Living in Japan and looked into purchasing a gun. I thought /k/ might be interested in seeing how restrictive it is compared to the USA.
First, you basically can't own a handgun. I think there are under 50 handgun owners in the country, all of which are competition shooters who can only use it for that purpose.
You're allowed to buy a shotgun for hunting, and after 10 years of shotgun ownership, you can apply for a rifle.
In order to get a gun you have to take a $70 test on basics and ownership, $100 shooting test application fee, pay for a medical exam from a psychiatrist, then pay around $300 for the actual shooting test (yes, you have to pay to apply for the test and then pay to take the test)
Assuming you pass all of that (the actual shooting test isn't hard, at least) you have to go to a gun shop, show them all the paperwork, pick a gun you want, they will fill in a form about that gun. You then have to go buy gun lockers, install them in your house outside of plain view, have them bolted to the floor and the wall, then go to a police station and let them inspect the actual lockers inside your house to make sure they are installed properly. Then you show them the paperwork from the gun shop, THEN you can buy your gun. That is, after the police interview your neighbours, landlords, employers, etc.
Another restriction is you can only have one type of gun for each purpose. So you can have a bird hunting shotgu and a larger game hunting shotgun, but not more than one of each.
That's it! If you do end up getting a license to hunt though, you can actually hunt quite a lot. The amount of hunters, because of aging population, has gone down a lot, so particularly up north there are way too many wild animals. I think at the moment for deer or boar you're allowed one animal per sex per day or something.
>>30446458
>pay for a medical exam
On the bright side, that part's probably free.
What about a crossbow? You can hunt with those and defend yourself from vampires too.
>>30446458
In context of being Japan where lots of things can be very bureaucratic, I'm surprised it seems like mostly formalities. There's not a strong demand for gun ownership in Japan and it seems like those who want them for hunting or target practice will have no trouble meeting the requirements.
>>30446458
Are there even gunshops in Japan?
>>30446458
What are the restricted firearms there? Is it bolt action rifles and shotguns only? Are there any ammo restrictions?
>>30446542
Yes, there are.
>>30446458
Not just compared to the USA, Japanese gun laws are amongst the most restrictive over the world. The only way to be more restrictive would be to ban all guns altogether, like in Singapore.
I think shotguns are limited to one shot per barrel. So only side by side or over and under are allowed. And rifles are limited to one round.
>>30446458
That's really interesting. I'd imagine that not a whole lot of people get licenses anyway, since Japan's population is so concentrated in urban areas.
Is there even a gun culture in the country? I thought people there were downright terrified at the thought of a gun being near them. A far cry from the country of the samurai.
>>30446599
There is an airsoft culture.
>>30446599
Big military and airsoft culture.
>>30446525
You can't own or hunt with bows, at least via normal hunting license means. If you are a landowner and can procure a animal culling permit that lets you kill animals on your property through any means, you could then sort of do it. No info on vamps, but I hear a Syringe and CQC works.
>>30446537
Yep, pretty much.
>>30446542
Yeah but not many as their business is obviously rather limited.
>>30446584
I'm not sure what the application process is like in South Korea, but I know ownership is a bit more strict than here. For example, in the hunting off season, you're not even allowed to keep your gun at home, it has to remain at a police station.
>>30446599
The market is really limited. Basically the majority of people who bother at all are hunters living outside of cities. It's mostly old men but I heard the most growing population of hunters is young women.
You don't have to hunt and can go through the whole process to just skeet or clay pigeon shoot inside the city, but as you can imagine the people who want to skeet shoot so badly that they are willing to go through all of that trouble and money are not many.
>handguns are basically banned
Couldn't they just have a magazine limit, or restrict ownership to revolvers or break action handguns?
>>30446599
>country of the samurai
>where swords, pikes, halberds and shit were bant from civilian ownership since 1603
>where you need to have a permit to own a fucking sword. In 2016
Well at least I can buy a spoon in a convenience store without showing my
>>30446657
/my ID
>>30446584
>one shot per barrel
Is there a limit on the number of barrels? Because if not, they need to import some guns from Austria/Germany/Switzerland. Countries around the world have experimented with many-multi-barrel guns, but only our Bavarian brethren have made them into functional hunting pieces. Pic is a fünfling (fünf=5).
>>30446725
>literally has 'fun' written in the name
Based Bavarians
>>30446646
Makes me glad to live in Canada of all places. I can walk into a store, show them my licence and buy most types of shotguns and rifles. If I feel lazy, I can even order online from any gunshop in the country and have them ship directly to my house.
>>30446458
Are there any laws regulating suppressors?
>>30446764
>ship FFL items directly to your house
Shiiiieet

