Its pretty much this like anon said. Its to keep retards and idiots out and only give the license to the ones who have respect and passion for the sport/hobby.
You gotta shoot a bit at a range, document it, join a shooting club then you can try for a gun license.
For every fire arm you get, you need to get a special "token" from the government. So unlike in US, you cant have like 25 different guns. However cool thing is if you get your license you can walk around with concealed carry.
>Its to keep retards and idiots out
Have you seen polish guntubers? >You can't have like 25 different guns
I got 30, depends on region
We also got more cool laws >no capacity limit, get a belt fed if you want >no barrel lengths limits, no cuckery like pistol braces or stamps >90% of supressors have no buying restrictions for civilians >if you really want to you can get full auto, or 50bmg rifles or a grenade launchers (with training ammo that does not explode on impact, but flies just as good), that requires time, money and loads of legal shitfuckery but i know guys who did it >we have kind of a castle doctrine, you usually walk free if you shoot an intruder but it's not guaranteed and requires good lawyers, patience and you most likely won't see your guns for the next 3 years
we have other cuckery tho >you can only shoot at officialy aproved ranges, and having your own range on your own land is a long and costly process. "Tactical" ranges are getting quite popular tho, very few of new gun owners are into static plinking >no funny bullets ie armor piercing, tracer, incendiary >you have to carry a license on all times when you have a gun, every gun needs to be registrated and the registration can take months in many regions >guns have to be locked in certified lockers when not at use, so no cool wall gun display for us >you can't leave a gun in a car when ie. shopping (unless you drive with a locker in the trunk), if it gets stolen it's 10 years in jail for you if i remember correctly >everything is 3 times as expensive as in the us,and average earnings are 1/3rd of the american. A fucking acog costs 3x average monthly salary
Euroanons, is it similar in your countries?
There is only one thing that i envy in the US, and that is huge areas of public land i can go with a gun and spend a week or two larping, shooting shit and having fun with friends. You guys don't know how good you have it
is only one thing that i envy in the US, and that is huge areas of public land i can go with a gun and spend a week or two larping, shooting shit and having fun with friends. You guys don't know how good you have it
this one's a major difference. They don't have a lot of free land they can just roam that isn't owned by some private owner. They also killed off most of their game generations ago, so a lot of the hunting is focused around grounds managed by gamekeepers with bred to be hunted animal populations, as opposed to true wilderness we have in north america.
As a result this leads to all sorts of elitism and cost based gatekeeping, and far more barriers to entry aside from just the licensing nonsense.
Depends on the state i guest? I know there is next to none public land for shooting in Floroda or Texas but lots of it in Washington or Utah, and just the "grab sks go inawoods" is next to unachievable for us
>you cant have like 25 different guns.
you totally can. 50 is a soft cap, because above that you have to build weapons store room, which is expensive and pain in the ass to make.
But yeah, our guns law aint that bad after first few hurdles.
This is basically the only reason why I don't hate the system that exists in the US in its current form. On some level it does suck that the fun stuff is wildly expensive to acquire but one need only take one quick glance at some of the rougher urban areas here in the states when the glocks with switches were flooding the place to start to appreciate there being a financial hurdle to clear to acquire the fun stuff. It's an idiot filter.
Half the shit on there ends up on youtube shorts. I saw dozens of videos of fine upstanding young gentlemen magdumping dem glawkz mang off the back porch, through a window, or at each other on youtube. People just whole-ass submitting evidence against themselves of their own free will. I'm not trying to ride their dick or anything but there's a reason the atf exists just like there's a reason the full auto stuff is expensive as shit.
>it keeps most retards out. So most enthusiasts are respectful adults with a deep respect for firearms.
In my experience you're partially correct, most (legal) gun owners here are hunters but they are generally crazy elitist cunts, on the other side we have dudes with Yugo war vintage shit they got in their barn that they shoot off, and gyppos doing blood feuds.
In what country? There is more than double the amount people in Europe than there are in the US, it's kinda like asking "what is European culture like?"
Its full of sad sacks sucking their own dicks because the govt let them have a bang stick im some meme caliber with a meme action which must mean they're special or better than everyone else since their brains are still feudal in nature and think only the upper caste/nobility can or should have access to guns. That is of course, unless they get their panties in a knot over another day in America without a civil war and feel the need to scream into the abyss that if they could own guns (they can) they'd totally be living in a based trad ethno state right now unlike the cucked Americans.
