3. New Zealand

New Zealand is one of those countries that proudly asserts its high usage level of firearm ownership. New Zealand Police do a serious job to increase safety measures and presentably reduce potential deaths and injuries previously caused by fire\arms very successfully. Bayonets, knuckledusters, some types of knives (the ones with automatically opening blades or the knives with more than 10 cm long blade), or any kind of firearms disguised as other devices (e.g., walking stick shotguns) are strongly prohibited in this country. You do not need a license if you want to use a sporting firearm. The only condition which must be fulfilled is to be under constant supervision by a license holder. The Seven Firearms Safety Rules better known as ‘Arms Code’ are special safety programs which are required for all future applicants that include spatial training sessions. On our list of countries with no gun laws and low crime, this country came third due to the fact that crime rate in New Zealand is quite low while the number of homicides by guns per 100,000 people is 0.16. You can find more info about New Zealand firearms guides and standards on New Zealand Police.
