Gun Control Laws in Your Nation

Postby Kaifunasia » Sat Mar 26, 2016 7:50 pm

What are your nation's gun control laws?

Here, it varies depending on which province or region of the country you're in. Firearms are mostly forbidden in major cities, whereas in rural areas people may legally own them. Fully automatic firearms are banned and anything above .50 calibre (12.7 mm) is not civilian legal.

If you have a license for it, you can own it.

Not everyone may own a firearm. The following list of people are the people who theoretically, if they were to apply, may be accepted.

- Policemen
- Firemen
- Lawyers
- Farmers
- Hunters
- Veterinarians
- Explorers
- Guards
- Drivers (of coaches)
- Postmen
- Professional shooters
- Butchers
- Soldiers
- Sailors
- Christian Priests
- Railway employees
- University lecturers and above
- Aristocrats
- Royalty

Furthermore, owning a gun requires a licence to do so. A licence for owning a gun must be renewed every seven years, and its issuance is subject to character checks, necessity and other factors.

Australia used to allow Guns if you were over the age of 18, but around the 1996s all six states agreed to pass on Gun laws. You'd have to take your firearms to a police station as personal safety was no longer an option to get a gun.

Citizens are allowed to own pistols, shotguns and low capacity rifles (low capacity in this case being below 15 rounds). Background checks and 2 day waiting periods are required for purchase of firearms through vendors. Private sales must be logged with the CSF who will conduct background checks on both the seller and the buyer. Open carry of pistols is legal without a permit although a permit must be obtained to conceal carry. All firearms must be registered. If an individual volunteered for a combat arms job in the military they are allowed to own rifles with no restriction to mag capacity. Must be 18 years or older to apply for a permit to own firearms.

You have to register guns as well as you need to register cars. Background check is required. If you're seen with a gun and you can't prove you've registered it, the gun is confiscated and you'll get a fine depending on gun. You can retrieve the gun from the local police station with registration certificate and by paying the fine. It's legal to sell privately but recommendation is to sell your old guns to the weapon shop.

You can only own non-automatic pistols with DNA recognition software, meaning only you can fire them.

As far as registration goes, you can just head on down to your local armory, pass a background check and mental health test, and that's it.

We don't really worry about gun control as much as we used to, as citizens are generally expected to use them safely at home, and mass shootings are easily prevented with state-of-the-art law enforcement units.

Guns are prohibited under penalty of death for bees who

Are not members of the Auxiliary Militia
Are not members of the Imperial Air Army
Are not members of a law enforcement agency (national only)
Are not otherwise permitted by the Assembly to own a firearm

Basically, only the military, reservists, and police own weapons. If a civilian wants to own a weapon, they have to personally appear before the Assembly (legislature) and asked to be granted a permit to openly carry a firearm. Anybody else would get killed for illegal gun possession.

Because of the Riots at Magsantha in 1820, World War -I and other violent events that gave the Government to pass and implement those laws for guns and other firearms:
    1. Magsantha Act of 1821(which prohibits the use of knives, gunpowders and other firearms for illegal crimes)
    2. Byron Law of 1830(limits the number of purchase of guns and firearms by the civilians)
    3. Self Defence Act of 1932(allows the use of guns for self defence in case of war)
    4. Anti Weapon Smuggling Act of 1986(which limits the purchase of firearms for export and prevents smuggling)
    5. Military Exclusive Weapons Act of 1900(which prohibits the use of military owned weapons by the civilians)
And those laws are well implemented and enforce due to the cooperation of our citizens, Police, Military and Government

Gun laws in New Birgland are somewhat lax for a liberal nation in some respects. Any type of semiautomatic and manual gun may be sold, as well as certain types of fully automatic guns. A person must be over 18, present a valid ID, and pass strict background checks, psychological examinations, and firearm safety courses in order to obtain a gun ownership license. There is a general license for small arms such as pistols, another, more difficult license for semi-automatic guns, and a specialized, extremely difficult license for automatic guns, usually issued only to current and former members of the military. Background checks are also taken whenever someone buys a gun, and psychological exams are required for gun owners every two years. Gun shows can include people buying and selling guns, but there must be a separate purchase area where only people with a gun ownership license can enter. 3D printing any gun parts, except for receivers, is allowed, in the interest of easy gun maintenance. The government promotes nonlethal weapons, such as pepper spray, as alternatives to guns. There is also a no-questions-asked gun return program for people who own guns illegally or who just want to dispose of their old firearms. In short, one can buy almost any gun in New Birgland, but it's quite difficult to do so, especially for more powerful weapons. As a result, the people who actually buy guns are almost always survivalists, collectors, or dedicated hobbyists.
