Background Information<\/h2>\n

FIREARMS UNITED was founded Dariusz Dura, Andrzej Turczyn, Rafa\u0142 P\u0119cherzewski from Poland and Janusz Michalik, Katja Triebel from Germany in October 2013 when Cecilia Malmstr\u00f6m, former Commissioner of the DG HOME \u2013 Section for Interiors in the European Commission (COM) \u2013 presented her \u201cAction Plan on (against) Firearms\u201d.<\/p>\n

FIREARMS UNITED brings together more than 100 million law-abiding gun owners in Europe. These include reservists, hunters, sport shooters, collectors, firearm dealers, manufacturers, security professionals, range operators and ordinary citizens who own not restricted weapons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our campaign against the Commission’s proposal to amend the Firearms Directive 91\/477:<\/p>\n

What’s going on in Brussels? Available in four languages<\/a><\/h2>\n

Our position:<\/h2>\n

The current Firearms Directive is an effective tool for security and does not unnecessarily obstruct legal activity. EU Member States that faithfully transposed the Directive into their national laws and applied proper enforcement enjoy positive results. What is necessary is further collaboration between Member States to learn from those that successfully applied the Directive effectively and to implement measures that harmonise the procedures for better control. That is the way to earn citizens\u2019 trust and cooperation in keeping Europe safe.<\/p>\n

We approve harmonising standards and rules for deactivation, blank weapons and markings.<\/p>\n

We disapprove the whole “Proposal for a Directive amending Council Directive 91\/477\/EEC”<\/p>\n

At the moment we are an independent \u201cOnline Campaign Network<\/strong>\u201d which is supported by lots of registered national associations. The next step for a worldwide registered association is in progress. Since 2013 we\u00a0are publishing facts of the benefit of legal gun ownership. Since 2015 we actively fight against the proposal of the European Commission.<\/p>\n

FIREARMS UNITED in Media<\/a><\/h3>\n

We knew that the Commission\u00a0wanted to implement stricter rules for legal gun ownership. When the Flemish Peace Institute presented its biased \u201cstudy\u201d on gun ownership and gun crime in July 2015 with support of the DG Home we knew that it\u2019s time to counteract. That is the reason why we published our well visited Firearm Reports during the next months.<\/p>\n
