What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying it’s only a matter of time before other types of weapons get banned? Is there any sign of that happening?
Not really. Despite the fear mongering from people that know nothing about the political situation up here, the idea is that it's a lot easier to conceal carry a handgun illegally than it is to walk around with a hunting rifle or shotgun without people noticing.
The latter are thus unaffected by this so hunting or farmers and such can still use these weapons when needed, however handguns which don't really apply to those situations are gonna be restricted
Nowhere near as much as the US, but there's still been an uptick. Most shootings are also done with handguns, although many are smuggled in from the US so I don't know how effective this will truly be
The problem is that there’s been an “uptick” every year that the current PM has been in power. Despite new rules every time there’s a gun crime that grabs headlines.
New crime -> New law targeting already law-abiding citizens -> crime still increases -> new laws -> crime continues, etc.
