Firearms were introduced into Europe in the fourteenth century. Since then, European nations have sought to limit the availability of firearms and restrict their access to the province of the moneyed classes and the military. For example, English game laws, first passed in 1671, allowed for the seizure of weapons from those who were not eligible to hunt—effectively limiting the privilege of the sport to wealthy landowners through much of the nineteenth century.
