Please read the lead before answering.
... the simultaneous implementation of laws targeting multiple firearms restrictions is associated with reductions in firearm deaths". That is a lower rate of firearms deaths in general. The specific restriction on purchasing is the one associated with lower rates of intimate partner homicides. Legislating safer storage of firearms is associated with lower rates of firearm unintentional deaths in children. Your misreading of the source leads to your incorrect conclusions. -- RexxS ( talk) 23:47, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
Evidence Review We evaluated peer-reviewed articles from 1970 to 2016 focusing on the association between US firearm laws and firearm homicide. Findings We found evidence that stronger firearm laws are associated with reductions in firearm homicide rates.
"A 2016 systematic review of 130 studies in 10 countries found that stronger laws regulating firearms are associated with reductions in firearm-related deaths, including suicides,(Santaella-Tenorio) and a 2017 systematic review found that in the US stronger firearm laws are associated with reductions in firearm homicide rates.(Lee)"It would not be difficult to write a more detailed summary of the sources after the conclusion of this RfC. -- RexxS ( talk) 12:54, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
The cited source, "Decreto N° 377/016", was abolished by the new "Decreto N° 345/020" in accordance with article 53 ( https://www.impo.com.uy/bases/decretos/345-2020). Also, I feel that the table should display the following clarifications
1 under "Semi-automatic rifles" column: limited to .22 caliber. 2 under "Handguns" column: limited to 9mm caliber in pistols and .45 caliber in revolvers.
Unfortunately, it seems I'm not able to change the sheet myself.
The source cited for the regulations in the comparison graph is severely outdated, and now longer the law of the land. The following is the current legislation regulating firearms in Portugal : [1] https://dre.pt/dre/detalhe/lei/50-2019-123436957
Automatic firearms are not unconditionally prohibited from civilian ownership, and a license to own them alongside other class A weapons may be granted to collectors, as stated in article 4;
'Sem prejuízo do disposto no número anterior, mediante autorização especial do diretor nacional da PSP, podem ser autorizadas a venda, a aquisição, a cedência, a detenção, a utilização, a importação, a exportação e a transferência de armas, munições e acessórios da classe A destinados a colecionadores, museus públicos ou privados, coleções visitáveis, investigação científica ou industrial e utilizações em realizações teatrais, cinematográficas ou outros espetáculos de natureza artística, de reconhecido interesse cultural e histórico, com exceção de bens e tecnologias militares cuja autorização é da competência do membro do Governo responsável pela área da defesa nacional.'
Centerfire rifles with a magazine capacity of over 10 and pistols with a magazine capacity over 20 may also be authorized for sport shooters. 213.194.147.250 ( talk) 05:43, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

In the "Comparison" section, South Sudan, Yemen, and 39 states are shown in blue—meaning that they require a permit to purchase a handgun.
Recently, though. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Maryland Shall Issue v. Moore that the state's permit to purchase law is unconstitutional. (Although her 7-day waiting period and state-police, background check laws remain in effect.)
Ought Maryland to be changed from green to blue on the bottom map?
