Mieux encadrer les armes à feu létales dites historiques et de collection

This is a French private member's bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) tabled in the National Assembly during the 17th legislature. It aims to strengthen the regulation of lethal firearms classed as 'historic' or 'collector' weapons, which are currently subject to lighter controls than modern guns. Such weapons can still be dangerous, and the bill seeks to close gaps that could allow them to be misused. Based on the title only, the aim is tighter oversight of their possession, acquisition and circulation. The bill would mainly affect collectors, gun dealers, museums and reenactment groups who own or trade in historic firearms. Public authorities responsible for weapons licensing and policing would also be affected by any new controls. The exact obligations depend on the final text, which is not reflected in this metadata summary.
