There are many examples of countries without gun laws all over the world, from Argentinean gun possession to Finland's licence system. We've discussed per capita gun ownership and Germany's license system. We have also examined the permissive gun laws of Australia. In this article, we'll examine each country's gun laws to see which one best fits your lifestyle. We'll also discuss Finland's gun-owning culture, and compare per capita gun ownership rates.
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
Even though gun-related deaths in Germany are relatively low, stricter gun laws were implemented as a result of Germany's license system. Following the shooting at Erfurt's high-school in 2002 which resulted in 16 fatalities, the government established a strict new weapons legislation. The new law strengthened firearm storage requirements, and limited the use by children of large-caliber weaponry. 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 national gun ownership rate is 29 weapons for every 100 people. However, only 13 weapons are found in the Helsinki metropolitan areas. This is especially evident when it comes to the type of firearms that are owned. 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
Many people have complained about Australia's past permissive gun laws. In the last ten years, attitudes have changed dramatically about firearms. After the massacre at Port Arthur, where 38 people were murdered by a legal gun owner in Port Arthur, the country was ready and willing to take action. The new gun laws were meant to prevent mass shootings from happening again and to limit access to firearms. Australian gun laws have been updated and unified to combat these problems.
Yemen's absence of gun laws
Protests against gun ownership in Yemen have intensified over the past month. The lack of a legal framework is one of the country's major problems, as weapons are widely available and crime is at an all-time 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.
