* UPDATE *
Yesterday I went to a gun shop of a friend of mine to buy a Ithaca Govt. Model in 45. I found one at reasonable price and in decent conditions. Of course all the discussion were on the shooting issue and about what will happen.
According to this friend, the police told him that probably for TAV and hunting gun permit will be requested to pass an annual psycho-medical examination.
A friend of mine that is in the "Service", told me that the intention of the govt. is to cut all gun permits, to surrender powder and ammo, and all the guns will be passed under the "collection" status, that is they cannot be sold, moved or used. You can only own them.
If so, I'll quit Italy for Israel. A country where I was born that so easily can infringe its own son's rights, RKBA included, doesen't deserve my loyalty.
I don't know exactely the iter, my impression is that since the EU MUST became a reality, an antigun campaign started, taking profit of legislative gaps, shooting accident and bureocracy inertia, to disarm EU citizien: GB first, three years ago France, last year Germany, now Italy.
Maybe I am not right. And you don't know how much I would be wrong...
Which is the USA state with the best gun laws? You know, as Italian I don't need too much to be comfortable...
