The world is full of examples of countries with no gun laws, from Argentinean gun ownership to Finland's license system. We have also discussed the per capita gun ownership in Germany and Germany's license system. We also discussed the permissive gun laws that Australia has. This article will examine the laws governing guns in each country and help you choose the one that best suits your needs. You'll also learn about Finland's gun-owning culture and a comparison of per capita gun ownership rates.
Argentinean gun laws
New laws on guns in Argentina will make gun use less likely. An initiative is underway to encourage anonymous and voluntary firearms surrender. The government is offering financial incentives for people who surrender their guns. This program aims to reduce civilian gun ownership and promote a safer society. In Argentina, approximately 65% of all intentional murders are committed using a firearm.
Germany's license scheme
Although gun-related deaths are rare in Germany, stricter gun laws have been enacted by Germany's licensing system. After the shooting at a high school in Erfurt in 2002, which killed 16 people, the government implemented a strict new weapons law. The new law strengthened firearm storage requirements, and limited the use by children of large-caliber weaponry. The number of gun-related death has fallen by almost a quarter in the past 25 years.
Finland's per-capita gun ownership rate
The Helsinki metropolitan area has a significantly lower per capita gun ownership rate 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 is home to the most firearms. But, the proportions of long-barrelled weapons and handguns are higher outside of central cities.
Australia's permissive gun laws
There have been many complaints in the past about Australia's permissive gun laws. But attitudes about firearms have changed drastically in the past decade. 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. The new gun laws were meant to prevent mass shootings from happening again and to limit access to firearms. These problems were addressed by updating and unifying Australian gun laws.
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. A lack of a formal legal framework is a problem for Yemen, where weapons are easily available and crime is high. Despite protestors' warnings, Yemeni authorities have failed to implement gun legislation, which has led to widespread violence as well as an increase in homicides.
