> Literally the only people affected by "gun bans" are the law-abiding. Any criminal gets armed with cheap black-market weapons.

Norway has pretty strict gun laws, requiring active shooting club membership and documented activity for being allowed to own non-hunting weapons and strict limits on number of firearms based on competition activity level.

Yet I read recently one can get a decent black market 9mm pistol for half what the cheaper models go for in the gun stores...

There's also been a record number of shootings here in the capital this year. Hope it's just a coincidence...
