Abstract
This Issue Paper provides English translations of Colombian gun control statutes and the arms-related provisions of Colombia’s present and past constitutions. The Issue Paper also provides a history of the arms provisions in Colombia’s constitutions over the last two centuries, and in the Spanish law that preceded them. In addition to translating the modern gun control statutes, the Issue Paper presents a narrative explanation of the most important provisions. From colonial days to the present, Colombian law has presumed that many Colombians will own and carry firearms for sports and for self-defense. Contemporary laws continue this tradition, in the context of a system of regulation.
