Handgun restrictions and continuing civilian gun ownership

A participant distinguishes modern-handgun restrictions from hunting and sporting firearms, and offers an explanation involving ammunition supply.

Notes

One participant distinguishes restrictions on modern handguns from the continued ownership of black-powder firearms, rifles and shotguns. Hunting and sporting guns provide examples of civilian firearms that remain in use. The participant also argues that removing the legal ammunition supply has left illegal handguns with almost no ammunition. This is the participant's explanation of the policy's effects, without supporting figures or a detailed account of the legal distinctions.
