Gun laws in the International Democratic Union
Gun laws regulate the possession of small firearms by individuals. Laws and policies on this issue vary by nation.
Caxcana
Eiria
People with certified gun safety training, a permit, and no violent criminal history may purchase handguns, and if a person has an extended permit for hunting, which is difficult to obtain, they may possess certain shotguns and rifles. All of these processes have extensive background checks and bureaucracy.
However, a surprisingly high number of Eirians have handgun permits, largely due to resistance veterans wanting to keep arms, just in case.
Huenya
In order to obtain a gun, Huenya requires a background check and a mental health evaluation. If an individual passes, they are permitted to purchase guns. Most Huenyans 18 and up are considered part of the national defense and have some kind of handgun and/or rifle.
Manauia
Manauia has a total ban on firearms, except from members of the military. Most civilian police officers are unarmed. Manauians use bows and other traditional weapons for hunting purposes.
Milintica
Nobody except the military or police may carry guns.
Xiomera
no one in Xiomera is allowed to own firearms, except for handguns for personal defense. Only the military and police are permitted anything more than a handgun. As well as Xiomeran PMCs.
Hesperida
Greater Arcadia
You need to have a license to own and operate a firearm, and any purchase of a firearm must be from a licensed distributor and comes with a mandatory background check. There are certain types of weapons which are barred from civilian ownership, such as "machine guns", which is basically any weapon that is capable of full-auto firing (semi-auto and single-shot only), and some weapons require special "long-gun" licenses to own and operate, such as assault rifles. These weapons are also restricted from being used in certain areas, and some places may require you to keep them in on-site lockers at the gun range rather than your own private storage locker.
Lauchenoiria
Libertas Omnium Maximus
Most firearms are legal following a background check, except machine guns.
Liberalia
Mansilla
Mansilla has stringent gun laws and regulations.
Trive
Weaponry is legally classified into a tier system. As the tiers go up, there are more restrictions involved. Private ownership of military surplus vehicles is also permitted if they are disarmed. The only fully illegal type of weapon in Trive are the monstrosities known as revolver rifles.
