Daily reminder that if your country is one of the highlighted in blue, you will NEVER be able to buy or possess a magazine that can hold more than 10 bullets ever again in a matter of months.
Daily reminder that the orange country is to blame for this. Thank you.

wait why would the UK be to blame for this? I thought the EU mag ban was some retarded kneejerk reaction that the undemocratic EU parliament made as some dumb way to stop the terror attacks they've had now and then.

Are you trolling? Portugal is the least based country in all of Europe together with Britain and Ireland. Literally the only three countries in all of Europe without an actual and sizeable far right.
Grayson Smith
>Literally the only three countries in all of Europe without an actual and sizeable far right. Ever asked yourself why that might be?
No it hasn't. Most UK MEPs are from UKIP, who don't care what gun laws continentals have.

The terms are too long served and representation isn't done very fairly considering the selection of European politicians is completely comprised of snakes and special interest holders.
EU citizens are slaves to companies, corporations, and high level/US interests namely because they never bothered to solidify their rights like the US did. As of now, the EU is just melting into what the Soviet Union was afraid of, and really makes you think if they were so wrong after all...
>Reeee commie
If you're going to say that the EU and US government aren't influenced by a few extremely wealthy (((people))) and hundreds of multinational CEOs then what IS going on? Invisible hand working as intended? Are worker's unions to blame for literally everything in the Middle East post 1900? I really don't like the Soviet Union or even communism in general, but licking corporatist boots SIMPLY because they aren't communist boots is pretty fucking stupid.
Whatever. I'm moving to northern Arkansas and buying some land just to chill, raise kids, let them know right from wrong and let them free. I really don't have aspirations beyond making them good people so the troubles of the EU don't concern me too much.

UK and France were the two jackasses pushing the shitty directive forward in the first place.
Thanks god, this will not happen to France because we have a bypass.
Since France know that they cannot win against a EU request, they cheated by putting 10+ rounds in the A (illegal for civilians) category. However, you can use your gun authorization (legally speaking B category) to buy in A now, but only if the product is a magazine.
So, like before, 30 rounds maximum. Only new thing is that you cannot own simultamously more that ten 11+ mags per gun. Which is, honestly, pretty acceptable for a EU country.
EU cannot ask us to change that because A mean illegal, it's up to us to "manage" who can buy in A and what can be buy. This prove that France has take position for gun owners on this point.

Well.. the czech wont accept the rule, neighter a few other eastern european countries.
The glourious nation that startet 2 WWs simply made it possible for us to buy as many beforehand and keep them so called "Altbestand / Old Stock" literally untouchable same happend with pump guns after a politican fucked up.
On the other hand if you are in a club and train once a month the rule dosent apply again.
The Brits played themselfs the EU is flooded with containers full of >= 30rd Mags now and they have achived the exact opposite on what they wanted.
Still a unneccasary rule for nothing..
Nicholas Lewis
no representative in the EU Parliament is directly elected by the people, that's undemocratic by definition >b-but they get elected by the people they elect they can elect who represents them domestically but for some reason they can't choose themselves who goes to the EU parliament, the fact that this choice is taken away from them by even a single step is not democratic and has barely any legitimacy, but I digress
Chase Turner
Just as in any other democracy, you don't choose the internal composition of the party you vote The European Parliament is directly elected
Camden Hernandez
Except France didn't bypass the EU in any way. Don't speak as if the EU was the evil bad guy who forced the poor dindu nuffin French politicians into adopting a law they didn't want.
France is litterally the country that created and pushed this law to the EU council. Cazeneuve himself bragged about it on TV.
It's just that to avoid the shitstorm, they decided to let us keep 30 rounds mags even though it was written into the law than they should be limited to 10 rounds. A simple decree, written in a few minutes and voted at night by two or three members of the assembly, can ban them, or anything else for that matter.
And we can only be allowed to own 10 magazines per weapons since 2012, nothing new.
Tyler Sullivan
if you elect someone to elect someone else, that someone else is not directly elected by definition, you numbnut the only way the EU could be thought of as "democratic" would be if its people were not those of the countries it's made of, but of bureaucrats and politicians, with all the bootlickery that comes with it >tl;dr hang yourself, you cum-guzzling faggot t. actual eurocuck
Logan Hughes
The UK has nothing to do with that law. The whole thing was pushed by France against the Bataclan attacks, then prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve woved to do something about guns, and by that he meant restricting legal gun ownership more than it already was. Every single French politician, save for those of the "far right" were uninamously in favor of that law, and French MePs at the EU council actively pushed that law, most notably those of the socialist and green parties. One representative of the green party later said "yeah this gun law is a victory, although banning all guns would have been better and is the objective we'll keep pushing". There was a lot of pressure from France on other countries and the EU council to vote that law.
An English woman, Vicky Ford, actually amended the law to make it a lot less shitty than what it was originally planned to be.
t. French gun owner.
Xavier White
I thought Sweden and Germany allowed high cap mags.
When did they ban them.
I am amazed liberal loon-left UK allows for silencers and high cap mags.
Serbia no surprise since they supposedly have lots of unaccounted automatic weapons and full cap mags from the Balkan Wars (stock piled just in case NATO invaded their country).
Of course Switzerland nice country but its only a matter of time that SJW cancer infects them more severely.
Lincoln Nguyen
But user, the Parliament IS directly elected Maybe you're mistaking it for the European Council, which is undirectly elected?
Chase Morris
maybe I'm mistaking it with my own country's laws, as far as they're concerned the plebs don't get to elect shit at EU level still, giving power even further away fron the people to someone witb even less accountability is as far from democratic as it can get
Levi Powell
It's usually on a regional basis if your country has regions. Next election is this May so there should be some info about who you're voting for
Hunter Smith
European Council consists of 28 national leaders of member states. Council set agenda of the EU.
European Commission consists of 28 commissioners. These commissioners are suggested by Council of European Union(not European Council) and approved by European Parliament. European Commission proposes legislation and budget management.
Council of European Union consists of 28 member state ministers(minister is chosen by the required topic in question). Council of European Union(with European Parliament) approves or rejects legislation and budget proposed by European Commission.
European Parliament is directly elected by EU citizens every five years. European Parliament(with Council of European Union) approves or rejects legislation and budget proposed by European Commission. European Parliament elects President of European Commission and (s)he and the European Commission are accountable to European Parliament. European Parliament can force the European Commission to resign.
Then there are EU bank and courts of justice and auditors, but those four are the main ones you should know of when bashing the EU.
I call bullshit on that map. Finland has roughly the same amount of guns as Sweden.
Robert Green

