Bullets
Not Included
Even to a gun-fetishizing
entity as "Guns and Ammo" the
tsunami of guns flooding
this country has become a bit of an embarrassment.
This is illustrated by a recent article
on their web site entitled "The
Best Countries For Gun Owners".
Yes, they scoured the civilized world searching
for other countries that were the most
gun-friendly in an unsuccessful attempt
to show we're not the only country that's
lost
its
shit over guns. (Spolier alert: We have.)
The following is a list of these countries
plus a
brief, and I emphasize "brief",
summary of their gun restrictions and
laws. (My
favorite is Switzerland.)
Honduras: No assault rifles, no open
carry (NOC), guns must be registered
with Ministry of Defense.
If you want to buy a gun you have to buy it from
one of 26 military-run facilities.
Finland: License required. All guns must be locked
in homes. Self-defense is not a valid reason to
own guns. NOC.
Serbia: Many, MANY restrictions on gun ownership.
Limit of 60 rounds per year. You may not reload
at shooting
ranges. NOC.
Sweden: Sport or hunting use only and must pass
examination. Can not be used for self-defense.
Must be kept locked
in approved safe. NOC.
Canada: Not for self-defense. Guns must be kept
locked or rendered inoperable. Requires acquisition
license.
NOC.
Norway: Ownership not guaranteed by law. Requires
license and qualifying course. Must provide good
reason for gun license. NOC.
Panama: License requires background check plus
blood and urine samples. No open carry. Guns,
ammo hard
to find and very expensive. NOC.
Switzerland: Requires license and registration
for all guns. If your gun is stolen and used in
a crime,
you are responsible. NOC.
Czech Republic: Ownership not guaranteed by law.
Background checks and competency exams required.
NOC.
And the final country, no surprise, is:
USA: Buy all the guns you want. Shoot 'em wherever
you like. Stand Your Ground means "no responsibilities".
Be sure and take advantage of our helpless grade-schoolers,
unsuspecting church-goers, and difficult-to-defend
movie theaters.
Please notice the countries left off the list:
France, England, German, Japan, Italy, Scotland,
China, Australia, Russia... you know. The fascist
states that take away your guns.
