Firearms in Nuvania are subject to restrictions and regulations for civilian ownership, including the possession, sale, and use of firearms. Civilian ownership of a firearm in Nuvania is conditional on meeting certain criteria and can be legally denied or revoked if an individual does not meet these criteria. Two pieces of legislation, the Arms Act 1987, and the Hunting and Fishing Act 1972 currently regulate firearms in Nuvania, and provide the framework for which enforcement of firearms regulation is conducted.
Nuvania has had a long history of civilian ownership of firearms, and this association has had an impact on the country, particularly in rural areas where firearms are considered essential tools for most households. Between 1836 and 1937, the Constitution of Nuvania enshrined the right to own firearms, a provision not included in the 1937 constitution adopted after the Great War. Firearms legislation has been controversial, particularly in the enforcement of existing firearms laws as well as issues surrounding the legal obligations of firearms owners. (See more...)
