Almost everyone outside the US can own guns, long guns especially, restrictions vary wildly.
Thinking about moving to the Philippines when I retire and/or the kids are grown. Ask my wife if I could have guns back home, she looked at me like I’d grown a 3rd head.
Turns out they’re utterly fanatical about 1911s. And given the gun’s history, that’s no surprise! I’d be right at home.
Anyway, you would think there enough people here to support some kind of community.
Unfortunately most users of Lemmy seem to fall into at least one of these two categories-
Don’t live in the US and therefore can’t own guns at all, or they’re so heavily regulated as to be functionally unavailable.
Extremely pro-big-government, so they may own or like guns, but have a huge list of caveats (“regulate me harder daddy”) every time they post.
Hence the gun community is pretty mid here.
