weapon restrictions
Limits on armaments
Weapon restrictions are legal limitations on the manufacture, sale, possession, or use of weapons—typically firearms, but also knives, explosives, or other arms.
These may include background checks, waiting periods, licensing requirements, or outright bans on certain weapon types: The city imposed strict weapon restrictions after the shooting.
The phrase often appears in debates over gun control and Second Amendment rights.
