Ukraine is working on weapon legalization.

The Ukrainian Parliament supported the bill on the right to civilian firearms in the first reading, which is designed to start legalizing weapons in Ukraine, reported 112UA.  The price of an ordinary pistol, nonlethal pistol, or rifle is not higher, and sometimes even lower, than the cost of an iPhone. But it is still impossible to legally exercise one’s constitutional right to self-defense in Ukraine, unlike Georgia, Moldova, the Baltic countries, and several other states. This issue was put on the agenda many times, but the matter never progressed to adoption of the relevant law. The bill “On the right to civilian firearms” is the fourth attempt to legalize it by the members of the current gathering of parliament. According to experts, despite some problems that need improvement, it is the most promising attempt to date.
