   Gun control is very strict in the Netherlands. You are only allowed to have a gun when you join a sport shooting club or for hunting. The police will do a mandatory background check. You’ll have to store the gun and ammo in two separate safes and you need to have special containers for travelling to the shooting range. You are only allowed to use your gun on the shooting range or the forest/land you have your hunting permit for. The police is allowed to check those safety precautions and you can have you permit revoked if there are any irregularities. In the Netherlands there are 57.250 people with a gun permit and they own 184.000 guns, on a total of 17 million inhabitants.
