The American pro-gun community calls anything stricter than “fill out a one page form without lying too much” a “gun ban”.

The only exception to this is when they claim “It can’t be our permissive gun laws because Switzerland has permissive gun laws and they don’t have all the homicides, armed robbery and mass shootings”.

Which is just a lie in the other direction since Switzerland has regulations the pro-gun community staunchly opposes for America, calling them a “gun ban”.
