Firearm Ownership In Your Nation

[The Darcsen People]

What's the status of firearm ownership in your nation?
Legal and in fact compulsory due to how our national defense works (ie, Swiss system).

[Evil Lord Bane]

Any type of Firearm may be purchased and used by anyone, at any age, as long as they do not have criminal conviction. It is mandatory to own at least one by age 18, and buy at least one new firearm every 5 years (once again, unless the person in question is a convicted criminal, in which case they are exempted from this law). My citizens can walk around in public with any firearm they own, openly or concealed. They can even mount weapons on their cars, though there is some restriction to the type of ordinance they can use on public roads (see my factbook for more information on this). Citizens must check there weapons at the door to any government building, and business also have the right to have anyone who comes onto their property check there weapons at the door as well. The average citizen in my nation owns 47 firearms, last time I checked (weaponization).

[The Formerly Glorious Varspithian Empire]

Monkeys laugh at silly question! Why would monkeys want set arms on fire?
Fire burn and hurt many lots! Better leave arms not on fire and stay in tree away from burny things, if you ask monkeys!

[The Incorporated States of the Antarctic]

Our MAVs target hostile areas which we then bomb the shit out of.

Attempting to win a war exclusively via aerial combat is an excellent way to lose a war. Not to mention any nation with a half decent air defense will laugh at your feeble attempts to land a decisive blow while slaughtering your military one hundred to one due to the fact they are apparently fighting with sharp sticks and unfriendly sneers. But it is neither the duty nor the right of the Federation to correct the ignorant behavior of lesser nations only to warn you of your errors and ultimately profit from the looting of your civilizations charred remains when your failure to employ effective military tactics inevitably wipes your people out.

I apologize for my stupidity, I have been watching the news about Israels iron dome and this has made me rethink my idea - combat equipped autonomous small drones to replace men because they actually exist (if this idea is not reasonable my last resort is nukes).

[Estrago]

What's the status of firearm ownership in your nation?
Illegal. Only the police, the armed forces and hunters are allowed to posses, carry and fire arms. However, manufacturing arms is not illegal when the product is destined for export or one of the institutions named above.
Museums that wish to display firearms are required to get a special license. Toy guns are only legal when identifiable as such with the naked eye and at a reasonable distance. Anyone not complying with this law gets severly punished.

I'd advise against nukes, they tend to be incredibly noobish in the wrong hands. Just have normal soldiers. It's hard to beat the good old GI in terms of combat machines.

Two words: CHILD SOLDIERS.

[Laora]

What's the status of firearm ownership in your nation?

Perfectly legal with little (read: no) regulation by the State; the right to bare arms is a fundamental constitutional right that we haven't impeded on because we've rather fostered the idea that the armed citizenry is to deter the foreign invader and the tyrant state equally.

Ditto.

[Khiosa]

It varies across the planet. Some lords allow commoners to own firearms, whilst some only allow their militaries and police forces to do so.

Better than drones, but ultimately ineffective, especially if you've got adults available to conscript. Adults are simply better. This all amusing you're an evil dictatorship and human rights are irrelevent.

Take a child from the age of 3 before it learns compassion. Train it mentally and physically constantly with only a small amount of time to sleep till it reaches ten, once done equip it with only the equipment of the correct size and it's ready to go.

Interesting recipe for a sociopath.

Citizens of Manchuria may not privately own arms, this excludes current and former military personnel as well as police forces and nobility.

The last time we let the people own arms, Xinhai happened.

[Phocidaea]

gun laws in Cevalo nacio are identical to those of Texas

Fun, fun, fun, fun...

That wasn't a legit dig at you my IC responses are generally very harsh and very imperious. Drones are able to function in a support capacity but not as a replacement for soldiers. A nuclear attack forces your opponent to respond in turn with nuclear attack, there's no way it ends without grievous damage done to your nation.

Yeah I'm going to keep spit-balling ideas so any of you seen the film: THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS, well basically soldiers who can kill with their mind.

[Des-Bal]

There are limitations to that, it'll prevent some people from RPing with you and you have to figure out the logistics of using psychic powers on an enemy engaging you at rifle range.

yeah but they can only kill one at a time an therefore it is quite similar to a firearm.

[Des-Bal]

But what has to happen for them to do that? Can they kill someone they can't see, is there a limited distance, how long does it take?

they have to see him, they cannot kill what they do not know is there.

That renders them defenseless when fighting vehicles, soldiers shooting from cover, and snipers.

not anymore than regular soldiers.

You're jacking the thread. Hardish.

Soldiers can shoot vehicles, countersnipe snipers, shoot through light cover and lay down suppressive fire.

[Arthurista]

Every adult citizen takes with him/her the service rifle that was used by that individual during compulsory military service. This is to speed up mobilisation in case of invasion, like Switzerland. The rifle technically remains the property of the state and may be withdrawn at any time, though this practically never happens unless the individual has been convicted of a violent crime.

Hunting weapons are restricted to bolt action rifles and break/pump/lever action shotguns only. Every hunting weapon is registered with the government to facilitate the investigation of violent crimes.

Otherwise, only the police, military and forest ranger services are allowed firearms.

The soldiers have to be able to pin point their enemy anyway and therefore my psychic are not at much of a disadvantage however against vehicles where the troops are concealed they would prove highly ineffective but I would only be resigned to using them in a covert ops role.
