In Switzerland, you can own as many guns as you want, which makes some sense because the vast majority of young men are conscripted into the army and keep their weapons at home. BUT you can't keep any army-issued ammunition in your house, and certain kinds of ammunition is not for sale to individuals period. (The Aurora shooter used armor-piercing rounds, FFS, and blew a 5-inch hole in a girl's head.)
I find that a fair trade. Without ammunition, most guns are about as useful for a weapon as a cast iron frying pan. For people who love guns, you can own as many for your lovely historical collection. Fine. But you can't use all of them. Make it legal to own ammunition of only certain guns - NO belts, NO armor-piercing rounds, none of that s*** should be owned by a private individual. You do not need that to protect your private home, and if you need that for hunting, you need a new hobby.
That said, there's also something very wrong in our culture where SO many men reach for a gun to solve their problems.
