De Groenen brought an “urgent application” to the National Council on Thursday, which demands that private individuals are no longer allowed to have firearms. For example, there must be exceptions for hunters. The government’s plans are not going that far.
This is intended to increase the minimum age for the acquisition of particularly dangerous firearms from 21 to 25 years. The gun possession card is limited to eight years for the first time owners. Moreover, the results of the psychological research must also be accessible to the Weapon Authority in the future. In the case of deviations, one to ten years of weapons can be prohibited.
The background is the killing Spree in Graz, in which nine students and a teacher died. The 21-year-old perpetrator had treated intensively with school masses and got a weapon, although he had failed at the Psychotest of the army. Now a committee must come together during the parliamentary holidays and prepare a template for the plenary meeting. A new arms law must then be launched before the school starts.
Where even more about the National Council debates
Especially when it comes to urgent measures, the parliamentary process should not stop before the summer, said Neos -parliamentary group leader Yannick Shetty. VP club chairman August Wöginger said the government responded quickly after the murderous Spree in Graz.
Further content in the National Council is a new partial council and changes in partial pension on Thursday; Templates from the judicial area as a criminal offense to photos of genitals and a ban on marriages before the 18th birthday; As well as a new regulation of taxes on the tip. During the tip, the Neos brake, which requires a “non -deskcratic solution”. In principle, tips are subject to social security contributions in Austria. In the past, the amounts were difficult to check, and now they seem to increase by increasing card payments in the registration substances.
