THE HAGUE – Rules for gun ownership will become stricter in August 2006, the Ministry of Justice announced on Wednesday.
Beginning next autumn, anyone who wants a weapons permit will have to be a member of a shooting club affiliated with the Koninklijke Nederlandse Schutters Associatie (KNSA).
To prevent criminals from learning to shoot in a club, aspiring members must also be licensed by the KNSA.
Weapons permits will also become easier to revoke. From next year, committing a crime will be grounds for losing one’s licence, as will ‘moving in criminal circles’.
The KNSA will conduct checks of affiliated clubs and issue licences to individual members.
Prospective members will have to submit a certificate of good behaviour, to prevent people with a criminal record from joining.
Those wishing to own a gun will be required to have a special safe. Collectors will have to submit a collection plan and will be assigned a mentor in the first year.

They're talking about rounding up steak knives in the UK...
Actually he was shot then knifed.
Do you imagine that this is the situation that the NRA, the national reasonable-regulation asses, would approve here in the US? Only approved NRA members, life and above, could earn absolution of all their offenses and their permit. PHUI
IIRC, first he was shot a number of times, then his throat was slit, and finally stabbed to secure a letter to his chest.
If enacted here, this would automatically disqualify members of Congress and anyone who is a Democrat.

I don't think so.
As well as closing the pubs and turning them into madrasahs, and killing the Ravens at the Tower of London and tossing their carcasses into the Thames.
(/sarcasm)
Criminals always buy their guns through legal channels.

The thing is they do. Terrorists are mainly law abiding citizens and can therefore buy guns to their heart's content. A few have already used their guns to shoot down their fellow citizens (think John Muhamed) and others ship them overseas to kill the infidels.

I shook hands with Ted Kennedy once,,,
I am in deep do-do ?
I don't doubt you, but I would very much like to see the text of the specific UN "agreement" to which you refer.
Well...we sure know they won't use harsh language.
New slogan for Holland: "Holland, where self defense is only a shoe store away!"
That is such a small number as to be insignificunt...and yes I meant to spell it that way.
How special. Class act.
Yes, this was a classic & truthful statement:
"Terrorists are mainly law abiding citizens"
HAHAHAHHAA man are you off base.
BTW, John Muhammad purchased illegally and hsi "son" was also illigal.
Besides the well publicized Krasniqi case (Albanian Muslims shipping hundreds of guns to the Balkans) and the IRA and the FARC there is THE HEZBOLLAH -- ATF agents arrested Ali Boumelhem, 35, in November 2000 and accused him of shipping guns and ammunition to Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, allegedly hiding the arms in cargo crates. Federal agents say they watched Boumelhem, a resident of Detroit and Beirut, travel to gun shows to buy gun parts and ammunition for shipment overseas. Boumelhem was arrested by the FBI's joint terrorism task force, just before he was scheduled to travel to Lebanon, authorities said. He is accused of being a leader in Amal, a Lebanese militia organization, and a sympathizer with Hezbollah.
If you are comfortable with people named Ahmed, Mohammed, Ibrahim, Hussein, Osama or Ali buying exceedingly destructive weapons legally in your country - then be my guest and good luck when the shooting starts.
You want chaos - just have an airliner ot two blown up on a runway by just this type of weapon or perhaps a few gasoline storage tanks. Again, what part of this scenario don't you understand?
As for the statement you attribute to me:
"Terrorists are mainly law abiding citizens"
You are delusional.
Please read what you wrote on post 30....and tell me I am delusional again.
