by **Las Palmeras** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 10:48 am

Does your Constitution guarantee the right to own guns? Yes. Article 9 states that: Citizens of the People's Republic may, for their protection, own guns and arms.

What restrictions are in place at the federal level? Sub article 9a: However armor-piercing ammunition is prohibited, along with certain Military-exclusive weapons and/or munitions.
-Sub article 9b: But licensed collectors in good civil standing may be able to obtain permits to collect older arms and specific Military-exclusive weapons.

Is open carry allowed? Depends in the place and time. Some public establishments discourage it (despite not really banning it), and some private establishments do so as well but these maintain a right to ban it alltogether; a prime example being apartment and mass-housing complexes.

Is concealed carry allowed? It's permitted in some areas; among them red light districts. Concealed carry is very popular with prostitutes.

Is there a gun registration program? Yes.

What types of guns are not allowed (if any)? Things deemed military-grade, however that itself is vague because many former battle rifles are probably in the hands of many citizens. *However, some few and small areas that were once Communal Farms have semi-autonomy. From Cold-War era drills some probably still retain DShK heavy machine guns, and even small amounts of WWII era anti-material weaponry (mostly Soviet hand-me-downs).

What percentage of your nation's eligible citizens own guns? Less than 3%, officially by registers. However bear in mind that many citizens are in possession of firearms that were once government property (that's mostly unregistered); some of them in the older AK family, and many second-line weapons like carbines in the SKS/SVT families, or older bolt-action weapon platforms. Mostly Mosin-Nagants, Springfield rifles, and converted Arisaka or Mauser rifles. Also very likely high in possession are TT pistols. *Following 1984, there was a Cash-for-Guns disarmament initiative on the basis of public safety (and because many saw toasters and blenders as more useful than a dusty rifle) which returned many weapons, however it is still hard to tell how many former government weapons are in civilian hands. Many of these firearms are also unofficially converted and sold to foreign collectors and gun enthusiasts. Others enter a grey market or circulate underground and away from the law.

What groups of people are not allowed to own guns (if any)? Convicted criminals and people with known ties to violent/criminal organizations.

Are permits required to purchase a gun? Yes. Apart from being over 23, one has to have a psychological-psychiatric clearing from a public or private clinic with a valid license, and they mustn't have a criminal record that goes above minor infractions.

Does your nation have "stand your ground" laws? There is no explicit dogma when it comes to those policies, but there isn't any explicit duty to do the opposite. Prosecution laws when it comes to manslaughter discourage most "shoot-first" actions if proven to actually be manslaughter. One, because though legal detainment is legally three days, it can be extended if petitioned by the prosecutors and the legal bureaucrats seldom want to "offend" prosecutors (sometimes police prosecutors). Furthermore Double Jeopardy is permitted at a constitutional level in some circumstances where acquittal is involved, so it's possible somebody can be "revised".

Historically the people of Las Palmeras never had a concept of "freedom" , let alone the implications in protecting it like the American's cherished 2nd Amendment. For nearly 400 years (most of it's history); most people were peon laborers or even property of landlords and ultimately subjects to the Spanish Crown. Few if any could own arms, except for Spanish lords or direct descendants of nobility, and save for revolts few questioned the established order. Republican thought and Enlightened thought arrived very late in the 1810s-1820s; and the failed revolution led to mass forced famine and brutal reprisals which only strengthened the Authoritarian and communal view on life, and a mistrust to Enlightened ideals which "obviously led to ruin".

One family could be executed for the perceived offences of one, and the desire to please meant that in-group servitude assured survival and protection; this was key in plantations and workshops. In 1898, the Independence from Hispania meant that people were free however many criollo landlords turned into latifundistas, sweatshop holders who continued the customs and were employed by foreign companies. Modernization in the 1920s-1940s meant that many became literate but servitude under the State was still high and the vastly hierarchical and communal social dynamics retained their ground. The 1959 Revolution and the Socialist Spring only revised goals, and the new system adapted to the old customs. Proletariat were...at most, still workers for a big National Goal, something that did not change since the 1520s as serfs under God and the Crown; leading to a generally obedient and self-depreciating populace under stress-free circumstances which paradoxically has a latent anger and a dangerously latent nationalism and authoritarian group-think.

True liberalization in the 1980s sparked a true cultural revision and revolution that ultimately also adapted to the old system. "Dependency, Loyalty, and Love" are still strong and only revised to occasionally serve individual goals. However the old customs are hard to shake. One's life is not their own if they are killed, and nobody wants to be next to a killer, the desire to please in order to be protected and loved is still high. Hence, many gun owners are probably idle and repulsive about their own tools. To simply put it, "freedom" is an alien construct culturally. In the typical mindset, you can give a man a gun but they'd reply "What do I do with it now?"

