I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?
Not looking for a debate here, discuss cold drinks vs hot drinks instead. Appreciate either answer. ❤️
New Zealand
only ever had ONE school shooting in history and it was 100 years ago
average level of gun ownership by OECD standards
owning guns requires a firearms licence, licence system administered by Police, who visit your house
guns not allowed for self defence/use on people
guns can only be transported to place of use, sale, or repair and must be secured
restrictions on semiautomatic weapons
police only use guns if dermed necessary
Worth noting no hand guns except for special licenses, and guns mostly used for hunting and on the farm. Gangs still often caught with guns frustratingly.
