HI! *waves furiously*
Yulis is a big nation of football-loving Socialists, metal-heads, and cat videos. In the way that American "left-wing extremists" are centre-right politicians to the rest of the world, Yulisian "right-wing extremists" are centre-left politicians to the rest of the world.

I'm a person, I live in New Zealand. If you wondered, I am probably laughing at your country right now, but I'll be crying fairly shortly. This stuff is great.

Postby Imperium Sidhicum » Tue Jun 21, 2016 6:50 am

Name of nation: Imperium of Sidhae
Is the right to bear arms guaranteed by law? It's not a right, it's a duty. Every Sidh is required by law to have at least basic combat training and be proficient in the use of firearms. It's just an inalienable part of being a Sidh.
On a scale of 0 (outlawed) to 5 (unrestricted), what is the tolerance level for gun ownership? 5; Whatever one can procure is fair game, as long as it's use is kept within the limits of law
On a scale of 0 (impossible) to 5 (very easy), what is the ease of obtaining a gun? 2; While obtaining an antiquated firearm is fairly easy, modern military-grade arms tend to be beyond the means of most citizens, since there aren't that many on the civilian market to begin with. The military and other state institutions are usually supplied directly by the state arms industry, manufacturing weapons on demand rather than for commercial sale, hence limited commercial availability.

What is the minimum age for gun ownership? N/a; Being cyborgs who are manufactured rather than born, Sidhae have no age limitations whatsoever in their society.
Is a license/permit necessary to obtain or possess guns?
Heavier and more powerful weapons with the potential for significant collateral damage may require one to be certified in their operation in order to be legally discharged, but simply owning a piece requires no special permit. That being said, any arms purchased are still registered on the Codex of the citizen in question, making him legally responsible for their safe and lawful use and storage.
Is citizenship necessary to apply for a gun license? Non-Sidhae cannot become citizens and therefore cannot legally purchase firearms. At the same time, it is not expressly forbidden either, so the authorities do not much care if they happen to own weapons, as long as these weapons aren't turned on proper Sidh residents.
Is a background check (criminal record, mental health) necessary to apply for a gun license? Criminal record isn't a sufficient reason to disqualify a Sidh from owning a firearm - because if a Sidh has accumulated sufficient record to be deemed a liability, he is most likely dead or locked away permanently already. Same is true for mental health - if sufficient mental deviations are found to disqualify one from owning a firearm, that Sidh is likewise most likely already taken by the authorities for debugging and repair, or for euthanasia.
Is a third-party character reference necessary to apply for a gun license? No.
Are gun licenses denied or revoked for individuals with a history or risk of domestic violence? No. Being domestically violent to another Sidh tends to result in severe injury to the offender as well as the victim, so it isn't much of problem to begin with.
Are gun licenses denied or revoked for individuals on a government no-fly list? No. If someone has been deemed dangerous enough to be forbidden to travel off-world, that person is likewise most probably either already dead or locked away safely.
Do prospective gun owners have to pass theoretical or practical gun safety courses? Every Sidh must, as a matter of fact.

Can civilians possess handguns? Of course.
Can civilians possess long guns? Yes.
Can civilians possess semi-automatic weapons? Yes.
Can civilians possess fully automatic weapons? Absolutely.
Which types of guns need to be registered? They don't NEED to be registered. They just automatically are upon purchase.

Can military personnel carry guns off base? No, unless specified otherwise. Which is the case on many Imperial worlds.
Can on-duty police officers carry guns? Absolutely. A huge military-issue energy rifle, and a blocky autocannon-caliber sidearm along with a baseball-bat-sized stun stick are the three inextricable attributes of any Urban Security trooper.
Can off-duty police officers carry guns? If it is their personal weapon, sure. Service weapons must remain in the precinct armory.
Is it legal for civilians to openly carry guns in public? Yes. Not that it is very common, and is mostly associated with Frontier colonists.
Is it legal for civilians to carry concealed guns in public? Yes. Again, not very common - the typical Imperial city is usually safe enough to make even owning a piece unnecessary.

What is the penalty for illegally possessing a gun? "Illegal possession" is defined as possessing an unregistered firearm (such as a trophy weapon, or one bought on black market). Simply possessing such a weapon is not prosecuted, but it is illegal to carry or discharge one. Assuming no other breaches of law were committed therein, the penalty is a sizable fine and the confiscation of the illicit weapon, with the option of redeeming it as registered for the it's market price.
What is the penalty for knowingly transferring a gun to an unlicensed individual? Supplying obsolete firearms to humans and aliens in general isn't in itself illegal, and supplying modern military-grade arms in turn impractical, since most Sidh military weapons are much too large and heavy for unaugmented beings to operate, being designed for use with powered armor (meaning that even unarmored Sidhae will be uncomfortable using them). That being said, supplying military-grade weapons, or weapons of any kind to non-Sidhae hostile to or in rebellion against the Imperium, is strictly forbidden, the penalty being 25 years of hard labour.
What is the penalty for manufacturing an unauthorized gun? Same as for "illegal possession" - simply fabricating an unregistered weapon is not illegal, carrying and using it is.
Can individuals be randomly stopped and searched for illegal guns? The authorities can randomly stop and search individuals for a variety of reasons, illicit firearms being merely one of them.
Is there a program where individuals can voluntarily surrender their illegal guns in return for not being prosecuted? An individual in possession of an unregistered firearm can voluntarily register it with the authorities, making his ownership of one lawful.
What happens to guns that are confiscated or surrendered? Depends. The ones in poor technical condition are usually recycled, while the well-kept weapons are eventually sold at a discount price on civilian market, including weapons confiscated as criminial evidence, the latter being kept in storage until the case pertaining to them is closed.

How many civilian guns are there per 100 people? 350; Most of them are kept in communal civilian armories rather than citizens' own homes.
What percentage of citizens are licensed gun owners? In theory, all of them. In practice, relatively few Sidhae actually own guns, preferring to keep the ones registered on their names in the aforementioned civilian armories, which saves the trouble of purchasing and installing a gun safe according to legal specifications at home.
On average, how many homicides are committed with guns annually? Very few, actually - largely thanks to the omnipresent surveillance, imposing presence of heavily-armed authorities, universality of at least basic combat training, and also the legality of formal duels.
On average, how many deaths occur from guns annually for other reasons (accidents, suicide)? A lot. Suicide is the leading cause of death in Sidh society that has conquered aging and most diseases. Accidents do occasionally happen, though not commonly, since the gun owners of the Imperium are invariably instructed and trained in weapon safety. The second most widespread cause of death is also related to guns - warfare.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.
