Firearms Legislation

Firearms Legislation is a formal legal framework within national or international regulatory systems that specifically governs the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, and use of small arms and light weapons, distinguishing it from broader security or criminal laws by its focused institutional control mechanisms and normative objectives aimed at reducing illicit trafficking and unauthorized access.
