If you question is about guns then you can legally own hunting rifle or rifles that will have to be registered by the Police and there is a relatively easy procedure to do that. If you want to use them you have to have a hunting permit issued yearly and there are a few different kinds depending on where you will use them. Other types of guns are only legally owned and under Police permission in very specific cases and those licences are not easy to obtain.
Of course you can have a gun bought illegaly but once found you stand heavy prison terms because they are considered and treated as terrorist weapons.
Yes, guns (and gus's) are regulated, but there are quite a few illegal weapons in circulation.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
