The Acquisition, ownership, carrying and use of automatic firearms would be forbidden under changes in the Law on Explosive Substances, Firearms and Ammunition, discussed for second reading in Parliament on November 8 2007.
In exceptional cases, the use of firearms could be allowed under a special permit by the Interior Minster, Bulgarian News Agency BTA reported.
Exceptions would be allowed for guards of high-risk objects, BTA said.
The proposed changes had previously been accepted in first reading in October 2007.

 | I wonder if "automatic firearms" includes semi-automatic firearms. I imagine it does.
This is sad. Bulgarian citizens deserve their freedom which has been historically denied.
Firearm laws do not turn bad people into good people and good people do not use firearms to harm others. All that firearm laws can do is punish good people. |  |

| I agree. The laws should cover acts, not objects. In the US we have the same problem: full-auto firearms have been tightly controlled since 1934; criminals, dissidents, and terrorists have no problems acquiring and using full-auto firearms, yet as far as I am aware only one [1] legally-owned full-auto firearm has been involved in a crime. That weapon was used in drug trafficking by a police officer. Yet the demand here is for tighter firearms laws. Ironically, Bulgarian-made firearms, in the form of semi-automatic AKMs were very popular until they were banned by changes in import laws. | |
