In fact, the Czech Republic has filed two complaints, one directly against the European directive which makes unacceptable restrictions on the right to possess weapons, the other against the effects of this directive on European states, which are obliged to modify their national law by September 2018.

Milan Chovanec, Minister of the Interior of the Czech Republic

“We are going to the Court of Justice of the European Union to ask for the abolition of this directive, possibly its suspension or that an exception be introduced for certain member states and of course in particular for the Czech Republic,” said the Minister Republic of the Interior, Milan Chovanec.

“A punishment of the legitimate owners of weapons is unacceptable because the weapons legally detained and banned by the directive have no connection with terrorism,” Chovanec said. “Not only is this decision likely to destroy people’s trust in the EU,” he added, “but it could even have a negative impact on the internal security of the Czech Republic because a large number of weapons could end up on the black market. “

Moreover, the Czech government relies heavily on the cooperation of legal holders of firearms in the event of an attack threatening the sovereignty of the Czech Republic, particularly in the event of a terrorist attack.

There are currently more than 800,000 weapons of all categories registered with 300,000 owners in the Czech Republic (population 10.6 million).

  1. Compare that to America, where the US government actually has through an act of Congress a program, the Civilian Marksmanship Program, that sells surplus munitions to US citizens to increase civilian skills for battle.

    • After the Civil War some retired Union Generals started the NRA to improve civilian marksmanship so the US citizens would be ready to help protect our nation. Despite what the left The Second Amendment was put into the Constitution to protect our God Given Right of self defense, this includes defense against our own government if/when it turns oppressive.

      A few comments for those who think the Second Amendment applies to the States only. The Second Amendment was written because “The People” objected to the fact that there was nothing in the Constitution stopping the government of seizing civilian weapons. The people doing the objecting has just fought a long hard war ()often with their privately owned weapons) against what they considered an oppressive government, does anyone capable of critical thought really believe they would sign on to letting the Government be the only people with weapons?

      Despite the left doing their best to spin things the vast majority of Judges and historians say that the Second Amendment is an individual right.

      How many in Europe wish that your Constitutions had a Second Amendment?
