Gun ownership is compulsory in Angvar and is guaranteed in the Fundamental Laws of the Empire, as part of its national policy of militarization in all aspects of life.

Guns aren't really restricted. Sure, heavy weapons like miniguns, tanks, and bazookas are, but I think that should be pretty obvious as to why. Otherwise, besides the standard background check, getting a gun in the Republic of fairly easy!

Under the nation's laws the sale of arms is restricted to legal adults, although children can own guns if they are gifted to them by family members. Citizens have the right to own almost all forms of weapons unless they have been charged with particularly violent crimes.

Under Inner Albania's laws, owning a gun requires a permit, and to get a permit, it requires a good reason (like sport shooting or self-defense).

Federation of the Aituia wrote:According to my Gun Law Act. or Article A-3, Some in Aituia is allowed to posses a firearm like the Military and Police. Civilians under 21 are not allowed to buy guns. Shooting a gun while being a civilian is also illegal, it would give you 3 years in jail, even if it was not intentional. Gun ranges are also banned, since a 'bad citizen' may develop good shooting skills.

You need a licence which is very hard to get. You need a genuine reason to own a gun. 'I want to protect myself' is not a valid reason. A valid reason would be if someone worked in pest control or was a farmer. Average citizens don't need guns as the police does a good job protecting them.

Firearms in Beaufort are heavily regulated, with the first nationwide small-arms prohibition act being passed in 1894.

Today, applying for a firearms permit is difficult. You first have to have no prior felony charges standing in the last 5 years, and also must undertake physical and metal evaluations. An applicant is also required to have been certified in using the type of firearm and ammunition they are are applying for. After fufilling these initial requirements, you are interviewed by the National Firearms and Narcotics Enforcement Agency (NFNEA), and a thorough background check is conducted.

After all this, you are granted a licence that must be renewed every 2 years, for a specific weapon-type and caliber.

Even then, there's only a few dozen types of firearms that one can carry, including, mainly:
-Bolt Action Rifles
-Double-Barreled shotguns
-Lever-Action and Breechloaders
-Black powder muskets and rifles
Chambered in either .22 or 12 Gauge (Sometimes Birdshot and Snakeshot is also permitted).

Unlicenced possession of a firearm is a National Offence and can carry up to a minimum of 20 years in prison and a $16,000 fine. It is also an offense to attempt to import a firearm without a certificate from Customs and Revenue Department will result in a minimum of 8 years and a $12,000 fine.

Weirdly enough, Firearms regulations for civilian use is extensive in the HGS except smoothbores.
Civilians may own unconcealable smoothbore firearms (Small arms that does not have a rifled barrel such as a homemade hunting shotgun) due to a loophole in the small-arms law.
Civilians are prohibited from owning a rifle and and any conceal-carry weapons without the permission of the Corporate Police Force. To obtain the rights to bear a firearm you must also have a good reason (self-defense is not accepted as a reason, unless if you are a high-profile individual or in an area with a dangerous wildlife) and engage in training. This license will cost you twice the firearm's price per year and is only active for 5 years and the ammunition and the firearm itself must be stored in 2 different concealed place as to not have it stolen and misused by burglars or family members. The weapons allowed (from easiest to hardest to obtain) are:
>Manually-operated rifles (bolt action)
>hunting rifle
>Semi-automatic rifles
>Semi-Automatic pistols

Fully-automatic firearms and other firearms not listed above are PROHIBITED and are only available to the armed forces on duty.

Guns in Barinive are COMPLETELY legal, except that you have to do some psychological testing (roughly 5 minutes long) and have no criminal record. But if murder is attempted with it, it will be retaken. There is also a formal "Stand your ground" law, protecting the citizen's right to self defense. Having an AFV or IFV is legal if you abide by traffic laws. (Minimum age to own a weapon: 18)
