Gun Control Laws in your nation

[Seperate Vermont]

As an added bonus, to what extent can areas and department divisions deviate from Gun Control laws of nation, if at all? Is Gun Ownsership a right, a privledge,or is not owning one a privledge?

[Ang Philippines]

After you get your permit (Including gun safety test, fee, and psychological evaluation), anything not utilizing explosives or jet engines is pretty much legal. Concealed and unconcealed carry are treated in the same manner.

Until this point... you had so much of my respect. You hath ruined it

Well, considering how most of their nation is urban (like Maraque, though can you blame them, they're on an island for crying out loud), we can see why they're so strict.

We are a cluster of islands with many large urban sprawls we still have very relaxed with gun laws

[Conserative Morality]

As an added bonus, to what extent can areas and department divisions deviate from Gun Control laws of nation, if at all? Is Gun Ownsership a right, a privledge,or is not owning one a privledge?

None. It's all at the national level. Privilege.

Are Guns allowed in your nation? Foreign? Regulation on the types that can be owned?

Guns are allowed, as stated below.

Amendment 2

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, but no person ideologically or otherwise conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service in person.

Is there Gun Registration in your nation? If so, please explain.
Handguns and "Assault weapons" must be registered, assault weapons being defined as both genuine selective fire assault weapons (such as the M-4 or AK), modified semi-auto only versions of these weapons (such as the semi-auto AR-15), as well as any weapon, rifle or otherwise, that has fully automatic and/or burst fire capability (such an Uzi). However, some individual jurisdictions restrict "assault weapons". For example, automatic and burst weapons are restricted to the home in Los Místicos (you can't transport them unless they are locked up). In the capital city of Olivia, assault weapons can be owned and kept but they must be put in a lock box and can not be used within city limits except for designated firing ranges. The exception to this is if one is in imminent danger in their own home, such as if for some reason a group of armed thugs invaded one's flat. "Bump fire" devices are legal where auto/burst weapons are legal. In Olivia the law with bump fire devices is the same as the law with assault weapons.

Can guns be carried concealed? Without a permit? If so, what types? Are there any types that cannot?
Guns can be carried concealed, but you must have a license. Handguns can be carried concealed but long guns, assault weapons, and automatic/burst weapons cannot. So you can get a permit to be strapped with your Glock 23 but you can't carry a concealed Uzi. Guns such as shotguns can be carried openly in rural areas, but you cannot wield them on the streets of your town or neighborhood. Any weapon can be carried, concealed or open, with or without a license, on one's own property or on other private property with the owner's permission.

What are the laws for private sale of guns?
Both parties (seller and buyer) must be licensed with the seller having proof of how they acquired the firearm in the first place.

[Saurisia]

Pft, here's something that's time saving: There are almost no gun control laws here, just a few regulations mostly targeting Humans.

So, you can basically get any weapon short of an explosive, artillery piece, rocket, or grenade.

Tyrants!

In Nicksyllvania you can buy any weapon you find, including explosives, artillery, tanks, SAMs, and nuclear missile silos. In fact 80% of Nicksyllvanian ICBMs are privatised (Relax, we made sure to make it so they cannot target Nicksyllvania, without hacking it at least which is rather hard with vaccuum tubes)

Well, considering we're a futuristic nation, it would be stupid for us to legalize weaponry like the one you just mentioned, really, would you trust walkers, tanks, or missile launchers in the hands of individuals like this:




I think not.

[Lenirea]

Lenirean can buy any weapons, provided that they can get through the State Gun Bureau which is a lengthy process that will take around 6 months to get a gun(3 months if you're a military personnel). If they want to get guns from the black market, it is very impossible because the People's Secret Police is always on watch.

[Rus-Alla]

Rus-Alla civilians carry the weapons they had when they were in the military:

Facebuster shot-pistol
Thunderhammer .50 pistol (officers/specops only)
Odin's Eye assault rifle
Foehammer assault carbine

Ancestral Close Combat Weapons

Special heavy weapons acquired in the military, such as missile launchers, are disallowed on the streets.

[Wangatengki]

Every Wangatengkian shall be guaranteed the right to keep and bear arms deemed reasonable to the defence of one’s person, property, and community against crime, invasion, and unjust oppression.

The National Court has ruled that this Article allows pretty much everything except automatic weapons and military-grade explosives (grenades, landmines, rocket launchers, etc.)
If citizens really want to play with automatic weapons and explosives, they can join their local militia, no big deal.

[West Ponente]

What on earth is a gun control law?

Well, considering we're a futuristic nation, it would be stupid for us to legalize weaponry like the one you just mentioned, really, would you trust walkers, tanks, or missile launchers in the hands of individuals like this:



I think not.

Littlefoot's mom is a saint. If she had had access to those weapons thing may have turned out better.

[Techno-Soviet]

Are Guns allowed in your nation? Foreign? Regulation on the types that can be owned?

Gun ownership is a sovereign right and protected by law. There is literally no regulation on what can be owned, only financial.

