they recommend you for a license.
3. after they recommend you...you can get a license....30 dollars a year...
4. once you have your license you must shoot competitively 11 times a year.
5. after you get your license you cannot purchase a pistol for 6 months. after that 1 a year i believe.
6. at any time the police can enter your premisis to ensure that your firearms are in the safe or not out for any unauthorized reason.!
