Poor Norway! I see from below that it has decided to go the way of California. just remember this Folks when the issue of “reasonable Gun Rules” comes up!
Grumpy
(UPDATED) The Norwegian parliament goes further than the EU’s new arms directive has taken the first step towards banning most semi-automatic bouncers in the country. Norway’s Hunter and Fisheries Federation (NJFF) strongly criticizes the new coat of arms, which means that those who already have “wrong” bouts can not keep their weapons.
“NJFF believes it is unacceptable with a retroactive ban on hunting weapons that has been in use for many decades. That the victims are not given the opportunity to compensate do not make the case better. We will work hard to get compensation, “said the federal hunting consultant Vidar Nilsen in a statement from NJFF.
Three years to scrape or sell the gun
According to representatives of the Norwegian government, the new weapons team may land in the event that affected gun owners get three years to scrape the gun or try to sell the weapon to foreign buyers.
The situation in Norway before the change of laws is that there are only a number of semi-automatic bounce models that are allowed to hunt if they do not have a “military character”.
Seeks to ban Ruger Mini
Exactly what more semi-automatic bouncers who become illegal due to the change of laws are unclear. But already it is clear that semifinals like the Ruger Mini will be banned. It was the model Breivik used to kill 69 people on Utöya 2011. What more weapons models affected by the ban will be determined by what is written after the law changes.
May own another two hunting weapons
The new coat of arms will mean that the hunters in Norway receive an extended weapon cage and can own eight hunting weapons instead of max six bets.
“It is a clear light point that the plot listened to the hunters as to how many hunting weapons may be needed by hunters,” Vidar Nilsen feels.
Here is a list, including which semi-automatic bouncers are currently approved for hunting.
