I don't think things will ever improve here. The 'guns are bad' way of thinking has become so embedded in common thinking here, that it is unlikely that laws will become less strict. We in the euro-zone just have to make due with what we have.
Most of these strict laws were only inforced to get the surplus arms out of people's hands after the war and were never slackened afterwards. I do think that some form of 'collector's license' should be reinstated. Usually the safest place for a gun to be is in the hands of a collector.
