formal infringement proceedings against UK or other member state and refer them eventually to the European Court of Justice (Monitoring the application of Union law, 2014 ). However, I would first and foremost like to advise UK government on the ‘functions’ of EU directives as soon as they are aware of it and understand the implications, we will together look at the EU directive on Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, their parts and components ammunition before I would then establish whether UK government is in breach of the EU directives or not. What are the functions of EU directives? Meanwhile, ‘EU directives set out the policy which needs to be attained by the member states and it enforce or establishes common social …show more content…
This is a sensible move which recognises the culturally and socially differences between different countries of the EU. However, given the fact that directives take a lot longer to implement as they must be put into law by the member states, the EU will often use regulations to ensure the legislation is directly applicable and where appropriate does not leave room for a different slant on the legislation by different member states’ (What are EU directives?, Copyright © 2015 FindLaw, a Thomson Reuters business. All rights reserved). Having advised the UK government on the functions of EU directives, it is important that we also go through the Directives 91/477/ECC and Regulation No 258/2012 which prohibition of export of fire arms out of the EU. • Directive 91/477/ECC controls the sell and use of firearms by the civilians in the EU territory. • Regulation No 258/2012 ‘establishes rules for export authorisation and import and transit measures for firearms, their components and ammunition and also has the scope to cover firearms made for civilian use. However, this Regulation implements article 10 of the United Nations protocols against the illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms and Article 10 requires signatories to adopt or improve administrative procedures designed to exercise control over the manufacturing, marking, import and export of firearms’. • Article 11 of Regulation No
* The U.S. doesn't even require a background check every time a gun is sold and allows the sale of assault clips holding more than 10 bullets. This makes it easy for dangerous people to get their hands on lethal firepower.
There are not many restrictions on the distributions of guns. Guns are sold to any one
In about every nation, gun control has always been an issue of controversy. Gun control laws are quite different from country to country, each possessing different requirements, specifications, and ordinances, so on and so on. What will be examined are the specified gun control laws in three international countries, ranging from Canada, Australia, and Japan, as well as a comparison and contrast of the the similarities and unique differences toward American gun control laws and those in other countries, and finally, the effects of having loose gun control laws. Unlike America, these countries possess stricter laws regarding gun control.
Gun control is among top controversial issues that affect the people of USA (Lund, 2015). The battle on who is allowed to own a gun has received debates from different sides. This has therefore called for constitutional reforms in bills and laws that govern the use of firearms. Firearm regulations help to set policies which govern, regulate on acquisition and access to guns by civilians. In the USA many changes have been made concerning manufacturing, selling and transportation of
Over this past decade, an increase in mass shootings has raised a concern in the control of firearms. With the ever-growing number of shootings, the death rate due to firearms has intensified. Thus, the controversy over gun control has caused society to push the government to re-evaluate the regulation of firearms in the United States. Hence, in order to keep and provide a safe environment for American citizens without fear of death by firearm, the government should regulate firearms.
All laws regarding handling of firearms should be made aware to them. This may seem severe to some people. But as earlier stated these very strict laws are a subject to difference between the America and Europe in the number of gun related deaths (Winkler, 2011).
Australia’s gun control laws need to change in order to protect innocent civilians from the increasing resurgence of illegal firearms. The system is riddled with loopholes that enable illegal guns to be trafficked from overseas countries. The main issue is that there is a rising increase in illegal firearms and whether Australia’s current laws are enough to combat the ongoing problem. There are problems in the system were illegal guns manage to get through customs due to loopholes in the system. The legislation, cases, stakeholders and recommendation regarding the change in gun laws to prevent illegal firearms will be discussed.
Donodue examines gun laws in other advanced countries throughout the world. The policies discussed are substantially

From the dawn of the United States the government has created laws regulating firearm ownership. These regulations address everyone from gun sellers to owners and are constantly changing.

The following is milestone in gun control process in the United States.
As part of the European Union, the UK is a subject to European law, with European law having authority and take the place of any domestic law. This means that domestic law should be done in the same way with European law.
Enforcing the European Union legal system is diverse and done on multiple platforms; through not only actions taken against member states for breach of their obligations, but also, for example, through the use of direct effect1. Article 267 TFEU; an organism devised to practice private enforcement of EU law before national courts, has been critical to ensure uniform interpretation and application of EU law in member states. References for preliminary rulings occur when the national courts are presented with a question of EU law due to uncertainty of the provision. The national court will therefore ‘make a reference to the Court of Justice (COJ) to obtain a preliminary ruling on any point of EU law relevant to the proceedings’2. In
Similarly, it is also essential to develop secondary laws for free movement of goods for implementing on agreement when trading with member countries. Additionally, it will be effective for European Commission or Member States to move towards institutionalisation and setup supranational bodies (Szydlo, 2010).
In the aftermath of the 1957 Treaty , the European Economic Community (EEC) was established and customs barriers between the member states have been abolished. Member States throughout the Community, can “promote a harmonious development of economic activities, a continuous and balanced expansion, an increased stability, an accelerated raising of the standard of living and closer relations between them”. Therefore, in order for a common market to be established between Member States, the Community enacted some legislative provisions which aimed to a true harmonization of laws; incorporate different legal systems under a basic legal framework. The main issue arising is whether these legal provisions in accordance with the case law, ensured the free movement of goods within this market.
