Until about 30 years ago, there were no laws on the books whatsoever on weapon ownership, other than mandating ownership of a firearm and a knife or short sword for members of the militia. Then, a law was passed banning nuclear weapons for non-military use, and requiring a permit for weaponizable biological, radiological, or chemical agents, and some types of high explosive.

There are pretty much no laws regarding gun ownership, unless of course the gun shoots bullets containing depleted-uranium, a biological agent, or something similar. This includes things like gatlings and and smaller-caliber artillery, by the way, not just pistols, rifles, assault rifles, or shotguns.

using a gun is not a right, it is a privilege in Kwunjin. That being said, a Kwunjinian normal civilian is not allowed to own guns. Recreational shooting ranges are funded by the police department to private businessmen. Hunting is only legal in designated Area, for example, the King's Island is a popular recreational hunting resort.

"When you become an adult you can buy either a semi automatic pistol or a hunting rifle, providing you pass all the FBI checks, if you have a clean record you will be given the firearm no problem. Gun store owners may deny a customer a firearm if they have reason to suspect the customer is going to use it to commit a crime despite passing the FBI checks. Anybody who comes in intoxicated or not in a right frame of mind will also be denied."

Weapons of all kinds are completely nonexistent among the civilian population of Airstrip Sixteen to prevent an uprising, no matter how unlikely. The military is armed, but all weapons are repossessed from soldiers upon their return to civilian life.

Due to security reasons, all the type of guns are banned for the public unless they get a special permission directly from the dictator or they are member of a police force, national army, regional army.

Guns are very dangerous machinery, so they're banned for the public safety. We don't have a gun culture in Van Rose, only the police and some organize crimes have guns. Organized crimes are almost non existent in Van Rose. It may sounds scary that only organized criminals and police have guns, but it's not. We're a Future Time nation and our socioeconomic background create a very safe society. In modern times, there are many low crime society that ban guns too, for example, singapore, japan, hong kong..

The general populace is not allowed to own guns.

Altough some individuals are, shopkeepers are allowed to own a small fire arm for protection.

On May 9, 2010 the Royal Legislature voted to enact a concealed carry law.

In typical Maraquean Royal Legislature fashion, they forgot to vote to legalize firearms. So Maraqueans can now conceal their illegal firearms.

The King and President Pro Tempore simultaneously facepalmed when they heard of the news.

Every citizen has the right to own a weapon provided they are competent in its use and do not have a criminal record.
We believe in open carry and weapons must be clearly visible at all times if they are carried, businesses may request that weapons not be brought onto the premises and a strong room must be available with a security guard to hold the weapons whilst their owners are inside that business.
Guns may only be used by civilians for self-defense , target shooting or hunting.
Civilian gunsmiths are allowed to obtain a special permit to service, build or repair police and military weapons.

The weapons available to civilians are restricted to hunting rifles and pistols of normal size.
The police carry millitary grade pistols and SMGs (laser & slug types) as well as a variety of less than lethal weapons such as sonic weapons and laser dazzlers. Off duty police are required to carry at least a pistol with them at all times and are required to act if they see a crime being committed.
On duty police officers can carry a concealed weapon with permission from a superintendant or better.

The military has no restrictions and can have any weapon that we can build or buy. Off duty military personnel are required to carry at least a pistol with them at all times.

All guns are registered and implanted with microchip to recover them if lost or stolen. If said microchip falls out or is removed then the gun ceases it's primary function.

All citizens can have guns but high caliber and high specification guns are restricted to military and above.

However, citizens with a history of violence or criminal activity are banned from gun use.

Weapon ownership is mostly unrestricted. People who have criminal histories, especially violent criminals, may have a hard time getting a gun, and people with mental problems may also be restricted from weapons ownership. Aside from that, there are no laws on the book and our constitution guarantees unrestricted access for sane, law-abiding people to weapons.

All people are allowed to own a gun, provided that they are over the age of 16 and register it with the police. All members of the armed forces, past or present are required to keep a personal firearm.
