from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Finland:

"Guns and other weapons are tightly regulated. One must separately apply for a gun license, which cannot be given for "security reasons". Membership of a shooting or hunting club, or owning hunting lands is required. Even other weapons, such as pepper sprays, are regulated. Carrying weapons, including guns and knives, in public is not allowed."


Maybe that counts as "lax"?
Lax as in compared to the other European countries. You can still own semi-autos. You can even have silencers there.
