I'm interested in what requirments must be met before I could buy a firearm
in your country. (hypothetically speaking) Let alone what I would have to do
to "properly" store such a weapon. This also does not take into account the
fact that the government now has a database of registered gun owners who
would be the first to be persecuted if there were a major corruption of
power. (again a hypothetical situation)
Why is a medical certificate required? Is that in relation to physical, or
mental health? Who sees that information? I would be worried about that
information falling into the wrong hands.
How many freedoms are you willing to give up for the sake of peace?
