Americans and guns

I don't know anybody who owns A gun.
But I know a whole lot of people who own many.

What's it like in your country?

I don't know if any of the people I know have guns. It's not something that comes up in conversation. You have to have permission from the police to buy, borrow, or inherit a gun of pretty much any kind except airguns of 4.5 mm or less calibre and paint ball guns. There are also restrictions on how many guns one can have. You can only have one for each type of shooting you do at a gun club for instance. To qualify for a reserve rifle you have to have competed in ten tournaments of which five must be open tournaments.

It's likely that a number of people in this little town have them because there is a gun club and there are elk not too far away that are hunted.