A shit ton of hunter fudds who "got theirs" and all other gun owners can go drown as far as they're concerned.
Some traditional sport shooters who are largely the same.
A handful of countries have growing dynamic competition / larp / prepper populations, but Euro institutions have upped the barriers for that since 2017-ish.
Very few countries have really grown a "gun culture" to speak of except Czechs, the Swiss and maybe Poles lately.
Holy run-on sentence batman
You're not even American, are you?
I think the implication is that he's not American anon, he's probably speaking about how things are where he lives.
The other anon's probably close with the German guess, given his lack of punctuation. Germans tend to just combine a sentence's worth of words into one big word.
Europe for most of it's existence was under authoritarian absolute monarchy control. Republics and constitutional monarchies are an extremely new, and a majority of them had draconian laws against weapon ownership even going back to limiting drawstring strength so they grew up in a culture where weapon control is not only accepted but desired. So a majority of it is basically revolves around hunting and otherwise it's an extremely niche hobby.
americans will laugh at europeans being happy with their restrictive stance on firearms, whereas europeans will laugh at americans constantly having mass shootings due to their lax stance on firearms. this difference stems from culture. american culture was born from rebellion, whereas european culture was shaped by millenia of living under totalitarian forms of government.
Full of old fudds who are happy to let daddy gubmint trample them and hate the idea of new people getting into the hobby and changing things, which is why 99% of gun clubs have permanently closed registrations, or until 'further notice', meaning when one of them dies.
Your "Europe" is a group of wildly different countries that just happen to be near each other, so you're going to have to be a bit more specific than that.
They all developed very similarly though. value wise they all mostly descend from an autocratic, divine rights of kings, form of government where rights and freedom came second to an "orderly" society.
>Drunk hunters >Schizo militia types >Sportsmen >Non-schizo militia types
The guys who are into reservist shooting are typically the most into guns and most knowledgeable of them, hunters dont really care as long as it shoots.
And the US was an aristocratic feudal society where only rich landowners had a say, the freedom bit is modern fiction.
It could be better but most of us are germanized cucks who want it to stay the same or be even more difficult as long as the gubbimum dunn take muhh guns
fucking fudds
differs from country but it's mostly focused more on sports shooting and hunting with a few exceptions. There's isn't really a broad way to define gun ownership in Europe
Europe is significantly more diverse than the US so there is not a monolithic gun culture accross the continent. Same goes for laws, they differ from country to country.
In general, it's like the US minus the tactitards and plus a layer of administration. Everybody who wants to own a gun and is not a felon/insane/minor, can do so and usually does. People crying on the internet are either trying to stir shit up or are felons/lunatics/minors who cannot legally own firearms.
We can have them I France, Swiss is a given so is finland, germany italy but I'm not sure, Western europe in general, poland and czeck republic, give me a year when I get my gun legislation courses and I can be more specific, Europe is big, but most anon that own guns are from the countries I cited
Boland anon here, it's breddy good, could be better. The tests and whatnot to get a sporting license (which is the most common because it allows conceal carry) aren't too bad, and the whole process costs about 400 USD and takes between 4-6 months. Honestly the biggest hurdle is passing the theory exam, you have to remember a lot of autismo tier laws, but all in all it could be much worse. Because of that I constantly meet new people through my shooting club, the bar for becoming a gun owner is lower than ever over here.
t. proud owner of a PM63 and about to purchase a Browning Auto 5 for Christmas after fucking around with the loicense since April.
IIRC the Netherlands is very restrictive and has almost no culture around it at all.
Dutchy here, we're not too bad (but still quite bad). After a recent mass shooting (which was the government's fault by the way) laws were tightened up a lot, meaning it takes more time. Basically, you can only own guns with a valid reason, that being sports shooting, hunting or collecting (no, carrying is not a valid reason unless you are a politician or judge). Maximum is five guns for sports, six for hunting, and unlimited everything including fucking machine guns for collectors (as long as they fit in your collection plan). There's a decent online community, gun clubs can be a bit hit or miss, although the biggest sports shooting association (KNSA) are usually a bunch of stuck up boomer pricks, as is the biggest collecting association (Beaumont). I really, really like guns and don't find the Dutch laws to be a reason to move, although I am getting my paperwork to open a gun store at home, which means I basically have zero restrictions left.
