Only the military and police are allowed access to guns.
Welcome to 1938.

I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished for ever.

Are Guns allowed in your nation? Foreign? Regulation on the types that can be owned?
All guns are allowed. The only restricted weapons are Weapons of Mass Destruction like nuclear weapons and biological agents.
Is there Gun Registration in your nation? If so, please explain.
Nope.
Can guns be carried concealed? Without a permit? If so, what types? Are there any types that cannot?
They can b carried concealed without a permit.
What are the laws for private sale of guns?
The private sale of guns is totally unregulated. Although technically it is illegal for people of some criminal backgrounds to own firearms, there is not proactive enforcement. Generally that law is only enforced to punish the salesperson after a person who isn't supposed to have a gun is found to have a gun.

No. Nuclear weapons are so expensive in the Technocracy, only responsible citizens can purchase them. Considering these "responsible citizens" also have the funds to purchase small private armies and the technicians required to operate a nuclear missile, they are generally only corporate board members and chairmen. You might have a wealthy collector or two purchase one.

Since nuclear weapons require registry with the government, which also costs a fair bit of change, you're unlikely to see your average layman having a few laying in his backyard on blocks.

Of course they're allowed! We're sapient & sentient war machines! As for regulation...there is a minimum requirement for weapon strength. Anything above that is legally fine.

It is noted, though, that having a fusion cannon will be seen as an intent to challenge Megatron. He will accept that challenge and 'show you' the capabilities of his own fusion cannon - by firing it at you. It is wise to take that into consideration when deciding on your weapon design.

Is there Gun Registration in your nation? If so, please explain.
Not in the way most think of it. Newly-built Decepticons tend to be registered with the local military office as part of our "ongoing" census. Each one of those Decepticons has 2 blasters attached or 1 big blaster, so if you count the Decepticons, you pretty much know how many weapons the planet is bristling with.

Can guns be carried concealed? Without a permit? If so, what types? Are there any types that cannot?
They...can...but no proper Decepticon would hide his blasters and lose that intimidation factor!!

What are the laws for private sale of guns?

-Yes, all guns can be carried concealed. There are some areas where you cannot bring them in, such as in bars and government buildings.
What are the laws for private sale of guns?
-It is illegal for a person to sell another person a gun. They can only sell to a licensed dealer or to the government.

Yes. Why would we tamper with perfection by adding foreign weapons? Rifles and pistols may be owned, because we don't have any others.

Is there Gun Registration in your nation? If so, please explain.
No.

Can guns be carried concealed? Without a permit? If so, what types? Are there any types that cannot?
Thanatophians would not carry their weapons concealed even if they physically could. The smallest pulse pistol is still a boxy, unwieldy thing and would be akin to concealing a large brick somewhere on one's person. Open or "holster" carry is permitted and common. No permit is required, but carrying a pulse rifle on one's back would be seen as idiotic and is discouraged.

What are the laws for private sale of guns?
Private gun merchants typically focus on expensive ceremonial pieces, and are not viewed as a significant threat.

Only the military, police and some people government employees are allowed to possess weapons. It's extremely controlled, importing or exporting any type of firearm, weapons designed for assault or related objects can be met with execution.

3 groups of people may own shooting weapons:

  1. Police and Military of course may use all weapons. Police is allowed to hide them. These groups of people may not carry them around while off duty, or keep them at home.
  2. People living in areas with dangerous wild animals. They may only own hunting weapons, need a permit (includes test of character as well as training for safe weapon useage), need to register their weapons, and may not own more than two weapons at a time.
  3. State employed hunters. These may not keep their hunting weapon at home unless they also belong to the previous group.

Where hunting weapon translates long gun, simple steel bullets, no high speed bullets, and of course nothing automatic either.

Private hunting is not allowed, because of the danger to shoot people, unless you dwell in real wild areas far from civilization and need to hunt to have something to eat.
