I don't get #4. What are these special licenses? How tough are they to get and is everyone in Austria eligible to get one or is there a quote on the number? Also are all guns allowed to these people with special licenses? Just curious :)
In most the EU and other sites, how it works is, if they see anyone with a gun, they can ask to see your license, to make sure you bought the gun legally. I think you'd actually like this system better, since the EU has a far lower murder rate than America, despite like living settings, and also there's more freedom on what kinds of guns you can get (as I understand, in America, for example, you can't have automatic guns - well, in the EU, you can.). Also, you get a license by basically having a non-violent criminal record and a pyschologic evaluation to make sure you're not mad.
