Gun Control Laws in your nation

[Ramsetia]

How...communist and tyrannical.

*glares*

Glare all you like. A mean look isn't going to change our legislation.

[Sebytania]

Citizens over the age of 18 may file for a lisence. Generally this requires a continued hobby (one may use firearms at a range when 16 with parental consent). Civilians may, according to their lisence, acquire pistols/revolvers or shotguns/rifles. All weapons must be single-action or semi-automatic. Full autos are not permitted to civilians, however police and military officials may purchase them. Lisences are granted case-by-case, and various factors are considered (previous hobby, possible criminal record, mental illnesses etc.)

All weapons must be registered.

A law exists allowing concealed carry with a permit, but it must be rationalized well. In practice these permits are never granted. Without one, the possession of a firearm in public places without valid reason (such as transport) is illegal. During transport, it must not be visible.

That's what the law says. In practice, the black market flourishes and organized crime families often negotiate with assault rifles and frag grenades. Normal people generally do not carry firearms, however, especially with other self-defence methods such as pepper spray being fully legal to those over the age of 18.

[Novus Niciae]

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.

If you let a nuke into the hands of someone who has not been trained to operate one safely it is not a matter of if there will be an accident but when there will be an accident. and the consequences of such an accident could be dire (such as accidentally blowing up a city). not to mention that a psychopath could kill millions or billions of people with the push of a button. And there is no conceivable reason for a civilian to own a nuke. At least limiting civilians to weapons that they can actually carry unassisted limits the harm to a few dozen people at the most if they have an accident with it or go on a rampage.

[Kreanoltha]

As an added bonus, to what extent can areas and department divisions deviate from Gun Control laws of nation, if at all?

Well considering that there are no restrictions, no they can't.

Is Gun Ownership a right, a privilege,or is not owning one a privilege?

Not owning a gun is a privilege, and not one that most Kreanolthans exercise. Almost all Kreanolthans own a heavy pistol and some sort of select fire or fully auto rifle.

[TurtleShroom]

Are Guns allowed in your nation? Foreign? Regulation on the types that can be owned? - Yes, and the right to keep and bear arms in guarenteed by statute. See this.

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

Can guns be carried concealed? Without a permit? If so, what types? Are there any types that cannot? - any gun that can be lawfully purchased can also lawfully be concealed, assuming, of course, they can conceal it (double barelled shotguns, for example, can only be concealed either by robes or with a trained expert that knows precisely how to hide it without being noticed, so people don't usually carry those).

What are the laws for private sale of guns? - See Question One. Most guns are available for sale in gun shows, arms shops, etc., but there are certain items that are too dangerous for civillians to own. An ID will be asked for; you must be a legal adult to purchase guns. See this.

Other: the most popular concealed weapons in TurtleShroom are pistols, revolvers, and tasers. As a largely Christian nation, some younger TurtleShroomers prefer "humane" weapons, like tasers, that can protect them without killing a fellow creature. The most popular weapon in TurtleShroom is the doubled-barreled shotgun, which is also standard issue for the military (along with novelty weapons and explosives that civillians can't own).

[Kahanistan]

In Kahanistan, we don't have gun control like in your country. We don't have that in our country. In Kahanistan, we do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who has told you that we have it.

[Snifkowoland]

Yes, all sort of guns are allowed on Snifkowoland territory.

Is there Gun Registration in your nation? If so, please explain.
No - the offcial stance of government is that would serve no purpose.

Can guns be carried concealed? Without a permit? If so, what types? Are there any types that cannot?
Yes, without a permit, all of them - of course one can forbid guns on ones private property, but in public pretty much everywhere (but you can't bring your guns if you are on tourist tour on Royal Palace or Parliament Building)

What are the laws for private sale of guns?
One can freely sell guns to any other citizens.

[Fatatatutti]

Wouldn't that be a handy super-power, though?

So...

Who has enough money to buy a nuclear weapon?

Yeah. Also, nuclear weapons require very, very, VERY special requirements (including >4000 F temperature and Mach 30+ travel) before detonation. You don't "push a button". I've raged about this before.

[Mid Lothian]

I won't bother filling out the questionaire. That's because, with a few exceptions, guns are banned in ML. And those that are allowed to have firearms - the police, armed forces and sport shooters - have to fill out two forms, have an enhanced CRB (Criminal Record Bureau)*, attend regular councilling sessions and have to leave the firearms at a secured lock-up. If they are committed of a crime, they are stripped of their right to access handguns.

* - If anything untoward is found, they're denied access.

Meh. Too easily abused. Plus, the Law of Equal Opposition would cause there to be a rival politician who could undo your work simply by smiling nicely at people.

The only guns that are used privately (and thus need to be registered) are those which are used by private security companies, and even then they are restricted to handguns.
