Are citizens in your nation allowed to bear arms?

[Legolannd]

Are the citizens of your nation allowed to keep and bear arms, or any weapons?

Legolannd allows people to bear any kind of weapon, and there are almost no restrictions on gun ownership.

To buy a gun, one must submit a drivers license. If one has been to prison, their PO must confirm they are not dangerous.

[Zhouran]

Since late 1861, Zhouran has a gun culture that is influenced by the nation's passionate and intense warrior culture, which was created in 7 BC during the birth of the Silin Dynasty, as well as the long tradition of militarism in the nation and the long-standing practice of keeping weapons at home in order to be armed, well-trained and prepared. Firearms are owned for purposes including self-defense, hunting, sport, collecting, and military purposes. Sport-shooting and hunting are popular activities for both gun-owners and non-gun-owners in Zhouran.

Thanks to this strong gun culture that is deep-rooted into the Zhouranese warrior culture, there are about 97.5 guns per 100 residents in Zhouran as of 2020. As a result, the country has one of the highest civilian gun ownership in the world, only second to that of the US. However, in the US, an overwhelming majority of civilian-owned firearms are unregistered firearms and are mainly civilian-oriented in nature. In comparison, every single civilian-owned firearms in Zhouran are fully-registered and are military-grade semi-automatic and fully-automatic firearms, the same firearms used by the Zhouranese People's Army and National Patriotic Guards. An estimate of approximately 278,343,000 firearms are in legal civilian possession in Zhouran, as a result the country has the world's second-highest number of firearms in civilian hands. Meanwhile the Zhouranese People's Army owns an estimate of around 106,500,000 firearms, the largest military-owned stockpile of firearms in the world. The massive number of firearms in Zhouran contributes to the stereotypical image of the hyper-militaristic warmongering barbaric Zhouranese.

With the country having a powerful highly-experienced battle-hardened military that is numerically large and technologically advanced, backed by a massive well-equipped paramilitary force that is capable of rivaling foreign militaries despite being a militia, Zhouran is considered to be the world's most heavily-militarized nation. This extremely-high level of militarization in Zhouran is all due to being a several-millennia-old stratocratic civilization with a highly-impassioned warrior culture and fervid martial-ethos. Around 96% of people in the nation are willing to fight and go to war for their country, the highest out of any nation. Thanks to the martial identity of the Kangyuli Zhouranese, civilian gun-owners in the country own military-grade firearms ranging from something as small as the Type 81 .357 Magnum revolver or Type 85 9×19mm pistol to a Type 01-100 7.62×39mm assault rifle or Type 95-100 5.45×39mm assault rifle and all the way to something as big as weapons such as the Type 89-100 12.7×108mm heavy machine gun or Type 85-200 14.5×114mm heavy machine gun. Any weapon that has a caliber above heavy machine gun caliber is considered a cannon and since cannons fire explosive shells and not bullets, those are regarded as explosives and therefore banned for civilian ownership.

Unlike the civilian gun-owners of other nations including the US, any Zhouranese civilian gun-owners that are not serving or have already served in either the ZPA or NPG are also skilled in professionally-handling military-grade firearms. Shooting ranges are very common across the country, with many of the firearms instructors serving or having served in the ZPA or NPG. Not only that, Zhouranese National Military Sports Associations are found in many towns and cities across the nation, teaching essential combat techniques and offering military training by providing a 73-day long course that teaches citizens over the age of 15 combat techniques and weapons training. As a result, Zhouranese civilian gun-owners are considered to be the most skilled compared to foreign counterparts, and this also includes civilian gun-owners in Zhouran who have not yet served in the ZPA or NPG but still own firearms.

A military analyst from the National Institute of Military Science in Ouyang once jokingly said to Senior Marshal Kang Yingyong: "Sir, while civilian gun-owners in the US are too busy flexing their plastic AR-15s or firing their MAC-10s at innocent bystanders, our civilian gun-owners here are too busy preparing for any potential world war that might never even happen in our lifetime", to which Kang replied "don't be surprised when every single tree inside an impenetrable fortress grows weapons instead of fruits".

[Eigenland]

Eigenländer do not believe in this idea of being allowed to do something, as there is nothing actual preventing them from doing so. Thus, Eigenländer willing to bear arms do so without fear of reprisal by some fictional entity.

[Tinhampton]

Yes, and vehemently so.