Is there Gun Registration in your nation? If so, please explain.

Only for nuclear weapons, although realistically there is none.

Can guns be carried concealed? Without a permit? If so, what types? Are there any types that cannot?

Yes, yes, and all types. Even collapsible assault rifles and PDWs.

What are the laws for private sale of guns?

There are none, excepting that you must be able to fulfill the contract.

[Zirconim]

Anyone over 11 can own a gun.

[Guanzhong]

Are Guns allowed in your nation? Foreign? Regulation on the types that can be owned?
Firearms are technically not permitted in Guanzhong, however there are many people in "Community Millitias" who may have basic bolt-action rifles or SKS type surplus military rifles. As these individuals are unlikely to be called into action, they effectively are civilian gun owners.

Is there Gun Registration in your nation? If so, please explain.
All guns, being military issues, are registered upon issuance. An individual must meet all of the requirements for militia service in order to qualify and be issued a firearm.

Can guns be carried concealed? Without a permit? If so, what types? Are there any types that cannot?
No

What are the laws for private sale of guns?
Private sale is illegal.

[Kreanoltha]

Okay, I'll just keep it simple. There are no restrictions what so ever on this. A foreign felon can go buy a Zeus class battleship, a wing of fighters, and enough plasma rifles and grenades to fight a small war and we won't bat an eye.

[NS Limbaugh Island]

In Nicksyllvania you can buy any weapon you find, including explosives, artillery, tanks, SAMs, and nuclear missile silos.

You can own a tank in the United States.

With a concrete barrel and rubber tracks...

In Soviet Technocracy, police officers use main battle tanks, and civilians can own nuclear missiles.

Not in the USLI, actually. It's all the original steel, my friend.

Seems like a terrible waste of police resources... Adrian Police may have to deal with criminals that can carry rocket launchers legally, but a rocket launcher is an absolutely idiotic weapon to rob a bank with, especially when everyone in said bank will have some form of personal firearm. In practice if there is a situation the police actually have to respond to, they will call the Army. For the most part the police are on beat or investigating.

In Soviet Technocracy, Police are the Army!

Or at least militia. They function as a reservist unit in times of war, and are usually enough well supplied to conduct limited conventional warfare against invaders.

[Wallenbergia]

Are Guns allowed in your nation? Foreign? Regulation on the types that can be owned?
All able-bodied citizens are conscripted into the military at age 19, and serve until their 22 birthday. After their conscription is up, they return home, with their service pistol, and rifle. Foreign 'trophy' weapons obtained during a citizen's military service, are commonly kept as well as their service weapons. Any, and all firearms are legal to own. This includes pistols, machine pistols, rifles, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, sub-machine guns, etc. The guards of Wallenbergia are also issued a rifle, and pistol, which they keep along with their other firearms.

Is there Gun Registration in your nation? If so, please explain.
All guns are required to be registered so that non-lethal, rubber ammunition may be provided by the government for use during military exercises that take place every 4 months, and live rounds may be provided for defense of every home, whether it be used during war-time, or for protection from a burglar.

Can guns be carried concealed? Without a permit? If so, what types? Are there any types that cannot?
If it is concealable, a citizen may conceal it.

They are separated into classes depending on feed mechanism and ammunition type, and all weapons legally imported or built within ramsetia have a tracking unit installed to a non-removable part of the weapon by ProtDep Ordinators.

Class A/c: Concealed carry handguns, snubnoses and similar.
Class A/h: Hunting pistols, other pistols of calibre higher than .45 (for sake of clarity, .44 magnum, and .44-40 Cor-Bon are included in this class.)

Before anybody may purchase a firearm, they must first obtain a firearms license, which involves an exhaustive gun operation, safety, and maintenance course on par with most nation's police forces, along with the standard background and psychological checks. These licenses can and will be revoked if firearms are not stored and used in a safe manner, or are connected to illegal activities. Once revoked, they cannot be re-obtained, and it is illegal to own firearms without them.

Is there Gun Registration in your nation? If so, please explain.
Yes. All guns imported, privately or commercially, and any firearm built within Ramsetia is registered on a database of firearms, and implanted with a tracking chip to ensure it's location is known. Any non-registered weapon may be voluntarily brought in for destruction or registration. anybody found in possession of an unregistered firearm will be first warned, and if they do not take the weapon in for registration, they are then tasked with destroying the receiver with an overpowered round.

Can guns be carried concealed? Without a permit? If so, what types? Are there any types that cannot?
Firearms may be carried concealed, but it requires additional licensing and training in the safe handling of a concealed weapon. Only class A/c and B/c weapons may be legally carried concealed.

What are the laws for private sale of guns?
All sales must be first cleared with the local ProtDep Ordinator HQ, and must take place with an Ordinator in audience to ensure the legality of the sale. Sale of unregistered firearms, or sale of firearms to an unlicensed person can risk the operating license of a gun store, and can result in jail time for the cashier on staff.

All sales must take place in registered, licensed and purpose-built stores to be inspected twice yearly to maintain the standards for firearms licensing.
