There are many examples of countries without gun laws all over the world, from Argentinean gun possession to Finland's licence system. We have talked about per capita gun owners and Germany's license systems. We have also examined the permissive gun laws of Australia. This article will examine the laws governing guns in each country and help you choose the one that best suits your needs. Also, you'll find out about Finland's gun culture and a comparison between per capita gun ownership.
Argentinean gun laws
New laws in Argentina aim to reduce the likelihood of gun ownership. A program encouraging anonymous surrender of guns is being implemented. For those who surrender their firearms, the government will offer financial incentives. This program is designed to decrease the number of guns held in civilian hands and contribute to a more violent society. In Argentina, firearms account for 65% of all intentional homicides.
Germany's license system
Despite the fact that Germany has a low rate of gun-related fatalities, it has stricter gun laws. After 16 people were killed in a shooting at Erfurt high school in 2002, the government introduced a strict new weapons laws. The new law strengthened requirements for firearm storage and restricted the use of large-caliber weapons by children. Since then, the number of gun-related deaths has decreased by almost a quarter.
Finland's per-capita gun ownership rate
The Helsinki metropolitan region has lower per-capita gun possession rates than the rest. The per capita gun ownership rate for Finland is 29 guns per 100, but only 13 guns are owned in Helsinki. This difference is most evident in the types owned firearms. The Helsinki metropolitan area has the highest proportion of firearms, with handguns accounting for the majority. However, the proportion of long-barrelled guns increases in areas far from the main cities.
Australia's permissive gun laws
There were countless complaints against Australia's permissive gun laws in the past. Over the past decade, attitudes regarding firearms have dramatically changed. The country finally took action on the issue a decade after the Port Arthur massacre which saw 38 people killed by a legal firearm owner. New gun laws were created to curb mass shootings, and to restrict firearms access. Australian gun laws were updated in order to address these problems.
Yemen's lack of gun laws
Protests in Yemen are increasing this month. They call on the government to pass a new law that bans firearm ownership. Due to the availability of weapons and high crime, Yemen's lack of legal framework is a significant problem. Despite protesters warning, Yemen's government failed to implement gun laws. This led to widespread violence, and an increase of homicides.
