Pakistan does not have a constitutionally enshrined right to bear arms like the United States' 2nd Amendment. The Pakistani Constitution focuses on the right to life and security, with no specific provision dedicated to gun ownership.
While the right to own a firearm is not explicitly guaranteed, Pakistan's legal framework does allow for the possession of firearms under certain conditions.
Individuals can obtain licenses to own firearms for specific purposes, such as hunting or self-defense, after undergoing a background check and fulfilling legal requirements.
However, the Pakistani government maintains strict control over firearms ownership and regulates the types of firearms allowed.
Pakistan's approach to gun control reflects its focus on national security and public safety, prioritizing the prevention of violence and the maintenance of order.
