Gun rights in your nation

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

Code: Select all

Are citizens in your nation allowed to own guns?
If they are allowed:
Is there a limit to what kind of guns can be purchased (For example, handguns are allowed but automatic guns are not)?
Is a gun license or something similar required before purchasing guns?
If not allowed:
Are law keeping forces allowed guns?
Is the military allowed guns?

In Umbra Ac Silentium, all citizens are allowed to own guns from the age of 15 and up. There is a gun license program, however it has few requirements and practically everybody passes (except for convicted criminals still in rehab). There are no restrictions on what guns are sold, unless there is reason to believe that the weapon itself is in some way highly unsafe, such as if the model backfires frequently.

[Saurisia]

Yes, the Military and Police carry guns (what are we, brain-dead idiots) and the only restriction for a civilian to get a firearm is for that person to not have a criminal record. That's it, a person can get a gun without many restrictions, cause we're free like that.

[Estainia]

There is no inherent 'Right to Arms' in the Russo-Spanish Empire. We learned our lesson when they decided to rebel in 45 and had more rifles than the Imperial Army did. Screw that; never again.

[Idaho Conservatives]

There are no restrictions based on arms whatsoever in the ARIC.

[Neblewerfer]

Owning a gun in Neblewerfer is like owning a car. Any one of any age above 13 may purchase a firearm in Neblewerfer. In fact it is encouraged that all citizens of age carry guns in public in order to discourage potential terrorist attacks. This also adds extra incentive for government officials to stay clean and to let alone individual rights. The range of firearms is only limited by what is classified as military standard. Neblewerfer doesn't want civilians running around with military grade weaponry, not because it is more deadly, but because we don't want it to be too easy to acquire for spies. However, military surplus is often sold to civilians after the military declares it obsolete. Because of this it is not uncommon to find citizens wielding surplus rocket launchers in public just for the lolz. The last and greatest benefit of this is that any country trying to invade Neblewerfer will find that every citizen is literally a soldier/freedom fighter and that occupation is impossible.

Permit-Exclusive.

Nope, from the range of firearms and naval-based, you get what you pay for.

Is a gun license or something similar required before purchasing guns?
An All-Inclusive, Flat Rate Permit.

Are law keeping forces allowed guns?
They are not issued weapons of any sort due to a lack of funding or belonging to private firms, but may purchase them via permit.

Is the military allowed guns?
All military organizations are privatized, so the same rules apply to them as those in law enforcement.

[Maraque]

Firearms will be unbanned in January, 2011. Registration, licensing, and classes will be required, and one will not be able to buy, sell, or re-sell to or from another person or entity except from licensed and registered gun shops. Import and export will also be prohibited.

[Vystercia-Nasucrea]

The new Constitution proclaims gun ownership and possession to be a sacred, undeniable, and irrevocable right. Gun control is considered inherently treasonous.

[Greater Rhodes]

Are citizens in your nation allowed to own guns?--No
Are law keeping forces allowed guns?--Yes, as well as some registered private security firms (although they are only allowed handguns)
Is the military allowed guns?--Yes

[Lackadaisical2]

The Sweetness of Lackadaisical would like to congratulate the Maraqueans on the impending increase in freedom. We'd like to present to your people an ornamental handgun and rifle set in honor of the occasion.

On an unrelated note, we'd like to inquire as to the nature of the origination of the guns which would be sold in your nation, perhaps Lackadaisiclan's arms companies would be allowed to participate in such trade?

[Lackadaisical2]

The new Constitution proclaims gun ownership and possession to be a sacred, undeniable, and irrevocable right. Gun control is considered inherently treasonous.

Lackadaisiclans would also like to congratulate you on your new Constitution which so fervently upholds the rights which are precious to us all, indeed, its quite similar to the Lackadaisiclan Constitution.

[The Siberian Arctic]

Are citizens in your nation allowed to own guns? Despite being a Communist state, the right to bare military grade firearms is a sacred right to The Siberian Arctic. This act is fundamental to the concept of maintaining a people led government, and preventing malicious dictators from gaining power.

If they are allowed:
Is there a limit to what kind of guns can be purchased (For example, handguns are allowed but automatic guns are not)? Everything is fine, short of nuclear, biological, and chemical arsenals. No rifled firearms with a 106mm bore diameter or larger. Fully automatic firearms are to be registered at purchase.

Is a gun license or something similar required before purchasing guns? Thorough background check for mental stability and violent history. If they pass, they can be sold the firearm without registration. Concealed Carrying citizens MUST pass a Concealed Carry Weapon Course and background check and keep their permit on them at all times if carrying. Open carry is legal (no permit required), but heavily looked down upon.



If not allowed: We're not a Fascist state.

Are law keeping forces allowed guns? Most certainly.

Is the military allowed guns? The best money can buy (AK-74M, AKs-74u, SVD 'Dragunov', RPK-74, AN-94 (Special Forces), AK-107 (Special Forces), Glock 20, Glock 17, and a varied assortment of heavy arsenals including mortars, howitzers, 12.7mm Mounted Automatic Rifles, Cannons, and a wide array of Anti-Armour equipment.



NOTES: All weapons are produced within the borders of The Siberian Arctic by public arms manufacturers. All materials are produced within our state as well. We are looking to trade excess firearms to responsible foreign governments, either for Military/Police use, or civilian use. We are in need of Aluminium in bulk amounts. All rifles are up for trade, except for AN-94, and AK-107 models, and select Anti-Armour Rockets.

