2 Models of gun control/bans this commission will probably use:

UK has some of the most strict gun laws in the world, totally banned handgun ownership.
You can own "certain" shotguns small caliber rifles, by showing good reason and going through a stack of paper work. Interesting, in rural areas where gun owernship is highest - crime is also lowest per captia. So gun ban wasn' t enough UK also bans certain knives and pushed to ban more - ie long pointed kitchen knifes- because stabbings are way up in the UK. In the US certain knives are also illegal:

UK GUN BAN enacted in 1997, some of the strictest gun laws in the world-- and the result a decade later:

Australia gun ban (and confiscation-- called a buy back-- but go to jail if you did not comply, lot of ppl did not, SO now they are crimminals by the law, but were previously law abidding citizens) enacted in 1996-7--- and a decade or so later whats going on down under:

But keep in mind any reports or statics you see, given the political side of this look who is talking the numbers. PRO or ANTI- whatever...stats can be/are manipulated. GUN FREE ZONES...What **** should be how about "law abidding citizens unable to defend themselves zones" crimminals do with us what you will....cause when seconds count the police are minutes away..
