This BB has posters from around the world.. The fireams laws vary widely.. Soo... who feels that their countries firearms laws are too strict or even....

Not strict enough?

I believe the firearms laws in the U.S are unconstitutional and way too strict.

Gun show sales are not strict enough in the U.S.

In WA state, the laws are perfect, and the registered hand guns that commit crimes compared to non-registered (or "hot" guns) is about 10,000 to 1 when a concealed weapons permit is issued.

The U.S. also has an FBI background check for every purchase of a handgun (Except at Gun shows apparently)

gun show laws are exactly the same as the state in which the show is held... How are they not strict enough?

I think gun laws in Spain are just right.

Yup...anytime there is some sort of high profile shooting or mishap, people automatically fault the gun. This country evades the notion of personal responsibility at all costs. Its never someone's fault, its always blamed on the gun, the car, the plane, etc etc.

As always, the lawful ones will bear the bad rap of those you use them improperly. Stereotyping lives on.

I've only heard 2nd hand that no FBI background check is done at gun shows. I cannot verify this though.

Too strict, for reasons given in the other thread.

Well.. since I'd like to have some weapons.. hehe.. I think the laws are too strict

Especially when the license can depend on the current mood of a person deciding it, even if otherwise fine... like if theres two persons who are closely alike, the other might have his license and the other have his denied, depending on the mood.

Perfect until Dunblane, too strict on handguns after that.

besides the gunshow loophole, it seems to be okay in the states.

lazs2 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 04, 2004, 10:13:27 AM »

there is no gunshow loophole... and....

what part of the United States are you talking about? Gun laws vary wildly between the states. Most states have a "must issue" law so I assume that you think that concealed carry is OK? I agree with that part.

Only 18 states have closed the gunshow loopholw laz. A couple years back they found out that here in florida members of the IRA were buying guns at gunshows and mailing them back to ireland. As well as the guns bought for the columbine kids. There still is a gunshow loophole.

Agreed. Its stupid that you can't have a bayonette, flash hider and a folding stock on a rifle if you want to. It dosen't make it any more deadly.

I'm hoping the AWB sunsets, that way I can buy 30 rounders cheap again.