Does your Constitution guarantee the right to own guns? Yes.
What restrictions are in place at the federal level? In general, people are permitted to own sidearms at most. That should be quite sufficient for self-defense, or holding out until the police show up. 'Sidearms' doesn't just cover pistols and firearms - it covers things such as swords too, which are perfectly legal.
Is open carry allowed? Yes.
Is concealed carry allowed? No.
Is there a gun registration program? Yes; it is how you get a license. It must be renewed every five years.
What types of guns are not allowed (if any)? Things larger and more powerful than sidearms; automatics.
What percentage of your nation's eligible citizens own guns? >80%.
What groups of people are not allowed to own guns (if any)? People with specific mental illnesses, people with a history of mental instability, people with a criminal record, children below 16, non-permament residents, or people on a special Royal Ministry of Justice list.
Are permits required to purchase a gun? Yes; they're part of the registration process (and must be refreshed every five years), but they're not too difficult to obtain - unless you are in any of the above groups.
Does your nation have "stand your ground" laws? There is no such explicit law; but it's covered by a number of acts of parliament and royal decree - these, however, don't quite amount to that.

by **Ashyaria** » Thu Dec 25, 2014 11:34 am

Does your Constitution guarantee the right to own guns? No. There is, however a law requiring all citizens to at least own a firearm at their household.
What restrictions are in place at the federal level? None.

Is concealed carry allowed? Of course. If you're jumped in a back alley downtown in the middle of the night, pull it out and put him down.
Is there a gun registration program? We try to keep track of who owns guns and who doesn't, but it hasn't done anything much.

Does your nation have "stand your ground" laws? Yes. If you're attacked, you have the full authority to defend yourself.

What restrictions are in place at the federal level? None.
Is open carry allowed? Yes.
Is concealed carry allowed? Yes.
Is there a gun registration program? Yes, see 'permit' question.
What types of guns are not allowed (if any)? None
What percentage of your nation's eligible citizens own guns? 63%
What groups of people are not allowed to own guns (if any)? Only prisoners and mental patients are banned from carrying armaments.
Are permits required to purchase a gun? Firearms classified as 'small arms' (as in: able to be carried on one's person) are considered to be goods and require no permit or registration to purchase or construct, firearms not classified as 'small arms' (like, say, heavy machines guns or artillery) are considered engineering projects and require an engineering permit to purchase or construct.
Does your nation have "stand your ground" laws? Yes. Arguable we are even more extreme: It is completely legal to kill a disarmed individual who has recently attacked you but currently poses no threat, as it is assumed they will pose a future threat to either you or another person and it is safer to eliminate them immediately. Similarly, responding to an attempted assassination with assassins of your own is not just legal but expected.

Does your Constitution guarantee the right to own guns? No.
What restrictions are in place at the federal level? Only police officers, intelligence operatives, and military personnel can possess firearms after receiving special permits, and these firearms may not be stored on their property or kept by them while they are off-duty unless they receive a special waiver (except for intelligence operatives, whose duties require they usually have a weapon on hand at all times). There is also a process for civilians to obtain firearms, but in general only wealthy politicians and powerful corporate personnel are able to go through with this process, as it is lengthy, expensive, difficult, and requires information that few people have access to.
Is open carry allowed? Only for police, intelligence, and military personnel.
Is concealed carry allowed? Only for police, military, and intelligence personnel.
Is there a gun registration program? Almost every firearm in the country is equipped with GPS locators, fingerprint systems connected to the registered owner's biometrics, and all guns are regularly inspected and are registered to their owners. The intelligence community, special police units, and certain military units are exempted from many of these regulations, however, out of operational necessity.
What types of guns are not allowed (if any)? Civilians are not permitted to possess firearms, and police officers are usually limited to handguns (though SWAT teams and the like may be more heavily armed).
What percentage of your nation's eligible citizens own guns? 0%- the state owns their weapons, not them.
What groups of people are not allowed to own guns (if any)? Civilians of all types, regardless of gender, race, religion, political or sexual orientation, are not permitted to possess firearms.
Are permits required to purchase a gun? Yes, though "purchase" would be the wrong word for it.
Does your nation have "stand your ground" laws? In a way. Police, military, and intelligence personnel are generally given permission to stand their ground if they are assaulted, but if a civilian (equipped with an automatically illegal firearm) did so, this would be a crime.