>>30446735
Sure looks fun. 10 ga over-middle-under, 20ga/12ga side-by-side. They also make rifle/shotgun combos. Basically, if you can afford one, you can have it customized however you see fit.
>>30446657
Just get a hammer then
>>30446821
No need for an FFL and access to grenade launchers and cannons (no "sporting use" rule for anything over .50cal) are literally the only advantages Canada has over USA. Unfortunately we are cucked for maglimits, handguns, and carrying handguns (unless they are over 150 years old and antiques, then you can open carry).
>>30446725
Those barrels are making me so hard right now, holy shit
>>30446458
If you dont mind, i have been interested in Japanese culture recently and i watched a few documentaries. But could you answer some question.
You mention that your population is aging, is the government doing anything to at least try to fix it? Are there any plans to accept immigrants? Are the economic consequences of an old population noticeable?
I'm glad you guys arent taking in Pakis and other types of shit but why is the immigration level so low? Isnt it hurting the country?
>>30446458
I heard that katanas are are heavily regulated and that dance clubs are also illegal.
>>30446647
It was determined that a handgun really has no use in society. A rifle and shotgun, they figured, had farm and hunting uses.
>>30447028
>dance clubs are also illegal.
You previously couldn't run a club past 1am but this literally just changed (on June 22)
>>30447009
Immigration is low because the government and to some extent the people don't really want mass immigration. There are economic issues but I think Japan is willing to attempt to address those without just bringing in labour from other places.
World population isn't going to expand forever so it's an issue other countries will have to face at some point.
M1 Carbines were really popular in Japan for a bit. They even made some natively, I think Howa did that. Are they still around or were they all regulated out of existence?
>>30447106
> World population isn't going to expand forever

>>30446458
What kind of process do you need to go through to own a bow?
>>30446894
>unless they are over 150 years old and antiques, then you can open carry
How many people do that? If I ever had to move to Canada, I'd kill myself first, but since we're in the meme realm here let's say I couldn't die I guess I'd get a century and a half old revolver to carry around.
![treino_kyudo[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Zb6ILr0.jpg "treino_kyudo[1].jpg")
If you practice a Japanese martial art. Then it isn't that difficult to get real swords, bows, arrows, naginatas, etc.
I was stationed in japan. The old japanese man that ran the introduction to japan class, that everyone had to take. He made swords, instructed sword technique, and gave demonstrations of him cutting rolled up mats of grass or bamboo logs.
I would see teenagers with their bows and swords on the trains. Because you don't need to guess what the 1.5-2 meter long object in the tube and sheathed in silk is.

