You can see it is an American post because there is no option of "total ban"
What country has a “total” ban on firearms?
Total ban for civilians within population centres, where there is nothing to shoot save people, is totally normal everywhere except Burgerland.
I wouldn't go as far as saying a total van is totally normal everywhere else, because I don't know many countries with such a ban. I don't know many other countries with concealed or open carry laws, so that's certainly a difference.
Countries like Switzerland and Germany prove that private gun ownership can go hand in hand with regulation and enforcement, and not cause as many casualties as in the US.
Sure, not total in the sense that gun ownership is illegal, but you if you take a fucking gun to a city you will have your license revoked and probably go to prison. That is unless the gun was kept locked down, dismantled and securely separate from the ammunition in your trunk.
The point is to remove guns from people and places where they can do the most harm, like in a population centre. They have no reason to be there, and most of the world recognizes this.
