Gun Laws

I believe Federal Law does not allow you to posses a firearm of any type, if you have ever been convcted of a Felony.

You may only play airsoft on your property, or property you have permission to play on.

In the entire U.S. there are an estimated 20,000 or more gun laws.

Assuming you are in the US, the answer is- maybe. If the assault was of a family member, it would be classed as Domestic Violence- which is a bar to possession of a firearm.

It depends on the circumstances and where you are. Each state in the U.S. sets its own laws for issuing permits.

First of all, the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America was never "passed." Instead, the Second Amendment, as well as the nine other Amendments that comprise the Bill of Rights, was ratified by the required three fourths of the state legislatures in 1791. George Washington served as our first President from 1789 through 1797. Therefore, George Washington was the President when the Second Amendment was ratified.

The legal ways to purchase one in the U.S. include purchasing from a gun dealer or from an individual. Depending on the state, to purchase from an individual, you may or may not have to go through a gun dealer to complete the transaction.

The 2nd Amendment affirms the right of Americans to keep and bear arms. It relates to the US, and not to a "global community".

Generally, the Federal government does not consider black powder weapons "firearms," so they may bought or sold by any person, in any fashion, without regard to Federal Firearms licenses. Delaware still considers them to be deadly weapons, so you cannot carry one in a concealed fashion without a state issued CCDW.

Members of the Canadian government felt they could regulate the actions of people by regulating things. They have found much of this has not worked well, and are reversing some of their gun laws.

Canadian gun laws have not changed that much since the end of WW II. Since then there have been "prohibited" and " restricted" categories of firearms, brought about by the return of many soldiers who brought home war trophies (mainly German Lugers and P-38's). Automatic firing weapons are prohibited as are short barrel rifles/shotguns that can be easily concealed as well as pistols/revolvers with barrels less than 3". All other pistols/revolvers are "restricted" in that they can only be carried to and from gun club firing ranges. Concealed weapon permits do exist in certain circumstances, but they are rarely issued. Prospectors may carry pistols/revolvers in addition to rifles/shotguns as protection from wild animals and claim jumpers. No person may carry any firearm or even purchase ammunition without a Firearms Acquisition Certificate (F.A.C.) obtained through the completion of a firearms safety course and clearance by the police (no convicted felon can be issued a certificate if he/she has a history of criminal violence). In some cases, the spouse is interviewed to determine if the applicant is stable and not a threat to misuse firearms. The F.AC. is either "possession" or " possession/acquisition." With the latter you are entitled to purchase any non-prohibited firearm.

"Long gun" registration in Canada came into being in the early 1990's following the massacre at Montreal's 1989 Polytechnique University. But by the mid-2000's it was scrapped as too costly to maintain (more than $2 billion was spent) and after crime statistics showed that there was no apparent increase or reduction of crime involving rifles/shotguns under the "long gun" registry.

I think that if the USA was smart, they would tighten up their gun permits to reflect more the Canadian model re "prohibited" and "restricted." We are not crime-free with respect to guns but we have far fewer shootings per 100,000 population.

Assuming CPL refers to "concealed pistol license" every U.S. states with the exception of Illinois allows the carrying of a concealed weapon. Each state has specific laws regarding who can be licensed, the method of attaining a CCW permit, and so forth. Some states only allow residents to undertake such action, other states recognize CCW permits to be legal regardless of which state they were issued in.

No. Concealed carry permits are issued by individual states, and do not transfer.

Contact the local police.

Puerto Rico does issue permits, but, seeing as the only states which honour them reciprocally are the right-to-carry states (which don't require permits), it's most likely that the issuance of such permit is extremely restrictive (perhaps even non-existent for all practical reasons).

One reason. There is a Federal law that says you must be at least 18.

The answer depends on the context. Usually a "gun permit" means a permit to carry a concealed handgun on your person. Some states (CA I think?) require a registration process in order to purchase a handgun which is sometimes referred to as a "permit". Conceal permits are regulated by state and laws very as many different states we have.

No way to answer your question- it is open ended. While this is an emotional issue, there are already several thousand laws on the books relating to "gun control". They have little impact on people determined to break them and other laws, such as robbery, assault and murder.

Yes.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

In general, yes.

Yes, unless you either: (1)Are no longer prohibitted from possessing firearms (due to a pardon or restoration of rights); or (2)The nonconvicted spouse legimately prevents you from having access to the firearms, ie. locking them in something that you don't have access to. The spouse could also face charges of providing you access to firearms.

Kids can normally "go with" the parents to take the class (in states where classes are required) and kids can go with the parents when they apply for the permit, but kids cannot get a gun permit. As far as the class goes, most ranges have age restrictions, so if the kid is under a certain age, they cannot shoot while they are there.

No, it does not.

Yes, as long as you legally possess the gun.