>>30448047
Sabagebu has an entire story about the girls studying for their firearms and hunting permits.
yet they get turned away at the government office because they aren't old enough.
>>30446458
>give japan a constitution modeled after ours
>don't give them a second amendment
what a mistake we made
>>30448124
Japan wouldn't have ratified it anyways.
The general populace hasn't been armed since the 1500s. When a shogun took everyone's weapons away. To make it harder to overthrow him.
>>30446458
Very restrictive. Guess that's fitting. Not exactly my cup of tea but Japan it's very safe so that's that.
>>30446573
Any pics?
What about the types of rifles you can buy? As long as they are single shot/bolt action anything goes? Could you possible get an AAC Handy Rifle in .300 BLK? How about the process for buying ammo?
It sounds like you are a foreigner living in Japan. Would gun ownership be allowed to foreigners as well? I assume of course only for legal residents and not anyone staying on a visa.
>>30448287
I don't think anything goes. There are even regulations on rifling, at least on shotguns. The Japanese people I know with rifles use either .308 or 30-06, not sure what else you can use.
And yeah you can apply for all this stuff as a non-resident, just with the time it takes not many bother. I think there are literally like under 20 foreigners here with guns, or at least hunting permits.
>>30448262
I don't know of any real gun stores nearby, but one called UNCLE sells metal modelguns. Not really airsoft, they are actually closer to real guns than fakes, but still no projectiles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVnxf1O7Jrk
Due to the usual farm society use of shotguns I figured that most farmers can get one.
What about rifle calibers. The only thing i really have seen culture wise about hunting with rifles in japan was an old school 60s movie about a bear hunter with a match lock or flintlock.
What are the primary rifle calibers in japan? Just hunting stuff?
I imagine its the same rural farming caliber uses or do some Rich business men go safari hunting outside?
.22lr, .270, 30-06 to safari stuff ?
It would be cool if you guys use the stuff like .243, 22-250. and those other stuff.
I imagine japanese ammo usage sort of like at a bass pro or k mart back int the day.
In the old Japanese iron chef there were quite a few "game" chefs but i guess thats from the french euro influences.
>>30448584
here
>>30448502
interesting. Kind of figured it would be the usual .308 30-06 for hunting.
From what I remember being told about Japanese gun laws.
you have to tell the police when you are taking your guns from your safe to range or woods.
must account for every spent shell or casing.
police can show up at any time to inspect your gun safe.
>>30448502
>There's a store in Japan called "UNCLE" that sells prop guns
I feel like I should be more surprised.
>>30446458
How can I join a Sabage-bu?
>>30448625
>police can inspect
probably for the proles.
I bet if youre some powerhouse CEO like they used to be in the 90s they would be bowing the shit out to ya and merely a formality bs unless youre in some corruption investigation by some higher up govt org not some podunk police.
Kind of like rising sun with sean connery and wesley snipes.
>>30448625
I'm not sure about the last line, but the rest is true. You have to tell them when you fired a round.
Though I don't know if that's crazily enforced. Most of the hunters in the north reload their own ammo and I don't know if they call the police every 3 days to say they shot a deer, but who knows.
>>30446458
Why can't you do competitive shooting with rifles?
Even in Europe you can say you want a semi auto 7.62mm rifle for competitive shooting and get it (ofter paying a lot money to your nice government)
How come Japan doesn't accept competitive shooting as a sporty even though it's a fucking isolated island?
>>30448721
How is Japan isolated exactly?
>>30448737
very isolated. look up paris syndrome.
>it this africa?
>>30448721
because the isolated island of japan is stridently pacifistic after a certain world war and some nasty things they did.
>>30448748
If you have any numbers suggesting than Japanese have less exposure to the world than average, go ahead and link them.
From what I remember about Japanese knife laws.
you are allowed like a 1.5 inch non locking blade. like you find on a tiny swiss army knife or nail clipper.
anything else is not allowed with out good cause.
so you need an excuse like
>taking home from a store
>need it for work and you are currently on the job
>getting it sharpened.
>you practice an armed martial art. have the right papers. taking it to the dojo, home, or to a demonstration.
They wouldn't even let us US Soldiers go off base with a leatherman in our TA50. Always telling us to snap the blades off. Even when we were going by bus or army vehicle between bases.
>>30448786
hey shin chan don't take it personal. I aint korean.
>>30448018
I thought carrying real swords was illegal, or are these kendo sticks?
>>30450823
regulated
you have martial arts like iaido and tameshigiri
>>30448755
Weapon control in Japan is way fucking older than WW2.
What are self-defense laws like nipland
Like if some blade welding manic invade your home with the express intent to kill everyone in your home and you manage to gun him down in time to save your waifu
Would you lose your gun ownership and be arrested?
>be hapa
>tfw want to live in Japan
>don't want to give up my guns
>>30448584
I remember some Japanese guy's youtube channel where he's reloading .308 for his bolt rifle. Forgot his name.
He has a daughter that likes outdoor type stuff and is seen chopping wood and deep frying crickets to eat.
>>30448721
>Why can't you do competitive shooting with rifles?
You can, but you have to join a rifle association and pass shooting tests, then you can buy a rim fire 0.22 rifle.
If you want larger caliber non-hunting rifle, you need to do that anyway and go to meetups for a couple of years and get a recommendation later and pass more strict score tests.
>>30448502
Did you see an eggplant shaped man shopping there?
>>30450998
I didn't go inside, I think because of how unique the store is they don't want idiots walking in and out all day sugoiing so you can't go out without the intent to buy something.
>>30448502
Do you know what these cap gun things are called? Seems kind of interesting if its a replica of a gun I have zero chance of ever owning and if they're mechanically correct to the original

But it makes sense why so many Japanese tourists flock to the local gun range here in AZ and slam down hundreds of dollars to go shooting.
>>30451079
Not a CO2 operated gun. The other guys link showed a mini14 that would fire odd handload snapcap rounds and actually cycle the action/eject the casing

