From the BBC: Police seek EU gun laws rethink

So what exactly are the chances of banning/heavily regulating 8mm blank guns (and other blank guns) Europe wide?

In my opinion, none. Too many places have a proven positive use for them to support a ban. In places like Spain and Germany they're commonly used as a way of firing CS gas at someone. If we push for a ban all they'll do is laugh at us.

I think Germany will go along with a ban,there are alot more pressures on their government.Another country with a large anti gun lobby.

Well if you want my take I bet Spain and Germany readily go along.

Now I doubt the Czechs will.