Forgot to mention: airguns. Really fun, big (online) community, because they are completely unrestricted. You can buy a .45 cal air rifle with the muzzle energy of a 9mm Para, and even though we're a small country there's at least three gunsmiths that will sell you one of their own design. They are really fun and completely unrestricted for adults, even full auto ones.
Airsoft though? Completely fucking illegal, class 1 firearm (nukes & machine guns are class 2, guns class 3, bladed weapons class 4), so you need a full governmental exemption for those. Or, if you're our current Ministry of Justice, you just give one single association an exemption for them, and then get your ass sued because you are handing legislative power over to said association. Speaking of that: MoJ (the ones making gun laws) have been consistently losing legal cases for the past decade now, and lots of badly written laws have been overturned. They tried to make KNSA membership mandatory for sports shooters, for example - and then found out that freedom of association is a naturally protected right. Oops.
I wonder what nation is most similar to America in the sense that people will just go out back on their land to pop cans with 22s and blast garbage for fun. What nation has a similar mentality around night vision, tactical gear, and shooting, that being its totally fine and legal if a bit cringe?
- ca. 5.5M people, 750.000 gun permit holders with total of 1.5M firearms
- every gun has its own issued lisence
- lisence can be given based on hunting, shooting sports, army reserve and gun collecting
- gun and lisence categories are: rimfire rifles, shotguns, rifles, combination guns, black powder guns and flare guns. Action types 1. Single shot / single shot with magazine / pump action, 2. Semi-auto, 3. Full-auto. Additionally ”ERVA” (specifically dangerous veapon) which applies to short rifles, semi- auto rifles with magazine of more than 10 rounds and full-auto rifles, machine pistols, machine guns, etc. (Note the recent EU magazine size restrictions which made most military style semi-auto rifles into this category, if a magazine exeeding 10 rounds is used). ”ERVA” applies also to cartridges which are hollow point.
- gun applied for must fit to the applicants presented purpose/shooting sport type. Recently military style semi-auto rifles are not likely to be accepted based on hunting sport and police has listed gun models which are not recomnended to be lisenced with hunting application
- every application is personally presented at police station, with interview regarding the grounds for application.
- First time/gun lisence applicants are investigated more thorougly for applicants personal suitability to be a gun owner.
- handguns laws tightened a few years ago after 2 school shootings. Now lisence requires 2 year practice with a handgun, certified by a gun club. New lisences for pistols and demi-auto rifles are given usually first for 3-5 years, with requirement for proof of sport activity to renew the lisence.
- lisences given before 6/2017 are mostly open ended and recent EU pistol/rifle magazine size restrictions do not apply to these.
Two articles for gun ownership in Romania. Who can own, collect, use and modify what.

Some interesting things: >It is forbidden to disassemble your gun for cleaning purposes. Only field strip. Complete disassembly can be done only by an armorer >It is forbidden to fix your gun. Only an armorer can do it >there are less than 50 armorers in the entire country
Is this a common thing in other countries?
>I've pretty much given up my goal of immigrating to America legally. Which euro country has the best gun laws?
What country are you from and what do you do for a living? All you need is some sort of degree/experience in demand and 4 years of time. You cannot fuck it up especially if you can speak good English and are white. You must be retarded.
In the UK its pretty dmall but we have some of the worst laws and the least amount of space. Hunting medium game is very expensive if you don't know anyone who'll let you shoot on their land, and you'll likely have to travel a good distance to find somewhere that will let you shoot a deer.
I'm lucky enough that I know a couple of farmers who let me just turn up and shoot crows and pigeons for them. Clay shooting is quite popular and accessible though, and there is a largish range near me that offers practical shooting types. So it's there, but its small and requires connections and hoops to jump through. Plus we have a breed of uber fudd that hates literally everything.
It's interesting how in all these threads there is a large percentage of sperging Americans projecting their copes and assumptions based on dunning kruger effect.
Explaining to me how much cucked we are here...
>more endless chimping out about Americans on our own fucking websites written in English
Go back to a weapons forum for your own country then euronagger. Making English the lingua franca was a mistake. We have to deal with turd worlders and (non-Anglo) euros online with no respite.
>b-but we're not that cucked you guys!!!!
