The Czech rules don't sound that different from where I live (California). Permits are for 5 years, and require a written test. You have to take the hands-on safety test for every gun you buy. There are checks for mental health and criminal records, although IIRC the mental health check only covers involuntary commitments.
- Emma_Goldman 4y agoSorry I meant to add this statistic (updated now): "The most recent statistics show that on a per-capita basis Czechs own about one-tenth the number of guns Americans." The Czech Republic has 10% the per capita gun ownership of the US, and some moderate controls on ownership, and suffers from occasional mass shootings. That seems to me consistent with the idea there's a relationship between gun ownership, and its lax regulation, and mass shootings. The Czech Republic has less ownership, a bit more regulation, so has less mas shootings. But it still has them because those values are not 0.
