Here Are All the Gun Control Laws that Affect Cuba’s Freedom Protesters

As thousands of Cubans protest against the island’s communist regime, stringent gun control laws from Havana negatively impact their efforts.

Whereas in the United States, it is common parlance to say the gun rights enumerated in the Second Amendment protect the all the other rights outlined in the Bill of Rights, in Cuba the people are not allowed any claim to a natural right to keep and bear arms. This creates a disadvantage as Cubans fight for freedom.

The University of Syndey’s GunPolicy.org highlights the “restrictive” gun control measures in Cuba. Those controls include a ban on large swathes of firearms and require those who want to own legal guns the regime recognizes as legal to first acquire a license. The process for getting a license includes “[establishing] a genuine reason to possess a firearm.” Cubans who are able to get a license “must re-apply and re-qualify for their firearm license every ten years.”

The would-be firearm owner also has to go through a background check “which considers criminal, mental health, health, and addiction records.” The overall process for purchasing a gun is not set in stone, as GunPolicy.org notes. “The minimum wait for a lawful firearm purchase to be completed is undetermined.”

All purchased firearms must be registered, all private sales are prohibited by law, and “the right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by law.”

Carrying a firearm openly in public is illegal and carrying a concealed firearm in public is prohibited by law as well.

If we were to,list our nation’s gun laws,all in one place, it would take pages and pages (but, according to the ,eft, none of the 10’s of thousands of them are ‘sensible gun laws’)

And I lived there before it was a state. So their state laws don’t apply to me. 😂 We’ll see how that works out if i ever go there again. Which is doubtful.

We should build a better and modern cheap “Liberator” pistol and drop them everywhere. A super cheap Glock or SD-9VE clone.

In old America we would have.

Background check: You are a high ranking member of the Communist party? You’re good to go. Sort of like CT or NY.

The irony is that the FBI likely has information ID’ing scores of potential mass shooters here in the US that they’re sitting on, as many believe, and could help out by sending all of them, fully armed, to Cuba.

From the photo, the Orwellian Cuban police are noticeably bigger and more muscular than the skinny prols they torture.
