For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.
While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

I live in the UK, if I wanted to own a gun then it would have to be a rifle or shotgun for hunting, I would have a background check done and be interviewed by the police in order to be issued with a license which I would need to renew every year.
I would also have to have a secure gun case and store the bullets separately to the weapon, if I were going hunting/gun club etc then I would have a number to call at my local police station to notify them where I'm going with my gun and I wouldn't be authorized to deviate from my route.
Even in the UK you can own a gun, but we have laws restricting their distribution and use, therefore we don't have a gun problem like the US.I like these laws; they're sensible.
No, they're not. Not for a country that already has 260,000,000 guns in it. It would be logistically impossible, not to mention a huge waste of police time and resources. This is why anyone not a citizen living in the US should not be allowed an opinion on US laws. You don't live here or know what it's really like. You come here for a vacation and watch the news, but you haven't lived like we do.
Guns are not a problem. The mental health, and healthcare, of the country is the problem.
