So I had a look at the very exacting process to obtain a pistol license in my state... ...my thesis was, the test is not just a cock-block to be nasty, but it is a psychological test to select only a specific type of individual who can be trusted with a compact firearm. If you reduced it to one sentence; The licensing process selects for people whose default operating mode is patient, orderly, emotionally stable, procedurally compliant, and willing to exchange immediate autonomy for long-term access. Now, look at that list and tell me you don't want your neighbour to have those characterics? Or would you rather have him wave his gun every time leaves blow in from your property? #gun #2a #firearms

So I've looked up the procedure to legally acquire a Pistol #Firearm (#gun) in my state in #Australia . Firearms of any sort are super tightly regulated, we never had a mass murder incident with a pistol, something that happens every afternoon in US (twice on the weekends)

These are the requirements

1. You have to prove you do not want a pistol

2. You have to show you need it for a good cause, the only good reason being, taking it out of a gun safe between 3PM and 6PM on a Saturday to look at it.

3. The police will require your DNA, Brain scan and check your ancestry all the way back to Jesus for any criminality, this being Australia, settled by convicts, no Australian migrant can own one.

4. Pistol dimensions are strictly regulated, the magazine may not exceed 1 round, and you have to assemble the round before you fire it, by law, with the separate parts of the bullet stored some distance apart, ideally in different municipalities.

5. The barrel of the pistol may be between 1200mm and 1201mm and of a calibre wider than the round used in the pistol

6. You need to join a secret society, and pay your firstborn as a due.

7. For the first 6 years, you can not actually own a gun, instead after you get a permit, you can look at one in the shop.

8. You have to enroll and graduate from a 3 year full time University Firearms safety and use course.

9. To maintain your license, you need to attend an official cult, sorry club, competition every weekend (Sat AND Sun)

10. You have to re-apply for the license every month and will lose it if you do not meet any of the cult, sorry club, competition requirements or are within 500m of a criminal offence being committed.

Канада предложила передать Украине сотни видов оружия, запрещённых для гражданского использования, с целью перенаправить их для военных нужд.

Правительство Канады планирует расширить свой запрет 2020 года на определённые марки и модели огнестрельного оружия, добавив 324 штурмовые винтовки в список. Министр общественной безопасности Доминик Леблан заявил: «Эти оружия должны находиться на поле боя, а не в руках охотников или спортивных стрелков».

Натали Прово, выжившая в стрельбе 1989 года в Политехническом университете Монреаля, выразила гордость тем, что эти оружия теперь будут использованы по назначению. Среди недавно запрещённых видов оружия — полуавтоматическая винтовка Ruger Mini-14, печально известная тем, что она использовалась в атаке, в результате которой погибли 14 женщин.

Министр обороны Канады Билл Блэр подтвердил, что Оттава связалась с украинскими властями, которые выразили интерес к некоторым из этих оружий.

Canada has proposed transferring banned firearms, including assault rifles, to Ukraine. The government plans to expand its 2020 ban on specific firearms by adding 324 models, including the Ruger Mini-14 rifle, which was infamously used in a 1989 mass shooting. These weapons are being considered for military use in Ukraine, with Ukrainian authorities expressing interest. Canadian officials argue this is a way to ensure these weapons are used appropriately, in contrast to civilian usether details, you can visit the [Ukrainian

Yet another fediverse #introduction Hello! I'm from #Chicago and do nerdy stuff. I primarily identify as #genderfluid, #nonbinary, and #trans. Most people use they/them pronouns for me, but I'm also cool with she or he contextually. My work right now is primarily #DevOps stuff relating to #Kubernetes and various cloudy things. I've been doing this long enough to remember when our servers were named after Greek gods and you used a label maker to show that off. I practice #polyamory and try to avoid hierarchy or prescribed models in my relationships in general. I'm unapologetically #bisexual with some admittedly #sapphic bias. In the summer you might find me on my #motorcycle enjoying the precious few months we can actually enjoy it. I love cross-country road trips and #camping. I also run the Chicago Pink Pistols chapter. We're a charity that helps #lgbtq and #transgender people specifically learn about #firearms safety. You may see me post about #guns on a fairly regular basis.

"Days after a gunman charged security at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner in what investigators say was an attempt to kill President Donald Trump with legally-owned firearms, his Justice Department is further rolling back gun control measures." https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/29/politics/justice-department-rolls-back-gun-control-laws-after-trump-assassination-attempt #PublicHealth #GunViolence #guns #firearms #GunSense #DOJ #ATF
