Serbia has the third highest rate of private firearm ownership in the world by some reckonings. At least it did until last week when the Government demanded a mass turn in of firearms. It is likely much higher due to all the weapons left over from the wars in the 90s.
So there have been two mass shootings in Serbia recently. T last one in May, where a 13 year-old stole his father's legally owned and lawfully stored firearms and unloaded on a school. Being 13, he can't be prosecuted.
As expected the plan to fix this was to do a bunch of things that had nothing to do with it.
- Demanded the turn in of unlawfully owned guns under amnesty
- Declared a moratorium on gun permits
- Apply More medical and psych checks on legal gun owners
They also decided to hire 1200 SROs.
Currently there are two camps of protestors.
The Protestors want:
- More gun laws and restrictions
- Restrictions on Free Speech/ Media/ Press
