  • I mean I guess it’s a better system then just being able to walk into a random store and just buy a gun. In my country we have a pretty strict gun control you need have not committed any crimes and be able to get a document from the government saying so, you’ll also need the following;

    1. be part of a gun club, which itself has a cool down period of several months and they can refuse you for whatever reason they see fit
    2. have a minimum amount of shooting days per year
    3. have to participate in the yearly contest for one of the different disciplines possible at the club
    4. have to be a continuous member of previously mentioned club at least one year before you can even apply for your first licence
    5. your first licence can only be in a single .22 weapon, this weapons will be registered to you as a person and your place of residence
    6. your gun and ammo needs to be in separate safe’s, also the gun may not be stored in a loaded state
    7. after you have the weapon you will be checked at random and you need to be able to show the weapon at the visiting police officer immediately, or if you cannot show it at the local police station within a few days after the visit. if they visit they will check if your safe('s) are properly mounted to wall/floor
    8. have to extend your licence yearly
    9. if you fail the checks or violate any laws you will lose your license and you will need to either store your weapon(s) at a registered location or sell them, evidence of both will need to be shared with the police. you can apply for a new licence after one year of probation
    10. the maximum amount of weapons you can have registered at any time is 5

    Firearms are either considered a part of sport (hence the clubs) of for hunting which has their own subset of rules. You can never have any full automatic firearms, those are considered for military use only.


  • It’s a plate to mount your chain guard to, the only way to remove or replace those is if you remove the entire crank bearing because it is mounted though that to keep it in place.

    • First you’ll need to remove the cranks, pop the plastic cover, and use a 14 mm socket to remove the bolt, you can either use a dead-blow carefully or use a bicycle crank puller if you have one (this is easier).
    • You’ll need a specialized tool to remove the cups, however looking at the retaining ring on the other side it looks like this one is metal. If you have a blunt chisel and a hammer you can try and use that. But be careful, you do not want to damage the threads in the bike, if you do that there is no way to fix them and you can throw it away.
    • After removing the entire bearing hub is out, the chain guard mounting place can be removed and you can reassemble the bike again if you are not replacing it with a new one.
    • I don’t know for sure anymore but it can be that the fasteners are all tightening towards the front, meaning one will tighten clockwise and the other side counter clockwise.

    This is based on my previous experience working in a bicycle repair shop.
