Gun control in your nation

[Tule]

Here is a brief (lol) explanation of the Tulean National Firearms Act of 1992

Terminology

1) A "firearm" is an object designed to project a missile made of solid matter via compressed air or explosive or flammable substances.
2) A "long gun" is a firearm with a barrel longer than 370 mm and an overall length of greater than 840 mm. Such firearms fall into category A.
3) A "Concealable gun" is a firearm with a barrel length between 120mm and 370mm and an overall length of less than 840 mm. Such firearms fall into category B.
4) A "Pocket gun" is a firearm with a barrel shorter than 120 mm and an overall length of less than 210 mm. Such firearms fall into category C.
5) "Overall length" refers to the length of a firearm with any loose muzzle attachments or folding stocks excluded.

Requirements of transfer

1) Category A firearms may not be transferred to individuals under the age of 16
2) Category B firearms may not be transferred to individuals without a short gun permit.
3) Category C firearms may not be transferred to individuals without a concealed handgun permit
4) All firearms must have a unique identification number on it.
5) All firearms transactions must be recorded and both parties involved must have a proof-of-transfer on paper with the signature of both parties on it
as well as the identification number of the firearm being transferred.
6) A person in possession of a firearm according to a proof-of-transfer can be held legally responsible for any damage to person or property caused by aforementioned firearm

The requirements necessary to obtain a short gun permit are as follows:

1) The Applicant must not have committed an indictable offence in the past.
2) The Applicant must not be legally incompetent
3) The Applicant must be at least 21 years of age

The requirements necessary to obtain a concealed handgun permit are the same as the requirements for a short gun permit with the exception that a genuine reason is needed to obtain it, such as a potentially violent working environment, having a restraining order
filed against another person or having received evident threats to life and limb.

no gun control, they can have 'em if they can get em'

[Slovak Tatran]

Guns and other fire weapons should be under control because as we all know, in wrong hands, they can be horrible....just look at US... ppl have guns as their best buddies everywhere they go and then som psychologicaly instable dude runs into school and kills many kids...

I think that only people those pass strict psychological tests should be allowed to own weapons and firearms. They should repeat these tests every certain period of time ie 3 years. Also, rather then arguing they feel insecure and endangered gov. should offer them police detectives/officers to look after them for certain period of time if it is agreed upon that they need security help from the gov.

If anyone agrees with me, feel free to telegram me and we can come up with some kind of effective resolution.

[Without Remorse]

Our nation's ultra tight budget is mostly spent on arming and training citizens above the age of 18, similar to Switzerland. Every house has a weapon, and is well trained in its use. Any armed robbery or mass shooting that has been attempted since these policies were instituted were cut down in a hail of bullets.

Also, any other weapon is licensed like cars. To own any firearm not issued, with the exception of Class B shotguns (non full auto), class B semi auto pistols and revolvers, and Class B (Semi and bolt action) rifles, they must complete a written and practical test, similar to that for a car. There are specific licenses for each class, just like there are licenses for each class of motor vehicle.

If you want to have an awesome 150 MPH+ car for fun, without any sort of purpose, sure, but if you want to have a firearm for fun, without any purpose, people say it is not right. Cars can easily be deadly weapons, and kill far more humans every year. Stats show that there are less motor vehicles in the US than guns, but they kill far more. Why do you need a car that can go faster than the speed limit? And what right do you have to get a muscle car because its cool? You have no constitutional right to a car in the US.

[San Splendido]

Any adult (19+) can buy self-defense items such as OC sprays, stun guns and enormous spiders

Any adult with a clean criminal record can buy hunting weapons (shotguns and rifles which are not automatic or semi-automatic) and the ammunition for them. Sturdy, locked weapons safes are mandatory.

A license for handguns or any type of semi-automatic weapon requires a full background check and a course in weapons safety and handling.

Automatic weapons may not be owned by civilians, but the local police chief or, in the case of weapons fitting certain criteria that qualify them as "machine guns or other heavy automatic weapons", the Minister of the Interior, may grant exceptions with good justifications.

Explosives and weapons firing explosive devices are restricted to licensed demolition experts and the military.

[Kentucky and Northern Virginia]

[The Sivent Isles]

Only those serving or have served in the armed forces are allowed to own guns legally, all civilians aged between 18-35 must serve at least 6 months in the army.

Basically if you want to own a gun here you have to defend it first.

[Sakarnen]

Guns and similar weapons are kept out of civilian hands. Only those serving in the military may own one; should one cease to serve, they must hand back all weapons. Illegal gun ownership is treated as a very serious crime.

[Lesbia]

The right to bear arms is a constitutional guarantee, but it is noted by most in government that some restrictions must be put in place for the good of the people. It is up to each of the thirty individual states to decide how tight their laws on what guns and accessories you may possess are.

[Oneracon]

The main laws regarding guns in Oneracon are the Private Weapon Restriction Act, the Weapon Control Act, and the Dangerous Sports Act.

