Как обстоит положение с оружием в Бельгии?

Only officially licensed sporting shooters and hunters can legally possess firearms. All other lawful owners of licensed firearms are required to surrender to government their firearms, and do so without compensation.

Это в 2006, с тех пор конфискация шла полным ходом, десятки тысячи единиц в год.

In Belgium, the right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by law.

The regulation of guns in Belgium is categorized as restrictive.

Далее, все common-sense measures:

In Belgium, civilians are not allowed to possess military weapons, automatic firearms, and their ammunition, concealable firearms, silencers, laser sights, and high capacity cartridges.
In Belgium, private possession of fully automatic weapons is prohibited.
In Belgium, private possession of semi-automatic assault weapons is permitted only with special authorisation.
In Belgium, private possession of handguns (pistols and revolvers) is permitted only with special authorisation.
In Belgium, only licensed gun owners may lawfully acquire, possess or transfer a firearm or ammunition.
Applicants for a gun owner’s licence in Belgium are required to establish a genuine reason to possess a firearm, for example hunting, target shooting, collection, personal protection, security.
Licensed firearm owners in Belgium are permitted to possess 1 firearm per authorisation.
Licensed firearm owners in Belgium are permitted to possess a limited quantity of ammunition.
In Belgium, the law requires that a record of the acquisition, possession and transfer of each privately held firearm be retained in an official register.
In Belgium, the private sale and transfer of firearms is prohibited.

И эти меры, судя по всему, дают плоды:

In Belgium, the percentage of households with one or more guns is reported to be:
2010: 5.1%
The rate of licensed firearm owners per 100 people in Belgium is:
2010: 3.92

В итоге, что мы с этого имеем? А вот что:

MSNBC Pundit Blames 'Ease of Getting Guns' for Brussels Bombing

You know, why is it known that it's so easy to access guns in Belgium than other of the major states in Europe, it's something that everybody knows here, that there is a black market, that there is an ease of getting guns here.

Это к тому, что если кто думает, что после всех этих "разумных мер" хоплофобы успокоятся - или что эти меры каким-то образом сделают оружие недоступным для преступников - то ему следует попробовать подумать ещё раз.