Oliver Clark
Portugal firearms laws are a disaster.
Carter Gonzalez
OP is a retard don't listen to him. Different countries implement the directive differently. In fact, the directive even allows sport shooters to own A category stuff. Technically, no country even has to change its laws, but the problem is local politicians.
Sebastian Carter
People don't understand that it's up to governments to apply EU directives, maybe because the >muh EU bad narrative is a nice scapegoat

James Wilson

Ayden Thomas
So does that mean that registering of new guns is FUBAR?
Applying EU directives into national law is mandatory. That being said the EU is indeed used as a scapegoat by many politicians "it's not our fault it's the EU's!". Except in the case of this gun law, for example, most countries want to tigthen gun laws anyway regardless of what the EU says. The more restrictions the better for politicians of all wings.

Jonathan Ross
I wonder why nobody has already go full fertilizer truck against the (((UE))) parliament.
Jonathan Ortiz
The EU Parliament has numerous problems, but the most standout ones for me are:
-MEPs are elected on a list system.
You don't vote for a candidate, you vote for a party who then puts bums on the seats. This means that MEPs are almost universally a shower of blithering imbeciles who can't get elected on their own merits and are just handed a position from party leaders as a form of patronage.
-The European Parliament cannot make any of its own legislations
The Parliament is limited to approving legislation proposed to it by the Commission. It turns the body into effectively a rubber-stamp for a technocratic oligarchy. It's literally no different from the sort of procedural parliament you get in an African dictatorship.
Mason Reed
I agree with your first point, but the Parliament has quite a lot of control over the Commission (which also isn't technocratic, because it's made by the head of state of the different Members)
Justin Stewart
>no representative in the EU Parliament is directly elected by the people
Another Finn here. I would not call the registration of new guns to be really FUBAR, but if one wants new semi-auto rifle that uses centerfire cartridges with mags larger than 10 rounds, one has to jump more loops than before. So the process is going to be more complicated than before - but not impossible.
The main thing is that one has to have acquire the rifle for a purpose for which normal capacity mags are approved - certain shooting sports (IPSC, SRA etc) are such. Another (probably more difficult) possibility is based on reservist status, which requires taking part in training provided by MPK. Until before. hunting is no longer a valid reason for getting a rifle that has normal capacity mags.
IMO the bigger issue is that from now on new firearms require indicating active use to police every five years for the firearm permit to remain valid. It is still unclear how this is actually done - presumably one has to provide some sort of documentation to police.
With firearms acquired before 12th of June 2017, there is much less hassle, since apparently they are about to be grandfathered. No need to be bothered by police every five years and you can buy any mags you want for them.
Situation is the the legislation has not been enacted yet. At the moment it is in parliamentary committees and with parliamentary elections next month, it is still somewhat uncertain what exactly will be in final piece of legislation.
Carter White
I'm in the UK and can own any magazine, no capacity limit.
You can in .22lr, that's it though, everything else has to be straight pull.
Jaxon Morales
Ill sit and sip my fuckin pint, while you read me the casualtie list and i sing my good songs, also not to worry about us because you cant fight the Muslims incading your countryor you get arrested by your own police. you let them in your fucking counrty you cucked cunts are to stupid for your own good
But buying 30rds Mags for the AR15 is still OK? I wound buy it instant right now if not
