Question 43708 — weapons

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Travert draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the ban on the acquisition and possession of “transformed weapons of war” and its impact on sports shooters practicing shooting with regulatory weapons. Decree No. 2021-1403 reinforcing the ban on the acquisition and possession of certain firearms returns to the possibility of continuing to possess transformed automatic repeating weapons in semi-automatic weapons, permitted by the decree of June 29, 2018. Consequently, holders of these weapons will have to give them up or have them given up within one year from November 1, 2021. However, these transformed war weapons are generally part of the so-called B and C categories which are used in the context of sports shooting. These old military weapons intended for burst firing have been definitively transformed to allow only single-shot firing (semi-automatic repeating fire). Also, he asks if an exemption could be considered which would allow the necessary fight against illegal arms trafficking to coexist with the civilian practice of sports shooting.
