I’m from France. Getting a rifle is pretty easy, you “just” have to get a psych evaluation and a shooting club registration / hunting license. But that gets you long, manual weapons with small magazines. You can keep the gun if your license expires.

Then you can get a stronger license if your shooting club vets for you. This allows you to get handguns and semi auto rifles.

Any auto gun or explosive is basically only authorized for use for the military.

Oh and anything that can be used as a weapon is prohibited from being carried around in public spaces (yes, it is that vague), and protective equipment is subject to authorization as well (gas masks, bulletproof vests etc)

You can read more on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_France

Edit: Wikipedia does not seem to explain it, but A class weapons are basically military only. B class is what you get through shooting club vetting. C class is for anyone registered by a club / hunting license. D is adults only, with exceptions for criminals etc

Oh no doubt about that. And I really hope other apps do catch up, having one “best app” isn’t super healthy

That’s exactly it

Not open source, payment if you don’t want ads. Valid criticisms, but it’s still the best app UX wise, by far, so the blame is not on the users, it’s on open source projects to do better

troll bots

Lemmy really is becoming reddit lmao, are these bots in the room with us right now?

You’re not paying for the API, you’re paying for the dev time.

Mom I’d like to frog

As insignificant as it was I actually liked having karma
