They are virtually banned. Like you can't just have a gun. You need an actual reason to own one like being a hunter though I guess you can claim it's for hobby too. Still nearly no one here owns a gun.

Still nearly no one here owns a gun.

If you're speaking about Germany, leave the city, talk to some older folks.
You'd be surprised

They are virtually banned.

There is about as much regulation around guns as around cars in Germany. The license, tax and insurance costs much less for guns, and no one fails the required test unless they point the gun at an instructor.
No one would claim cars are banned.
