Firearm regulations are laws and policies that govern the sale, possession, and use of firearms. These regulations vary widely between countries and even within regions of the same country. They often include background checks, age restrictions, and licensing requirements to ensure that firearms are kept out of the hands of individuals deemed a risk to themselves or others. In many places, firearm regulations also dictate how firearms can be carried, stored, and transported. For example, some areas may require firearms to be stored in locked containers, while others may have specific rules about carrying firearms in public spaces. These regulations aim to promote safety and reduce gun-related incidents.
