What kind of gun laws there are in Belgium, when you can have operational rifles without any sort of licence?
I thought, that possessing firearms was very complicated thing in Belgium.
With the Hans van themsche racist murder incidents a few things changed in Belgium
Before that, Historic weapons like the ones i have where required to have a license and where a huge part of the black market
However, if you wanted to own a gun(In case of small calibre pistols and hunting weapons), you went to the store, applied for your license, BUY and take the weapon HOME! and you would get your license 6 months later
Hans Von themsche was able to kill 2 persons(Including a child, the sick bastard) because of this.
The gun law needed to be changed. So there was like a compromize. The gun law would be changed, but Historic weapons had to become free of license to own. The argument of doing this, was obviously the black market, and the ammo wassent used by official armies anymore.
now when you want to aquire a weapon, you first GET your license and THEN you buy a gun(And you need to be registerd in a shooting club)
BUT=
You can own now the following type of weapons
-Bolt action rifles designed and issued before 1945
-Revolvers and pistols wich do not use commercial ammo (For example, a luger in 7.65x22 MAY be owned without a license, but for a 9mm luger you do need a license)
-When it is for collecting purposes
-You may NOT own ammo of the rifle
If you decide to go shooting with these rifles, you go for a License(Not a permit). This requires you to wait 6 months in wich, for the weapons you registerd, you can buy ammo and go shooting with it in official gun stands
This is a gunlaw wich works. People can collect these rifles for there historic reasons, the Black market took a huge hit,Gun incidents are down and the people who collect these rifles, keep them out of warzones.
This Mosin nagant i bought, could easily be used right now in afghanistan or Africa to shoot and kill innocent civilians.