Lackadaisiclans would also like to congratulate you on your new Constitution which so fervently upholds the rights which are precious to us all, indeed, its quite similar to the Lackadaisiclan Constitution.

Thank you. The Parliament is dominated by the Liberal Monarchist Party, which is a strange mix of monarchist and militant libertarian. The Kings and the People hold similar views, as you can see.

Any talks will have to wait until January or later, when the Royal Supreme Court rules on the pending case against the new law.

[Narexia]

Unless you are in the military, Legionnaires, law-enforcement, are a government official or federal agent or government security forces you are outright prohibited from owning a firearm, firearm parts, ammunition and firearm accessories. Further, owning and/or maintaining anything capable of launching a projectile (any whatsoever regardless) faster than 330 feet/100 meters per second is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN for ownership unless you are in one of the above catagories. If you get caught with a gun (for example a Beretta 92FS with 15 rounds) You would get a minimum of 10 years ON THE SPOT! An automatic weapon (any whatsoever regardless) for example an AK-47 even with no rounds at all you would get 25 years on the spot! Further, if it is a piece of military/government property, you would get 30 years to life on the spot!

[Soviet Haaregrad]

Are citizens in your nation allowed to own guns? Yes.
If they are allowed:
Is there a limit to what kind of guns can be purchased (For example, handguns are allowed but automatic guns are not)?Some soviets ban ownership of automatic weapons, or sometimes only heavy automatic weapons. Others do not.
Is a gun license or something similar required before purchasing guns? Most Soviets require a licence for gun ownership, testing basic safety and competence in use with a firearm.

[Makaar]

Are citizens in your nation allowed to own guns?
No. Only farmers (who are members of the National Union of Farmers) may own guns.

If they are allowed:
Is there a limit to what kind of guns can be purchased (For example, handguns are allowed but automatic guns are not)?
Yes; the only weapon which is legal for farmers is the Farmer's Shotgun, a smoothbore shotgun chambered for the .22 LR round. It has no detachable magazine and can fire only two shots before needing to be reloaded.

Is a gun license or something similar required before purchasing guns?
Yes; the farmer must apply to his local police station for a firearms license, and must convince the highest-ranking officer at that station of his need for a firearm in order to protect his livestock or crops from pests. The highest-ranking officer at each station has the sole authority to approve or deny firearms requests and may do so as he pleases - there is no standardised set of criteria for rejecting someone.

Once a farmer has been approved by his police station, he and everyone else at his residence over the age of 8 must attend psychiatric screenings which determine if any of them are mentally unstable or if it would be unwise to provide them with access to a firearm. If they pass the screening, they must all attend firearms safety training. The farmer himself must attend an extended safety training.

Ownership of a firearms license comes with terms attached, including that no one may handle the gun except the farmer. The gun must be kept overnight in a secured fireproof box (also provided by the government) with a numberpad lock to prevent unauthorised use.

To prevent it from being stolen, the gun is fitted with a proximity chip; if it travels more than a certain radius from the farmer's house, the proximity detector in the house will lose contact with the device, sound an alarm and alert the police. The proximity chip, when it loses contact with the detector, deactivates the rifle, rendering it useless. A GPS chip also provides police with (albeit approximate) information on the location of the device so that it can be quickly recovered and the thieves arrested.

If not allowed:
Are law keeping forces allowed guns?
Police officers are not routinely armed, as there is no need for it; their standard uniform includes a stab vest which offers limited protection against handgun rounds, and gun crime is still very uncommon (with attacks on officers even rarer; the last firearms incident in which an officer was injured was in 2003). Police officers in the Armed Response Unit are armed with tasers, Glock pistols and carbine Phalanx rifles, as well as full ballistic vests. They are called to respond whenever a suspect is thought to be carrying a weapon - even a knife will prompt the arrival of armed police.

Is the military allowed guns?
Yes, of course.

[Great Nepal]

Law about guns are simple throughout the Empire (except in Autonomous State of Romania) which states that you can not have a gun unless you are part of Territorial Army or National Reserve Army. Obviously if you have a special exempt pass which is granted by Dictator himself (although Prime Minister usually does it on behalf of Dictator), you can have a gun.

---

As for Autonomous State of Romania, local government have decided to allow guns to those who with no previous criminal convictions as long as they apply for gun licence and pay tax of NRS 50 each month. They must also have a insurance for it.
It has been implemented there however, National Cabinet in Kathmandu is still divided whether or not to declare it null.

[Sebytania]

Are citizens in your nation allowed to own guns?
Yes, for hunting and other sport purposes (on very rare occasions for self defence, in practice this is not possible)

Is there a limit to what kind of guns can be purchased (For example, handguns are allowed but automatic guns are not)?
Shotguns, single-action rifles or semi-action rifles with a maximum magazine capacity of 10 rounds (there are also restrictions on the ammunition used and the minimum lenght of the weapon) as well as semi- and singleautomatic pistols and revolvers. It's easier to get a license for long guns as they cannot be easily concealed.

Is a gun license or something similar required before purchasing guns?
Yes, one license for one gun. This includes a background check, an interview with the police as well as a doctor, and also a test on the safe usage of firearms for first-time purchasers. A male who has not completed his military service is practically unable to get a license.
