Caute chlapi, ze vam do toho vstupim – najprv na uvitanie, som tu novy.
Kazdopadne, na slovenskom fore Webforum.sk toto intenzivne riesime. Osobne som kontaktoval vsetkych europoslancov, mozte tak urobit aj vy na:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/cs/s ... country=CZ
Mne zo slovenskych odpovedal len Richard Sulik, Manka inemu z fora, ten to asi tiez nepodpori.
Kazdopadne, Fini uz podali oficialnu odpoved a je silne zamietava vratane zakazu doplnkov zbrani cez internet (kedze tam su vzdialenosti velke a ist po pruzinu spuste do helsink asi nejde):
Tu su udaje z finskeho fora:

Zatial len CR (Chovanec) a Finsko sa postavilo proti, vyzera to, ze aj Polsko to v danej podobe odmietne. Kalinak suhlasil za SR (hajzlik). Organizujte sa, musime byt hlasni! Ak to prejde, zostava nam len vyhlasit obciansku neposlusnost.
Tu je odpoved Finskeho ministerstva vnutra. (sorry za dlzku textu v anglictine):
Proposal:
In the E-letter received there is a question regarding pre-emptive measures to potential changes to
weapons directive. According to letter, we can expect that European Commission proposes
restrictions to private ownership of at least automatic firearms and proposes moving the
semiautomatic versions of assault rifles to category A and restricting private sales of firearms over
internet.
Opinion of the Cabinet:
Banning of the automatic weapons and restricting semiautomatic versions:
Finland believes that commission should restrict illegal trafficing of firearms instead. Illegal
trafficing will become harder once deactivation standards are aligned. According to commission
this is discussed in meeting of firearms committee on 3rd of November 2015. In addition trafficing
can be curbed by aligning the legislation regarding ”essential parts” of firearms in member
countries more efficiently. Restrictions to internet-trade and more supervision can also prevent
firearms from falling into wrong hands.
Instead of banning private ownership permits process can be revised to control the possession of
such firearms better than today for example requiring proof of need and membership in sports
organization. In addtion permits could be re-evaluated periodically.
Restrictions to arms collectors:
Deactivated firearms have little to none collectors value and banning them does not harm shooting
sports in Finland. Possession of automatic firearms should still be allowed to private collectors and
museums. Also it is necessary to continue giving permits to full auto firearms for academic
purposes.
Restrictions to Internet sales:
Instead banning internet sales, better option would be to control it. Permits should be required to
purchase firearms online and sales over the bordes should controlled by improving exchange of
information between the authorities.
Arguments of the Cabinet:
In the E-letter there is a question about pre-emptive measures regarding directive 91/477/ETY
(firearms directive) revision. According to information commission has given statement on 18th of
November 2015 to which U-letter is being prepared. In this statement cabinet addresses the
questions regarding changes to weapons directive based on feedback received from the experts. In
this weapons directive the minimum standards are set for weapons legislation in member countries.
This directive only sets the minimum level for national legislation and it has proven to be inefficient
regarding weapon definitions and essential parts. Due to this national legislation differs in member
countries and because of this it is possible to legally buy parts and assemble firearms and transport
them to another country where those parts are illegal. Therefore the current control system is
inefficent and risk of getting caught is only minor.
Based on estimates, the European Commission proposes restrictions to private ownership of at least
automatic firearms and proposes moving the semiautomatic versions of assault rifles to category A
and restricting private sales of firearms over internet. No detailed information is available at this
time.
Based on recent studies, these restrictions might have significant impact to private ownership of
firearms and shooting sports in Finland. Depending on the proposed content, these restrictions will
impact national defense, national reserve shooting events, sports shooting, hunting and weapons
collecting. This also has a significant impact on gun manufacturers and retailers.
Cabinet proposes to pay particular attention to impact for voluntary military reserve activities.
Voluntary reserve has a significant role in maintaining both will and skill of the reserve. Finlands
defence relies on large reserve.
95% of the military personnel are reserve whose skills are maintained by Finnish Defence forces.
Voluntary activities support this activity and ensures that reserve can support authorities.
According to studies restrictions to semiautomatic assault rifles and machine pistols will have
significant impact to skills of the armed reserve. Shooting activities are mostly performed
with weapons proposed to be restricted and over time this will impact both skills and morale
of the reserve. According to cabinet restricting reserve activities sends a mixed signals outside.
According to studies, change also impacts the position of maanpuolustuskoulutusyhdistys as a
strategic partner to Finnish Defence forces specially if possession of weapons is not allowed to
public organizations.
Banning of the private ownership of semiautomatic firearms leads to the end of the sports shooting
activities like pistol shooting, IPSC and it also might impact weapons used for hunting. Banning of
automatic firearms impacts collectors.
Based on E-letter, restrictions to internet sales are vague at best. There is no information whether
selling, buying or both are proposed to be restricted. The weapon types mentioned in E-letter are
already requiring permits in Finland and moving them over borders requires permits as well.
Customs will monitor that weapons moving across the borders have all necessary permits. Proposed
restrictions perhaps try to address illegal firearms sales where parts are sourced from multiple
countries exploiting the differences in legislation when it comes to deactivation standards and
definitions of ”essential parts”. According to studies received by the cabinet, there have been
incidents where deactivated firearms have been found to be easily converted back to functional
automatic weapons. These insufficiently deactivated firearms have been found from Finland.
Cabinet agrees that common deactivation standards would be an efficient mean to prevent illegal
firearms trafficing and process to align standards should be expedited.
In Finland all restrictions apply only to law abiding citizens who use firearms in authorized and
controlled shooting sports. Restrictions to internet sales would introduce additional challenges to
those transactions where the distance between buyer and the seller is long. This is common in
Finland. Also weapon maintenance is essential part of firearm safety.
The goal of the commission is to improve internal security of the EU. According to cabinet
measures in E-letter, it is not possible to efficiently prevent obtaining firearms illegally.
Instead proposed measures target already restricted legal activities. Received statements also
indicate that the more strict the firearms control is, the bigger the demand for illegal firearms
is.
The changes should address restricting the illegal firearms trafficing instead. In addition cabinet
states, that preventing crime in EU area requires contant efficient communication between different
authorities and expert knowledge of the firearms law.
It is the opinion of the cabinet that in Finland firearms law is strict but functional which
enables safe and controlled weapons collecting, shooting sports, hunting and reserve shooting
activities and participation to shooting competitions. Cabinet also believes, that EU
restrictions should rather use Finnish firearms legislation as a model of a working firearms
law ant try to harmonize EU legislation according to Finnish legislation
