Gun control

Uncommon card · No. 144790

Gun control, or firearms regulation, is the set of laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms and ammunition by civilians. Most countries allow civilians to own firearms but have strict firearms laws intended to prevent misuse or violence. As of 2026, very few countries have firearms laws considered to be "permissive", with the United States being the paradigmatic example among that minority. In some countries, such as Australia or the United States, gun control measures may be implemented at the national, state, or local levels. Countries like the United States and Mexico have constitutionally protected rights to gun ownership.
