Reply to comment by [deleted] in France makes push to collect heirloom weapons across country by skippyspk

The article also goes on to say that many were family heirlooms inherited by families. It says there will be no consequences if the weapons are turned over voluntarily. Which sounds like there could be consequences if you want to keep a gun you already own.

Yes, this is normal in Europe, at least in general. You can't just own a working weapon here, even if it's old and a heirloom. At least not without permission, which is not easily issued. This action did not change anything in the law that already exists. Anyway, I realized that my comment about the U.S. Constitution was unnecessary, especially since I came to the conclusion that I'm not interested anymore in what was happening in the States. I apologize.
