Singapore gun clubs take new rules in their stride
http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/singapore-gun-clubs-take-new-rules-in-their-stride

...New regulations from the police stemming from security concerns has led to tighter controls on the types of firearms allowed at the National Shooting Centre (NSC), which was closed in February last year following an arms audit.

All automatic weapons, semi-automatic rifles and air weapons are now prohibited. As a result, the Singapore Gun Club (SGC) and Singapore Rifle Association (SRA) will have to destroy or export about 70 firearms and relevant ammunition belonging to their members.

The gun community has disputed that the firearms in question are "military grade", if the term - commonly used as a marketing tag line - refers to weapons similar to those used in armed forces, such as the M16 or Uzi rifles...

...Buying a gun here can be done only through police-licensed arms traders. The buyer requires an endorsement from a shooting club, which conducts multiple interviews, psychometric tests and background checks, and approval from council members.

The buyer also needs to pass stringent gun safety and technical handling tests.

Said Mr Ngui, 37, who works in the technology sector: "In total, the wait can be around six months or more after club certification and application to the police."

Retiree Kevin Leong, 66, who has joined shooting clubs in the United States and Australia when he was posted to those countries for work, added: "We have among the strictest gun laws in the world. In New York, I could keep guns at home without a safe, although that was in the 1970s. In Sydney, I could keep it at home in a gun safe bolted to the ground."...

The sad story is that the lefttards are only interested in their end game... They want a total ban on ALL legal private ownership of ALL firearms. And they will take their time with incremental steps to whittle away at our liberties until they reach that goal. Anyone believing that is not true, is deceiving themselves.

Will they have a list of what they will be exporting with prices?

While reading the total acquiescence in the statements made by the club people, all I could hear in my mind is, "Baaahhh". Total sheep.

Singapore is an autocracy. Albeit a benevolent autocracy, but an autocracy nonetheless. Citizen of autocracy's have learned to use such language in public as means of self preservation. In private I would not be surprised if you heard a much different tune.

1st Amendment rights are just as important as 2nd Amendment.

They also have a mandatory death sentence that courts cannot digress from for owning something like 4+ guns without a license, which they consider being an unlicensed arms dealer. When they're not whipping their own citizens with a bamboo cane for littering. Such a nice country. But hey everyone is safe (and no one litters). It's for the children.

Report: Germans Buying Illegal Guns to Protect Themselves From Migrant Attacks
http://www.dcclothesline.com/2017/0...s-to-protect-themselves-from-migrant-attacks/

Hundreds of Germans have purchased illegal guns from a website called “Migrants fright” in a bid to protect themselves against escalating attacks from newly arrived “refugees”.

“Do you want your town to become a lawless arena for asylum seekers? Think you need to protect your women?” asks a promo ad for the website, which has since been shut down.

The German branch of left-wing website VICE.com managed to obtain a customer list from the website before dispatching journalists to make home visits in an effort to shame individuals who purchased guns and ammunition and had them delivered by DHL.

The men responsible for the website subsequently claimed that it was legal because it was based in Hungary, where gun laws are less strict. German laws state that all weapons have to be registered and pre-approved by authorities...

An interesting look at the differences between Singapore and the USA. No gun related stuff, but actually some eye opening data.

I've been to Singapore...great sea food, that's about it...2nd world power moving to socialism...that will work for them for awhile, until the Chinese take over, as the Japanese did in '42.

It's interesting that their news media is less critical of China than that of Hong Kong.

Apparently they were air guns and blank guns that could propel a plastic ball but in EU libland that's still scary, scary.

Don't kid yourself. I heard the same thing too, but there are a lot of them here in the US... including right here on MDS...

There are a lot of misconceptions regarding gun ownership in some EU countries..Germans can own firearms, both long guns and hand guns (not all types) but it can take a year to get approval. Same with the UK..A few countries allow military vets to take their weapons when they are discharged, most require they are converted to semi auto from select fire...and then there are some EU countries that ban firearms entirely...and you see them on the TV regularly getting attacked by the very people that libtards want to import by the thousands into OUR country..

If you'd said we're headed here 10+ years ago, I might have believed it. But no, the pendulum swung against us for many years and it's now swinging back the other way and hard. I'll witness the end of the GCA, the NFA, and most restrictions on concealed carry well before I'd even consider retirement. Even Maryland, California, New York, etc will be dragged, kicking and screaming, by the Supreme Court into line with the US Constitution. I was confident of this regardless of the election results, but now I'm certain of it.

Obviously you haven't lived in Maryland for too long... :lol:

Yup. The UK may be irrational when it comes to firearms, but the rest of Europe retains some semblance of sanity. And their high-end ranges put anything in the U.S. to shame. I've shot on them.

There are but the euromedia wasn't even trying to show distinctions on this one. They were reporting all of these purchases as if they were regular firearms that came through the mail and making it sound (and showing pictures) of everything including AK-47's being involved. The WaPo would glow with pride and envy if they saw the liberal ******** quotient on most of the European stories on this.

This is where we're headed
