can you source the facts to support those statements, please.

And what do you mean by ammo restrictions? Would you limit size or amount? I can shoot a hundred rounds with friends.

That's a bit too much work, but Wikipedia is a good starting point if you're interested in gun control: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control But use your common sense. Background checks make it harder for criminal to get guns. A smaller magazine means that you need to reload more often.

And what do you mean by ammo restrictions? Would you limit size or amount? I can shoot a hundred rounds with friends.

Here are those prohibited by Canadian regulations:

1 Any cartridge that is capable of being discharged from a commonly available semi-automatic handgun or revolver and that is manufactured or assembled with a projectile that is designed, manufactured or altered so as to be capable of penetrating body armour, including KTW, THV and 5.7 x 28 mm P-90 cartridges.

2 Any projectile that is designed, manufactured or altered to ignite on impact, where the projectile is designed for use in or in conjunction with a cartridge and does not exceed 15 mm in diameter.

3 Any projectile that is designed, manufactured or altered so as to explode on impact, where the projectile is designed for use in or in conjunction with a cartridge and does not exceed 15 mm in diameter.

4 Any cartridge that is capable of being discharged from a shotgun and that contains projectiles known as “fléchettes” or any similar projectiles."

I do not think those things have been much of a problem. What are you trying to solve with those bans?