>>30448584
sika deer can get quite large, and there's also brown bears, but japanese tend to be recoil-averse (no magnums) so biggest cartridge used is usually 30-06 with 165-180gr bullets. 308 with 150gr is most common though. probably a few 270 and 7mm08 rifles here and there but 30 cal is king. bullets must be lead free as well to protect bird species. euro rifles brands like blaser, sauer, mauser, sako are most common. savage bolt action shotguns with rifled barreling seem fairly popular as well. ammo is expensive, most guys handload their own.
what about black powder guns? any rules on those?
>>30447206
Howa didn't make them for Japanese civilians. They were made for their military and I also think the Thai? Military.
>>30448502

How about Chile's gun laws?
The most basic licence allows you to own a handgun (revolver or semiautomatic) or a shotgun for home defence, though you can only buy 300 rounds a year and aren't allowed to take it outside your home. There's no magazine nor caliber limits, but stuff like .50ae deagles and .500 s&w don't make it though the import filter (too scary).
To get your gun you first need a psychologist to fill a form saying you're mentally sane, and then take a test on gun safety and law. After that, you're allowed to buy the gun and take it home.
In order to own a rifle, for sport or hunting you need to follow the same steps mentioned earlier but additionally need to be either registered in a authorized shooting club or be a hunting licence holder. Then you're allowed to own up to 8 guns of any category, and up to 3000 rounds per gun, and transport you gun (in a locked container within a private vehicle) to hunting grounds or your shooting club. Semi auto center fire rifles are a no-no, so you can't own AR-15 here, but some people get around by modifying glocks with silly stocks and carbine conversions, and also using .410 semi-auto shotguns.
Carry licences are very rare, there are less than 50 people in Chile with a carry licence.
it isn't so bad though, when buying a gun the staff will handhold you through every single step and for a fee they'll also register you in the gun club conveniently affiliated to the store, and since all shooting ranges are in a single federation taking your gun to any shooting range is allowed. Also clubs are allowed to sell ammo that doesn't add to your yearly limit.

For some perspective, a quick run down on how to purchase a shotgun in the UK.
>fill out application form for shotgun certificate, find someone of good character that has known you for at least two years in a professional capacity to countersign, pay ~$100
>undergo criminal background check
>supply details on where and how shotgun will be stored
>police officer visits your home and inspects storage arrangements (lockable cabinet securely bolted to a wall)
>assuming they're happy with your setup and reasoning for wanting to possess a shotgun, they report back to your local chief of police and grant the certificate
>entire process can take several months, certificate is valid for five years, renewal costs ~$75 and essentially repeats the entire process
Now you can actually purchase a shotgun!
>capacity restricted to 2+1
>minimum 24 inch barrel
>every shotgun must be listed on your license including date, place, and proof of purchase
>certificate must be presented to purchase ammunition
I feel you, Jap buddies. I live in a country where being friends with a convicted criminal on Facebook is grounds for revocation of a license thanks to "demonstrable connections with members of the criminal fraternity."
>>30451337
We live in a world where shellfish caught in Canada are routinely shipped to China to be cleaned and processed before being shipped back since it's both cheaper and faster than doing it in their place of origin. When you think about it that way flying to a different country to play golf doesn't sound so strange.
I'm suprised there are gun stores, plural, in Japan with that kind of totalitarian bullshit. How do they actually make money.
>Look, Kenji, we have a customer this week!

Both japan and skorea were "overseen" by western countries. Skoreans are pretty large now.
What is it about them adopting a western diet that the japanese have failed to do so? Prices? Cooking cultures?
both cultures enjoy and have their own tech industrys. Why arent we seeing any big ass japs besides pro wrestling and sumo?
>>30452122
they used reduced recoil loadings in their howa type 64, 7.62 nato rifles as well. they used a muzzle velocity of 2300fps rather than 2800fps. not sure if bullet weight was the same.
>>30446458
>after 10 years of shotgun ownership, you can apply for a rifle
lol
I bet it's because the govt knows Japan has high proportion of elderly citizens so they won't live long enough to even apply for that permit.
I'm from Poland and the whole process looks quite similiar, except it's a lot less restrictive and allows you to won pretty much everything murricas can own without a tax stamp.
There are 3 types of permits (actually there are more but those are the most common ones, the rest is pretty niche): Hunting, Sporting, Collector.
I can talk in detail about the sporting one since it's the one I'm applying for right now.
First you need to become a memeber of any club.
After 3 months of membership you can take a test (theory about the gun laws and shooting) to get a shooting license (basically like a driving license, it's just official proof that you know your shit well enough). You can have a handgun/rifle/shotgun license or any combination of those 3.
After getting your shooting license you need to apply for yet another license that allows you to take part in competitions (no tests, it's just paperwork)
After you get that license you need to take part in at least 4 competitions, +2 for every other shooting license you have (for example if your license is for handguns only it's 4 starts, if handgun/rifle it's 6, if all of them it's 8)
After at least 4 starts you can fill a form about the gun(s) you want, get a locker, that's it.
The standard is you can own 3 centerfire and 3 rimfire guns, but you can own more if you ask for it and give a good reason (which is not that hard)
You can own anything as long as it's <.50 and your license allows for it. No suppressors though.

