Arrr mateys! The scallywags in the Czech Senate be makin' it harder fer us pirates to get our hands on firearms! Watch out fer President Petr Pavel, he be signin' it soon! Aye aye, me hearties!
In the jolly ol' land of Czech Republic, the Parliament's upper house, the Senate, has finally given their stamp of approval to tighten up the gun laws after a tragic mass killing that shook the nation to its core. The lower house had already given their nod of approval, so all that's left is for President Petr Pavel to sign on the dotted line - which we all know is just a mere formality.Arrr, on that dreadful day of Dec. 22, a scallywag of a shooter took the lives of 14 innocent souls before turning the gun on himself at a Charles University building in downtown Prague. The scallywag had a license to own not one, not two, but eight guns, including a pair of long ones, yet nary a criminal record to be found.The new law will have gun owners visit the doc every five years for a check-up, instead of every 10. Businesses will need to report any shady gun purchases, and doctors will have access to databases to suss out if their patients are packin' heat. The Senate joined the lower house in giving a hearty 'aye' to the legislation in a 66-1 vote.Ye best believe that once the president signs on the dotted line, the authorities will have the power to take away a weapon from a privateer on a whim. In a land of 10.9 million, there be 314,000 folks with a gun license and almost a million weapons afloat.
