Can you still own pistols in France?
It brought a tear to my eye handing in mine following the prohibition here.
.357 6" blue Python, .38 2" Airweight S&W, 9mm Browning HP, .22 Ruger.
Only thing left is the Anschutz 520/61 & unless I can find another friendly land owner that will allow me a shoot, the days of that are numbered.
Arse.

A lot of people felt and still feel the same way, as for the Anschutz you could always join a club.

Yes pistols no problem here infact nothing is a problem but it has to be semi auto one guy has an Acuracy international 338 Laupa Mag at the club .50BMG is allowed but bit overkill .
Supressers and magazine sizes are unlimited too.
Blackpowder anybody can buy and in any amounts

Just as a slight deviation in the thread... I dont have any problem at all with responsible gun ownership, but I note some of you bemoaning the fact that you can no longer own certain types of guns.

Do you not think drastic cuts in the number and types of guns one can own is a step in the direction of stopping us getting into a situation like the Americans, where gun related deaths per capita FAR outnumber the amount in the UK?

There is undeniably a correlation between the amount of guns in circulation and the amount of gun related crimes / deaths is there not? Or do you think gun control could be better in the UK than the USA and still allow ownership of other types of gun with no greater risk?
