Everyone in Elcric Kcalb has the right to firearms. It's up to the states what kind of firearms people have access to and how strict they are about registration and control.

The Right to Bare Arms is promised and held sacred within the Californian Constitution, the highest and most upheld set of laws within our nation. It does not state what "type" of arms, either...

You must pass a series of tests and 4 day long courses to own a gun.
Automatic assault weapons and anything more than a shot gun/hunting rifle/pistol is reserved for the military.

Private ownership of nuclear and biological weapons is outlawed. Ownership of firearms, explosives, heavy weapons, and military vehicles requires licensing but is otherwise unrestricted.

Owning weapons in Arkiasis is a privilege, not a right. You must have a gun license before you're able to obtain a weapon. Getting a gun license requires a series of background checks, gun safety and handling courses, a written exam, and a oral exam.

Wait, let's trim out the double-negatives:

Equinia wrote:Owning guns or firearms are legal in Equinia, unless they have a permit, a license, or they are over 18 years of age.


So guns are legal unless there's a permit for them or you're over 18? Does that mean that only children are allowed to own firearms, and said firearms must be unlicensed?

My mind. It's blown.

The idea itself doesn't exist in Narcidia, the sheer vastness of the Empire and its internal politics however assure that most able bodied men do own a weapon, whether or not of quality is another story. There are also the multitudes of adventurers and mercenaries who wander the land etcetera. Defacto legal but the term does not as mentioned, exist.

Citizens have been allowed to mount bear arms on their wall since we had laws.
But no, citizens are not allowed to have firearms. This has been the case since they first appeared in TNEL in the 10th century.

No private ownership of firearms in Songhia. The only way a person can carry a gun is as a part of their office, ie as a soldier, police officer, or the like.

Private weapons ownership is considered a dangerous civil right, and our government has adopted a policy of abolishing civil rights wherever possible.

The right to bear arms is absolute in Geo. Everyone is allowed to obtain any kinds of weapons possible as well as use them while their life or liberty is being threatened. Without question.

Commoners and private subjects have the right to carry and be armed with weapons up to semi-automatic weapons, the only exception to this is the realm of Breheim where due to the martial law that is in effect so are the native Brehemians not allowed to keep or carry firearms while other minorities as the Runit and the Imerian colonists are allowed and Imerians are actively encouraged to do so.
