Gun laws like those is why everyone in Serbia just gets their weapons from alternate sources. That way you can get full auto and anything you want with the added bonus of not having the police sniffing around your house and personal affairs. I don't know any "legal" owners of firearms in Serbia but I know a lot of fire arm owners in Serbia.

[@dariodeak]

Yup, same in every country. But if they catch you having one of those weapons you’re looking at a long prison time and all your shit taken away. There will be no trial or jury you will be proclaimed guilty and sentenced. Maybe you’ll be able to buy your time out if you have a lot of money.

We love our guns in Serbia. Fun fact, Serbia has the highest civilian gun ownership per capita in all of Europe and is number 5 in the world 😮. There are a lot of leftover guns from the Yugoslavian era and many people mandatory served and kept their issued weapons. Some registered some unregistered. Nonetheless people there love their guns.

[@JohnDoe-pv2iu]

I enjoy hearing/learning about the gun (and weapons in general) laws of different places. If I understand it right there is a law about certain magazines in Canada that is based on what it was purchased for (intent, per se)... You can own a semiautomatic M14 type rifle in Canada but are limited to 10 round mags, I believe. BUT, there is a model of bolt action rifle for sale that accepts M14 magazines. Since it is a bolt action, the magazine can be a larger capacity. So, if you own the M14 and this bolt action rifle, you can then legally by the 20 round magazine FOR the bolt action but also USE it in the M14! OK! Anyway, pretty Cool info and Nice video. Ya'll Take Care and be safe, John PS: Here is an interesting fact about 'People Control' (because that IS what weapons laws are about). In the pre Civil War era in the United States there were weapons laws to basically try to keep free black people from having weapons. Since a firearm was basically cost prohibited (like the 200 dollar NFA tax was, at the time of its inception) they regulated 'other' 'weapons'. Black people weren't allowed to own pikes or 'multiple' dogs. There you go, laws to control people that were the same as 'gun control' but were about other weapons of the time

What he forgot to mention... in addition to all he said, before being given the written permission to buy a weapon (permission expires after 6 months if weapon not procured), you need to attend classes (usually in one of the target practice/shooting range facilities that have trained and certified personnel), go through theoretical and later practical tests, which will provide you with a certificate on safe usage of a firearm. Without it, no permission for buying a gun can be issued.

That is why we Serbs have such a lousy army because our military doctrine is for the army to resist as long as possible so that the civilian population can form militias and then start hampering the invader, that is why in WWII when the Germans invaded our country they needed almost 800,000 soldiers just to control us Serbs.

Fun fact: what you saw in this video is nothing more than the formal procedure of acquiring a firearm, just like everywhere else, but the thing is, most Serbs that I personally know, both acquaintances and relatives, who own a firearm and there's quite a few of them, did not acquire it through this formal procedure. Then there's the thing of them owning not just one firearm, they tend to own multiple firearms and you can bet your rear that there's bound to be at least one Zastava M70 in their collection, since it's acquired illegally I think you can imagine what function would classify it as illegal. Thus there are more Serbs who own an illegal firearm than those who own one legally and not just by a margin, no, it's a huge difference, I'd say of all Serbs who have a firearm at least 90% do so illegally so this process is all nice and dandy but it simply doesn't mean jack !@#$ here.

@@justjoe5373I agree, but what he wrote is not true. Average person doesn't have those kind of guns. It's mostly hunting rifles, and antiques, left over from ww's, balkan wars, inherited. House of a hunter has multiple, for different animals. Only my grandpa had 7 for hunting, plus couple antiques. How hunting works. Why that numb is so high. They are basically disarming farmers, living in rural areas. Why those turned over are mostly old rifles, and are people left with no guard for their crops, animals from predators, to eliminate a sick animal, that can transfer a disease to their animals ect. Why hunters exist. Gun owners are mostly outside of the city. Even mi.grants make more problems in rural areas, close to borders, looking for isolated houses easier to break into, steal from. People in rural areas need guns, and this new law is aimed at them, on purpose.

there's no carry permit available for civilians in Serbia, expect in very extreme cases, you get ownning permit, and gun stays in your home and doesn't leave the premises under any circumstance, because you buy one under pretext that you'll use it for self defense, the only way to get carry permit is to legally prove you won't make it alive outside the premises of your home due to whatever reasons, and proving that is very very difficult

Very interesting compare and contrast. Those gun stores look like high end, boutique jewelry stores! I just recieved my Possession and Acquisitions Licence, Here in Canada, you don't need a doctor to sign off on anything/do a shooting test or go to the police for additional paperwork. You pay for the course and you can choose whether you want just your regular licence for non-restricted (shotguns and rifles with an 18" or longer barrel and an overall length of over "26) or pay extra for the restricted (handguns with a barrel length of 4.2" Armilite rifles/rifles with a barrel length under 18") class and get that enhancement on your license. Suppressors and full auto guns are prohibited and since December 1998, you can't get a prohibited enhancement. You send in your application paperwork with a picture (sighed by a witness proving it's you) to the Canadian Firearms Officer where your background check is done and the application is approved or denied. Your license is good for 5 years.
