I don't think the problem is private gun ownership, it is all about *who* is allowed to own a gun and how thorough the policiing of it is.
ie A mate has a few hunting rifles.
He had to get a license(whole bunch of bs involved in this), gun has to be locked away in a safe and he is registered with teh police as a gun owner. The police can knock on his door at any time ot *check* that the guns are locked away safely.
Then there are restrictions on the types of guns, and I do not know about you, but I cannot count the number of times i've needed an assault rifle
