Uus relvaseadus lubaks rohkem laskemoona

New firearms law would allow more ammunition

Valitsus soovib muuta seadust, et saaksid rohkem laskemoona hoiustada. Praegu on lubatud 5000 padrunit, uus number oleks 10 000. Jahirelvadele oleks lubatud 1000 padrunit, praegu on 300.

Muudatused on vajalikud, sest oli . Rohkem laskemoona tähendab, et ostetakse harvem ja pole nii palju probleeme .

Uus seadus teeb ka relvade registreerimise ja hoiustamise lihtsamaks. Relvaloa saamise aeg pikeneb kolmelt kuult kuuele kuule.

Advokaat Aku Sorainen ütleb, et muudatused on head, kuid seaduses on veel vigu. Näiteks Eestis võetakse relvaloa kohe ära, kui inimene teeb väiksegi vea. Soomes saab politsei otsustada, kas luba ära võtta.

Sorainen ei nõustu ka sellega, et . Ta arvab, et see on .

Eestis on umbes 25 000 inimest, kellel on . Iga 100 inimese kohta on Eestis ligi 5 relva. Soomes on sama number palju suurem – 32 relva 100 inimese kohta.

The government wants to amend the law to allow gun owners to store more ammunition. Currently, 5,000 rounds are permitted for sporting firearms, the new number would be 10,000. For hunting firearms, 1,000 rounds would be allowed, currently it is 300.

The changes are necessary because there were problems with ammunition during the war in Ukraine. More ammunition means purchases are made less frequently and there are fewer issues with supplies.

The new law will also make firearm registration and storage easier. The time to obtain a firearms license will increase from three to six months.

Lawyer Aku Sorainen says the changes are good, but there are still flaws in the law. For example, in Estonia, a firearms license is immediately revoked if a person makes even a small mistake. In Finland, the police can decide whether to revoke the license.

Sorainen also disagrees with the idea that children should not be allowed to handle firearms. He believes this is an unnecessary restriction.

In Estonia, there are about 25,000 people with firearms licenses. For every 100 people, there are nearly 5 firearms in Estonia. In Finland, the same number is much higher – 32 firearms per 100 people.