If you need a license with the government, you're already too far gone.

If you need a license with the government, you're already too far gone.
Spain has a 50 million habitants, we have 3 million weapons. The biggest community, by far, is hunters. The most used weapon are shotguns.
Hunting it's the easiest license. But that doesn't mean it's easy. You need medical exam, psychological exam, written exam (in a police station), practice exam (in front of like 20 police officers). You can't have criminal records, or violence against woman records. A similar license allows you to buy hunting rifles, but forget about automatic and more than 3 rounds capacity. You can only use them in restricted areas ($300-$1000/y).
To own a gun yo have to do all those and get good points in a sports tournament EACH year. A pain in the ass.
Ofc all of those exams and permits i wrote cost money. And you have to show your guns to a special police station every 5 years.
Jesus fuck, and I thought we had it bad over here. At least the glowies leave me alone for the most part as long as I keep renewing my hunting license once every three years.
Everything about Austrian gun law ive read seems REALLY good by euro standards, any Austrian anons to confirm? (You guys have better baked goods than France btw)
Since their is a barrier of entry it keeps most retards out. So most enthusiasts are respectful adults with a deep respect for firearms.
Shut up G*rmoid
lol how did you know?
Because Krautfags are the only ones demanding to be put on a leash and trampled on, every thread
Not really.
This is a German. I came here to describe a German on gun culture. One did it for me.

Its pretty much this like anon said. Its to keep retards and idiots out and only give the license to the ones who have respect and passion for the sport/hobby.
You gotta shoot a bit at a range, document it, join a shooting club then you can try for a gun license.

Some interesting things:
>It is forbidden to disassemble your gun for cleaning purposes. Only field strip. Complete disassembly can be done only by an armorer
>It is forbidden to fix your gun. Only an armorer can do it
>there are less than 50 armorers in the entire country
Is this a common thing in other countries?
I've pretty much given up my goal of immigrating to America legally. Which euro country has the best gun laws?
All the posts ITT say that Poland is great about that. Which is a shame since the country is not exactly a paradise when it comes to other things.

What country are you from and what do you do for a living? All you need is some sort of degree/experience in demand and 4 years of time. You cannot fuck it up especially if you can speak good English and are white. You must be retarded.
Czech Republic.
In the UK its pretty dmall but we have some of the worst laws and the least amount of space. Hunting medium game is very expensive if you don't know anyone who'll let you shoot on their land, and you'll likely have to travel a good distance to find somewhere that will let you shoot a deer.
I'm lucky enough that I know a couple of farmers who let me just turn up and shoot crows and pigeons for them. Clay shooting is quite popular and accessible though, and there is a largish range near me that offers practical shooting types. So it's there, but its small and requires connections and hoops to jump through. Plus we have a breed of uber fudd that hates literally everything.
It's interesting how in all these threads there is a large percentage of sperging Americans projecting their copes and assumptions based on dunning kruger effect.
Explaining to me how much cucked we are here...
>more endless chimping out about Americans on our own fucking websites written in English
Go back to a weapons forum for your own country then euronagger. Making English the lingua franca was a mistake. We have to deal with turd worlders and (non-Anglo) euros online with no respite.
>b-but we're not that cucked you guys!!!!
If you need a license with the government, you're already too far gone.

Spain has a 50 million habitants, we have 3 million weapons. The biggest community, by far, is hunters. The most used weapon are shotguns.
Hunting it's the easiest license. But that doesn't mean it's easy. You need medical exam, psychological exam, written exam (in a police station), practice exam (in front of like 20 police officers). You can't have criminal records, or violence against woman records. A similar license allows you to buy hunting rifles, but forget about automatic and more than 3 rounds capacity. You can only use them in restricted areas ($300-$1000/y).
To own a gun yo have to do all those and get good points in a sports tournament EACH year. A pain in the ass.
Ofc all of those exams and permits i wrote cost money. And you have to show your guns to a special police station every 5 years.
Jesus fuck, and I thought we had it bad over here. At least the glowies leave me alone for the most part as long as I keep renewing my hunting license once every three years.
it's mostly hunters, there's also some who engage in shooting sports like skeet shooting but far less
Everything about Austrian gun law ive read seems REALLY good by euro standards, any Austrian anons to confirm? (You guys have better baked goods than France btw)