[Zhongshanville]

My nation allows people to bear arms in two ways. One way is to grow shag carpeting on your arms, while the other is owning firearms. These two things must be done together. Failure to do so is illegal.

[Interstellar America]

Not anymore. That privilege was rescinded due to the Second American Civil War, over which it was a contributing factor to the start of.

[Auzkhia]

Citizens owning firearms is legal, there are safety regulations and licenses. The right of gun ownership is not constitutionally guaranteed, though some propose it, however, most people who usually own them are avid hunters and sport shooters. Though the idea of citizen militias has gained some support, even so the weapons are collectively owned rather than privately owned.

[Champagne Socialist Sharifistan]

-Someone must not have been convicted of rape, murder, attempted murder etc.or sexual abuse of a child under 13.

-must not be on the sex offenders’ register.

-license must be signed by a police officer of the rank of Inspector or above.

[Royaltonn]

All Royaltonnians are allowed to freeley bare arms.

[Glenoria]

In fact, male citizens who have done National Service are required to do so. The service rifle (and pistol where applicable) is taken home and kept by the individual soldier when he leaves active duty. Female volunteers are likewise so required when they pass into the reserves.

Beyond this, ownership of firearms is scarcely restricted in any way.

[ImperialRussia]

Yes against hostile nations in case of invasion

[Andocara]

While firearms are legal in Andocara, it isn’t a constitutional right. You can own a gun, but to do that you have to pass a background check, to see if you have a history or a mental illness. Guns are mainly used for hunting and for recreational sport. Guns in Andocara are also very expensive in major cities. Small basic pistols could cost up to AN$1000.

i gotta ask (i'm very interested) is selling ammo a crime? if so how do the citizens practice?

[Greifenburg]

In Greifenburg, you're allowed to own a gun after a background check. The gun has to be registered, and there are strict regulations regarding safe storageing.

Damn. I love it. Tell me, what's it like in your society?

[Legolannd]

I love this.

[Blodrike]

There are no laws or crimes in Blodrike except for treason (attempting to kill/harm/overthrow the Queen, or aiding a foreign enemy). So you guessed it, gun ownership is completely unregulated. Despite that, unprovoked shootings are extremely rare because vampires are not aggressive by nature.

[Notrumbia]

In Notrumbia, there is no specific law on possession and to bear fire guns, there are some rules for citizens who want to purchase a weapon or carry any type of guns. In general, firearms are allowed as long as the citizen is over 23 years old and has passed through the army and no passage through the police, in addition to passing various examinations, exercises and mental, only 4 weapons are allowed per citizen as authorized for the self-defense and for sporting purposes such as hunting and shooting sports. As the guns allowed for civilians are less than 10.0, manufactured by notrumbian companies and which receive manufacturing weights and security measures, and therefore are not allowed for civilians, only for collectors who in turn are not allowed to use bullets for that kind of weapon. Since 02/09/2020 military tanks and more powerful guns are also allowed for collectors using a commitment term of commitment not to use these guns by the civilian they select for it. Bladed guns are generally permitted for peaceful fins and for collectors, that is, the type of guns for self-defense is permitted in accordance with Act 83-2049 / 2011.
Several laws related to the possession and to bear of guns are under analysis by parliament that should be used by King Emmet II by the end of this year.

HELL YEA BROTHER

KKONA

[Country of CityTowne]

Every Citytownian has the right to bear arms, though they do not have the privilege of unlimited resource. Each Citytownian is allowed only what they need to work at maximum optimisation with risk of casualty minimised live the best they can. In the most dangerous CCTCorp allocated professions, the most anybody (outside of military) would need is a common handgun and even then it's pushing it.

After all, if everybody lives to work, who would possibly require something potentially controversial?

[Suburbistanistan]

Gun ownership is mandatory, as in everyone of and above majority age should have at least one firearm. It can be as weak or as powerful as you want, but since there is also conscription, it is commonplace for citizens to take one service weapon home, which is how most people get their first gun. There is an exception to the draft for farm workers, and they also typically inherit hunting arms.
Regular gun purchases require a very basic background check, but machine guns and explosive weapons require going through a more extensive background check.
It should be noted that there is a grace period from their 18th birthday to the end of the conscription term to allow adults to obtain a weapon.
There are classes in firearms training and safety in high school and college. These classes, and non-school affiliated firearms training classes also have an emphasis on collective defense and collective freedom. In a bugout situation, your most important resource is friends, not to mention that the working class must be armed and organized to protect the gains of the revolution.
