Adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs emphasized that in order to avoid the negative consequences of the legalization of weapons, Ukraine should take into account the experience and legislative acts of other countries.

Separately, Denisenko noted the strict observance of checks on the mental state of persons wishing to obtain permission to possess weapons..

“As for the restrictions, first of all, these are the problems of mental illness.. There should be not just a certificate that can be bought for 100-200 hryvnias, but there should be a real examination of a person, which takes into account certain criteria by which they are made. It is clear that a person should not be previously judged,” Denisenko said..
