About the baddies - it's hard to play the game by the rules if the other side won't. That's why the "cultural and democratic" Europe has such a hard time with immigrants and tibla's etc.
My country isn't something I could call a gun-friendly place, but it's not too bad either, I can conceal-carry a firearm and use it for self defense and getting a weapon registered as such is a matter of stating the intent while handling the paperwork. Yet, as you already noticed, buying one takes a permit and everything is registered. And civilians have some restrictions (centerfire handgun is either 21+ or 18+ and mandatory military service done), fifty cal and up are a big no-no. And there are some size restrictions on firearms, basicly minimum barrel and overall length (but these are pretty OK, as SBR and collapsible stocks can be had. IIRC for the rifle the barrel had to be at least 12 inches and overall at least 20 inches long). Though, the amount on ammo kept at home has severe limits, not much over a few hundred rounds. Silencers can be had on firearms registered for sporting use and can be bought very easily without any dedicated paperwork, prizes are normal. Typical .22LR can costs around 200$
On the other hand, being a member in Defence League the game is somewhat different, for example it's very much OK to own a Steyr AUG, MP40, MG34 (8mm german cal), South African R5, in a word - full auto weaponry of different types. There are quite a few papers attached to it, but a brand new HK G36C costs around 2000$, so if the money is there, the papers can be handled. I have posted quite a few pics of several firearms.
Oh, and there are A LOT of illegal firearms in the country - war leftovers, and not just firearms, but explosives, grenades, mines, mortar rounds, aircraft bombs of all kinds and sizes... A few armored vehicles, like tanks etc. One fellow has an Acht-Acht on the roof.
One guy had a AC cannon in the house with ammo for it, it was 20mm IIRC. That same fellow boobytrapped the backyard, so when the police came in to apprehend the guy for the illegal weapons and explosives they did move VERY carefully. Commandos got a lot of work that day.