Ownership of firearms designed exclusively to kill/injure other people (handguns, assault rifles, etc.) by the general public are banned completely under the Private Weapon Restriction Act. All persons in violation of PWRA are subject to strong financial and criminal penalties.

Ownership of firearms used for hunting are regulated under the Weapon Control Act. All hunting firearms must be registered with the Ministry of Public Safety, and all of such firearms must be stored in secure WCA-compliant containers by their owner.

Ownership of firearms used for non-hunting sport, such as Olympic shooting, are regulated under the Dangerous Sports Act and are a joint responsibility of the Ministry of Public Safety and the Office of the Deputy Minister for Sport (Ministry of Health). Such weapons are required to be stored in sport facilities and feature a "nullification charge"; a small explosive that damages a key part of the firing mechanism should the weapon be taken outside of the facility, rendering it unusable.

Strict weapon regulations are a centrepiece of the government's anti-crime programs, and are partly responsible for why crime is totally unknown in the Kingdom of Oneracon.

[Benomia]

As there are no laws, there are no gun laws.

[Trezchoix]

Right to bear arms is a very important issue in which all citizens are encouraged to own a rifle. We model our system like Schweiz ( Switzerland ) there is a conscript army and all males and females must do 1 year of service upon the finishing of service they keep the rifle. Unlike Schweiz ( Switzerland ) everyone may purchase a fully automatic weapon with out a license so long as they don't have a criminal record. Gun registry is illegal in our nation during out last war ( The Great African War ) we took control of nearly 11 tons of Ak-47 variants and other arms than I can list. We currently inspect each weapon for safety and then sell them to private bidders. In Trezchoxian society gun control is looked down upon and nations that ban firearms are looked down upon by both the government and people.

[Torsiedelle]

Gun control is very loose.

As determined in the constitution of the Confederacy, the right to own a firearm, or any other weapon, is an inalienable human right, and most guns are sold freely, and so is ammunition. However, for certain types of guns, such as some handguns, high-caliber weapons, and Assault Rifles, licenses are required.

In some provinces, who determine their own laws, Gun ownership is compulsory, and all citizens are taught firearm safety, maintenance, and handling.

[Vostag]

All citizens are required to own firearms but firearms must be registered with the government and all citizens are required to have a concealed carry permit. All citizens are trained with firearms due to their being taken directly after birth by the government and trained to be soldiers. But all citizens are required to be evaluated psychologically. Weapons have a special place in every Vostagian's heart.

[Saurisisia]

There are no registries. The only law is that if you have a criminal past, then you'd have to have a permit to acquire a gun. Beyond that, we have no Gun Laws. At all. Indeed, it is unconstitutional for the government to impose any sort of restriction beyond the minimum and many view any more gun laws than the bare minimum to be outright statist tyranny.

Of course, it is recommended that one must learn about gun safety and how to properly handle a firearm prior to purchasing one. Any attempts to impose any further restrictions is likely to lead to a mass (if peaceful) revolt.

[Annihilataria]

We absolutely have gun control. The gun controls whoever's holding it.

[Republic of South Carolina]

16 to purchase Shotguns, Bolt-Action Rifles, and Semi-Automatic Rifles. 18 to purchase Handguns. 21 to purchase Selective Fire Weapons and Destructive Devices. 18 to purchase a concealed weapons permits and carry concealed. Every Household by Law is required to have one Handgun and one Semi-Automatic Rifle with at least 300 rounds of ammunition stocked.

[Cameroi]

all guns in cameroi, must be under the control of sapient living persons at all times.

(they also may not be bought, sold, mass produced or imported in mass quantity.
like all things in cameroi however, anyone my posses anything they can make themselves,
provided they do not as an individual, willfully cause needless harm with them)

[Estainia]

Private ownership of firearms in the Empire is illegal under Imperial Law.

So suffice to say, we keep a tight grip on gun control.

Regardless of this however, do not make the mistake of thinking Imperials are 'oppressed' before the State or 'defenseless', we assure you that people who have the ability to set buildings on fire with a hard stare are by no means defenseless merely because they lack primitive gunpowder implements.

[Jukraina]

Guns are banned. Only military and police force have guns.

[Malfyria]

All weapons are open to absolutely anybody without any sort of register.

[Aquafireland]

In Aquafireland, we do have strict gun control but we are one of the highest gun manufacturers in the region.

[Majorian]

We have no gun control whatsoever.

[Zokoria]

There are no registries. The only law is that if you have a criminal past, then you'd have to have a permit to acquire a gun. Beyond that, we have no Gun Laws. At all. Indeed, it is unconstitutional for the government to impose any sort of restriction beyond the minimum and many view any more gun laws than the bare minimum to be outright statist tyranny.

Of course, it is recommended that one must learn about gun safety and how to properly handle a firearm prior to purchasing one. Any attempts to impose any further restrictions is likely to lead to a mass (if peaceful) revolt.

^ This, although in a few cities, there are some gun control policies, though they are rarely enforced, if ever.
