Gun laws vary widely by country. The UK and China both ban private ownership of guns. Many other countries enforce laws that make it extremely difficult to own a gun, especially if you have a criminal record. Some countries with strict gun control include Australia, Japan, Singapore and Canada.

In Canada for example, "handguns must be registered and potential buyers must undergo training, a personal-risk assessment and a criminal background check; supply two references; and have their spouses notified before purchase" (Source: Washington Times, linked below).

In the United Kingdom, the right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by law. Police in the UK do not generally carry gun. In the UK, citizens are "not allowed to possess semi automatic and automatic firearms, handguns and armour piercing ammunition" (Source: gunpolicy.org, linked below).
