There are many examples around the globe of countries that have no gun laws. These include Argentinean gun ownership and Finland's licensing system. We have also discussed the per capita gun ownership in Germany and Germany's license system. We've also explored the permissive gun laws in Australia. We'll be examining the gun laws in each country to determine which one is most suitable for you. 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. The government is implementing a program to encourage anonymous surrenders of firearms. To encourage surrender of weapons, the government offers 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, the firearm is responsible for approximately 65% in intentional homicides.
Germany's license program
Although gun-related deaths are rare in Germany, stricter gun laws have been enacted by Germany's licensing system. Following the massacre at Erfurt High School in 2002 that left 16 dead, the government enacted a strict new weapons law. The new law tightened gun storage requirements and banned children from carrying large-caliber guns. Since then, gun-related deaths have decreased by almost 25%.
Finland's per-capita gun ownership rate
The Helsinki metropolitan area has significantly lower per-capita gun ownership rates than the rest of Finland. 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 evident in terms of the type and quantity of firearms. Handguns account for the largest share of firearms in the Helsinki metropolitan area, while the proportion of long-barrelled weapons increases further out of the central cities.
Australia's permissive gun laws
Many people have complained about Australia's past permissive gun laws. Over the past decade, attitudes regarding firearms have dramatically changed. 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 made to stop mass shootings and prevent firearms from being stolen. These problems were addressed by updating and unifying Australian gun laws.
Yemen's lack of gun laws
Protests in Yemen have increased this month. The protests are calling for the country's government not to allow firearm ownership. A lack of a formal legal framework is a problem for Yemen, where weapons are easily available and crime is 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.
