Guns are not banned in any country. They are restricted in almost every country, for good reasons. The level of restriction may vary based on culture, history etc.
Also people who claim the same logic applies to kitchen knife and guns are mentally still living in the wild west of the 1800s.
AFAIK guns were banned by the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Sakoku period till the Meiji revolution & gun ownership is still very limited in Japan even today.
Countries where guns are "banned" only include a handful of outliers. I think only Eritrea has a blanket ban on gun possession by civilians. "Applicants for a gun owner’s licence in Laos are required to establish a genuine reason to possess a firearm, for example hunting" (https://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/laos).
Ah, sort of like how concealed carry isn't "banned" in Hawaii because a permitting process exists, but in reality <10 permits have been issued since the system's inception.
