There are many examples of countries without gun laws all over the world, from Argentinean gun possession to Finland's licence system. We have discussed per-capita gun ownership and Germany's licensing system. We also looked at Australia's permissive gun laws. This article will discuss the gun laws of each country. We will help you decide which one suits your lifestyle. Also, you'll find out about Finland's gun culture and a comparison between per capita gun ownership.
Argentinean gun laws
New gun laws in Argentina aim at making it less common to use guns. An initiative is underway to encourage anonymous and voluntary firearms surrender. The government is offering financial incentives to those who surrender their weapons. This program is intended to reduce the number civilians own guns and encourage a less violent society. In fact, 65% of all intentional homicides in Argentina are committed with a firearm.
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. After 16 people were killed in a shooting at Erfurt high school in 2002, the government introduced a strict new weapons laws. The new law strengthened requirements for firearm storage and restricted the use of large-caliber weapons by children. Since then, gun-related deaths have decreased by almost 25%.
Finland's per-capita gun ownership rate
The Helsinki metropolitan region has lower per-capita gun possession rates than the rest. The per-capita gun possession rate in Finland is 29 weapons per 100 persons, while the Helsinki metropolitan region has only 13 weapons per each 100 people. This difference is most evident in the types owned firearms. In Helsinki, handguns make up the largest percentage of firearms. Long-barrelled weapons are more common in the suburbs.
Australia's permissive gun laws
There were countless complaints against Australia's permissive gun laws in the past. However, attitudes towards firearms have drastically changed over 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 designed to reduce mass shootings and limit firearm access. Australian gun laws have been updated and unified to combat these problems.
Yemen lacks gun laws
Protests have increased in Yemen this month and called on the government of the country to pass a new law banning firearm ownership. 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 protesters' calls, Yemen's government has yet to implement gun laws. This has resulted in widespread violence and an increase number of homicides.