It's a social thing. Due to high land costs golf resorts in Japan are extremely expensive and thus they're very exclusive. Playing golf is a sign you've joined the jet-set. Playing golf in another country makes you feel like a king at a twentieth of the price.

Not really.

Meanwhile, I have friends who have committed felonies, but I can just walk into a store and get a handgun in about 5 minutes, depending on how fast NICS is running.
Although if you wanna get a weapon in 5 minutes, you need to know exactly what you want and they need to have it, and it can't be some ambiguous shit. Better if it's something odd, or the dealer might (rightfully) think "this nigger just wants to kill somebody."
The US is almost the baseline, lads. Perfect wpuld be treating firearms like a pencil or some soap: sell to a child, should it seem reasonable to someone with some sense in his head.

European Caliphate, 2025
Here's what you'll need to purchase a semi-automatic rifle with fixed stock and fixed magazine of not more than 10 round capacity, or to purchase a handgun with a capacity of less than 20 rounds:
- Proof that you are older than 18 years old.
- Twelve months of consecutive membership in an official Caliphate-sanctioned Madrassa (1200 Euro-Dinars for twelve months).

- Pass an official shooting exam at the national Sipahi Headquarter where theory (religion and politically correctness) and practice (hit three 2.5cm diameter targets at 50m, unsupported and using only iron sights within 10 seconds) are tested.
- Proof that you purchased a gun safe (500 Euro-Dinars at Leroy-Mahmoud).
- Proof of the correct installation of the said gun safe by a specially trained worker (according to the infamous DIN - Deutsch-Islamische-Norm).
- Positive evaluation of your gun safe and its installation by the Caliph's Janissaries.
Joining a shooting club requires.

probably ammo sales and police / security stuff
Or they also sell edgelord shit and gun is just a side business
>>30452636
The yakuza gets its firearms from different sources. Old guns used in South-East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar), home-made guns (Philippines), Russian and Chinese guns (int. arms trade). There's probably also some South-American connection (lots of Japanese in Brazil and Peru).

So jap if your still here or any person from a nation were guns are restricted. What would happen if you used these weapons in self defense? Hell lets spice it up and say the guy broke in with intent to kill. And if thats not enough what if someone broke in killed someone in your family and was coming for you? Would you still be in trouble if ya shot him?
Japanese are probably used to 1,000 pieces of red tape for everything they do so they're not even phased by this process
>>30453929
Gun has to be in one safe, bolt has to be in another, and ammo has to be in a third, so it would be hard to get to that point
So that's interesting and everything, but what about the black market? Is there one? How accessible is it?
>>30446641
>military culture
They don't have one really. People have their head so far up their asses with pacifism that they'll take it up the ass if another government comes and conquer them. The only military culture they have are from the shut ins.
>>30447038
Whatever, when hillary tries to ban handguns or large capacity magazines I'll just increase my caliber. 338 semi auto with 10 round mag will ruin somebodies life.
>>30454866
What does that even do? If the owner was gonna do something he has all the time to get the pieces and shoot someone. If a thief has the means of getting through one safe he cant probably get through all 3. All it serves to do is slow down the owner in an emergency. But still lets just say you do put together your gun and shoot someone how much is the law stacked against you?
>>30447038
>They don't believe handguns have uses in self defense, and in hunting and farming
Disgusting
>>30447958
I have an antique Webley Mark I in .455. You can only carry it where it is legal to discharge it so no city carry unfortunately. Also open carry of any firearm is the only legal form of carry without a permit. The awesome side? You can carry a nonrestricted long gun anywhere (including on public transportation and just walking down the street) as long as you are transporting it to a place that is legal to use it. The only catch is it has to be unloaded and especially in the city you will probably have to deal with the cops.

