Total ban for civilians within population centres, where there is nothing to shoot save people, is totally normal everywhere except Burgerland.
I wouldn't go as far as saying a total van is totally normal everywhere else, because I don't know many countries with such a ban. I don't know many other countries with concealed or open carry laws, so that's certainly a difference.
Countries like Switzerland and Germany prove that private gun ownership can go hand in hand with regulation and enforcement, and not cause as many casualties as in the US.
Japan has pretty strict gun control, don't they?
There’s definitely many sane countries that have “strict” gun control. But that’s very different to a “total ban”.
