There are many countries without gun laws around the world, including Argentinean gun owners and Finland's license system. We have discussed per-capita gun ownership and Germany's licensing system. We've also explored the permissive gun laws in Australia. This article will examine the laws governing guns in each country and help you choose the one that best suits your needs. This article will also provide information about Finland's gun ownership culture and a comparison on per capita gun ownership.
Argentinean gun laws
New laws in Argentina aim to reduce the likelihood of gun ownership. A program is in place to encourage anonymous and voluntary surrender of firearms. Government offers financial incentives for those who surrender weapons. This program's purpose is to reduce civilian guns and make society less violent. In fact, 65% of all intentional homicides in Argentina are committed with a firearm.
Germany's license system
Although gun-related deaths are rare in Germany, stricter gun laws have been enacted by Germany's licensing 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, the number of gun-related deaths has decreased by almost a quarter.
Finland's per-capita gun ownership rate
The Helsinki metropolitan area has significantly lower gun ownership per capita than the rest. The per capita gun ownership rate for Finland is 29 guns per 100, but only 13 guns are owned in Helsinki. This difference is particularly evident in the types of firearms owned. The Helsinki metropolitan area has the highest proportion of firearms, with handguns accounting for the majority. However, the proportion of long-barrelled guns increases in areas far from the main cities.
Australia's permissive gun laws
There have been many complaints in the past about Australia's permissive gun laws. Over the past decade, attitudes regarding firearms have dramatically changed. 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. To combat these problems, Australian gun laws were updated and unified.
Yemen's absence of gun laws
Protests in Yemen have increased this month. The protests are calling for the country's government not to allow 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.