Likely not. Most I've seen were made with zinc or nickel. Doubt they'd handle the pressures of anything over .32. Wouldn't be surprised if they were chambered slightly larger/smaller than their real counterparts, too
>>30446725
How the hell did the bavarians lost the civil war having such weapons?
>>30456518

This isn't really about gun laws but as you may know, Japanese people get reaaaallly into whatever hobby or craft or career they take up, and as such all of the air gun / survival game people go nuts with the tacticool gear despite never touching a real gun. Pic related.

>>30454866
>>30454994
>Would you still be in trouble if ya shot him?
There's not a similar concept of self-defense to the US in Japanese law. I've never heard of a situation where someone broke into a house and a person managed to get their gun out to defend themselves, but if that did happen and you actually shot the intruder, you'd probably be charged with something IF they were unarmed. Even if they entered your house with a gun and you didn't have one, if you stole their gun and then shot them, I think Japanese law might skew towards that person being unarmed and thus you doing something wrong. Depends on the specific circumstances I guess. It sounds insanely rare anyway.
>>30454869
>but what about the black market? Is there one? How accessible is it?
There's definitely one but I don't plan to go anywhere near it.
>>30455440
>Owner didn't even greet me
These shops are a rarity so they probably get a lot of people coming in and not buying anything. Couple that with being in touristland akiba, and the shop being disorganized meaning the guy was probably old and semi-unprofessional to begin with, no surprise at the lack of greeting.
>>30455461
>What about airguns?
If you mean like airsoft guns those aren't regulated. If you mean .22lr sport target rifles or whatever, those are ones you need a license for.
>>30455831
I think the earliest production ones could if you created some parts yourself. As another anon said the newer ones are more regulated and are only made of zinc and have closed barrels and etc. so not those.
What types of guns are allowed is it only double barrel shotguns amd single shot .22
>>30458424
I don't know the limits to what you can own, but no to both of those. I saw someone with a remingston 870 but they had to have some of the rifling removed to comply with law (?) and if you are hunting you can have larger caliber rifles, though it's easier to get a .22 for sport shooting.

I dont doubt you could do it of course if you tried to sell them you would first get caught and second piss of the Yakuza who deal in them. And good luck trying to use an illegal gun for anything.

Not having been there that sounds like how Japan mostly works in all aspects.
>>30461317
You get one practice run before the real deal, also, the passing requirements for shooting skill are super low. The test is mostly to see if you follow all safety procedures during live fire.

From what I've heard most jap gun enthusiast just take a trip to Guam whenever they want to shoot some real guns.
Does owning a gun give the police grounds to do a search of your property without a warrant like it does in NYC?
Makes sense, the Japs have never had a popular uprising against an oppressive government nor have they had to defend the homeland from invaders so they don't have the same self defense culture.
>>30463314
No they've had to repel China and Russia a couple times but the culture is that such things are a militaries problem not theirs. Now though I think they lean more on USA-sama.
>>30463337
>No they've had to repel China and Russia a couple times
When the chinks tried to invade Japan they got annihilated by a tsunami, and when Japan fought the Russians it was in Korean occupied territory. So neither situation really counts.

There are no self/home defense laws. You injure/kill a home invader you will be trialed as a criminal.
This article fucking made me rage. But it provides a bit of good info on gun laws.

"However, Detective X said police sometimes misuse their weapons: “A few years ago, an officer on duty used his gun to kill himself — clearly non-designated usage, so that’s a crime.” He was charged posthumously to publicly show that even the dead can’t get away with breaking the firearms laws, and to shame his family. It may seem like overkill but it drives home the point."
What the fuck is wrong with Japan
>>30461519
This.
Buying an SVT soon, and am considering buying a few cheapy chinese handguns. Apparently Norinco clones of 1911s, SIGs and CZs are actually not half bad, but cheap enough to play around with and not worry.
Also a shorty shotgun for home defense.
Gonna have it all shipped to my door, unless Canada Post goes on strike like they're threatening.
Fucking posties don't know how good they've got it. They keep striking every year like assholes, everyone's going to switch to couriers.
>Amazon selling guns when? Those bastards somehow get couriers to my door within days, regardless of anything.
And to be honest, Canadian gun law is pretty great. Not American great, but close. I bet we're #2 at least. Basically do a safety course to get a license, then you're pretty much good. Named ban on FALs though, because the laws were written in the 80s and that was "military" at the time. Fucking lame.
