We broke the first evidence of interest in weapons in the year of invasion of Ukraine, then 37 402 weapons were issued – collectible, sports and hunting. The number of permits reached 40,867. At the end of 2023 there were 844 1000 legal pieces, registered, rifles, guns and rifles in the hands of Poles. In years 2014 – 2023 The number of permits issued annually increased almost six times and the number of weapons held more than twice. If Poles are armed at this rate, the number of weapons will shortly scope a million. That's good. auVolunteers of arming the nation due to the fact that we are far behind in this area.
There is nothing to mention about the level of the USA and Switzerland, but we are preceded by Germany, which already in 2018 had almost 16 million weapons, French – almost 13 million, Italians – over 8.6 million, and Czechs – over 1.3 million. At the same time, Poles had only little than a million pieces. As far as the number of guns per head is concerned, the statistic do not support us either: Poland – 2.5 pieces, Germany – over 19, Czechs – 12, Austrians – almost 30. So we're trying to make up for it. – I think we inactive have the story of the inaccessibility of weapons, the fear of her, but it's fading. We're with guns at a point like we were with a licence a 100 years ago. erstwhile it was something elite, at the minute it is common – says Maciej, who infects others with his passion.
– I've already talked any friends into shooting, they've got approval today. Luke takes his children to the shooting range. The boy learned to shoot erstwhile he was 11, the daughter – nine. – I think there's nothing incorrect with teaching kids how to usage guns. Safety is the key. We're at a phase where I give my kids bullets and a gun, they burden themselves, prepare themselves and wait for the command. They know where the safe direction is, they don't look at the barrel. erstwhile they shoot, I am 1 step distant from them, watching... erstwhile a boy wants to see a rifle, I just take it out of the closet. He loves to reload a shotgun, just like kids usually see only in games or in movies.
