Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

Hi, this is my first post here and probably last, i don't speak English that well but i need to say something. Getting a gun in Poland is not impossible for average Joe. You can get it for various purposes, not only hunting or self defense (that one is hardest) but also for collection, sport, or recreational reasons (this is open list) There is a list of requirements you need to fulfill, and if you do you get your license. Its not easiest thing to do and it takes some time, but if you want you can.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


As i said it's not easiest thing in the world to do, as for keeping it locked at home, what's so wrong about that ? It's potentially deadly weapon. Discretionary powers ? i don't understand. you mean that you need to have permission from local police commandant ? That's only true for self defense license, from what i know at least.

And no i don't own a gun as i don't feel any need to own one, nor any of of my friends do for that matter. Except for one, but he's a book example of someone who never should have access to any kind of weapons ;)

Sure nothing is preventing anyone from buying guns form black market, and yet gun related crime is not that high in Poland.
