In Denmark guns are almost impossible to get. The only one swho are
allowed to carry handguns are the police and they carry .38 automatics,
not sure which brand. People whoe have a hunting permit/license are
allowed to own shotguns and hunting rifles, to be used only for hunting.

Weapons that are capable of firing multiple shots with a single press of
the triggers are not avaliable for anyone (except the army dudes, when on
duty)

Scuse me ! what country do you live in ?? :)

Guns are NOT impossible to get in Denmark, I know several people who own
handguns, shotguns, and rifles. "All" you have to do (AFAIK) is attend
certain cources, take a test, have a clean record then you can get a Hunting
License which allows you to buy (again AFAIK) Shotguns and rifles don't know
about handguns I think you need to join a shooting club who, after some time
and a couple a tests wouches for you. Then you're able to buy a handgun - A
teacher I had in scool had several guns one of them a Glock 17. Of course
you're not allowed to carry it on the street unless you're going to or from
your shooting club.

Oh and the police DO NOT carry .38 they carry something like 5.56 mm(0.22
cal ?) handguns - totally pityfull, totally worthless (kan du huske
urolighederne ved EF afstemning - ca 100-120 skud loesnet - ikke 1!
doedsfald. Hvis du har en kraftig laederjakke paa plus en sweater kan du
ikke maerke det (efter sigende))
