I like France's approach to firearms ownership. It is regulated but much more liberal than australia. For instance:
A self defence weapon (handguns) in the home is permitted, provided it doesn't leave the home. Ammo limit is 50 rounds. Given the restrictions, you cant argue with that, it makes sense.
The idea that you can't take your handgun out of the home is something I could argue with.. so where are you going to practice with it?/--set up a range in your basement?? What is wrong with taking a .22 caliber handgun out and shoot some cans, gophers, etc??? Who is that going to endanger? What is the goverment in France so afraid of that gun ownership has to be so censored?
The way I see it--in the US, France, Australia, etc... you have the liberals who are trying to protect everyone from everything.. with their thoughts being basically the general populace is not intelligent enough to take care of themselves..They can't see that no matter what you do, people are going to die, period. Whether that be from airplane accidents, auto accidents, rock climbing, or some crazy nutbag going on a shooting rampage... you can NOT protect everyone from everything...
...such is life...
