restricted: Yes
unrestricted: No

if you have the money you can have uinlicensed gun or pay for the license so... result is that i'd have a lot of troubles to get one, but this jerk who stoled my car (or his friend) can probalby have it.
Result is that i can lost carn + life and can't do nithing about it. Of course it's a hardcore example, not any far from being common here...  but still i can't defent once they can attack. don't like it at all

No to freely available, yes to licenced.

When you guys say "licensed", do you mean similiar to what we have in WA state?:

~Serial number recorded by Law enforcement upon purchase
~No felony convictions or 4th deg. assault (Misdemeanor)
~Must have a Concealed Weapons permit if you are going to wear it on your body.

We don't actually have a license, per se, but the firearm has a serial number telling law enforcement agencies who the firearm belongs too.



The British system is

Must have a firearms certificate.
Firearms certificate must be granted if you have

No criminal record (doesn't include very old or minor offences eg speeding)

Secure storage for guns

Valid reason for owning gun eg member of gun club, hunting, vermin control, collector etc

No major mental instability

All guns you buy are put on your firearms certificate. They  have to remain in your possesion, or be transferred to another person's firearms certificate. Guns cannot just disappear.

I think the last part is the most important. What's to stop you filing the serial off your gun and selling it to someone you know has felony convictions? I know it's probably illegal, but what procedures are in place to actually stop it?

There's not much point in having background checks etc in place in the new market if the secondhand market isn't properly regulated.

No
If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
I'm very unlikely to shoot or get shot by anyone. I like it that way.

Huh?

Where did you see that?  All I saw was the fact that there are no public lands for hunting.

Of course you dumb american! Should you come here, you wouldn't be allowed to even possess a knife. Without blade.

Show us some proof of your aristocratic ancestors and you may clean our weapons.

And really no pistols except for the law enforcement forces.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
