Are there any countries that are less restrictive when it comes to owning guns? Basically is there anywhere you can legally buy full auto and other fun items?

No first world countries that I can think of.

There's a member over on the M14Forum who is from Luxembourg. He has a very impressive collection of full auto guns. Unfortunately, while Luxembourg's firearm laws allow him to buy any number of fully operative machine guns for his collection, he is not legally allowed to shoot them anywhere. Only semiauto and manual action firearms are allowed to be fired, and only at official shooting ranges. (And Luxembourg's gun law may be changing shortly, in light of the recent push for all EU member countries to implement strict gun laws.)


A quick Google shows that Pakistan has extremely permissive gun laws, including allowing private ownership of full auto guns.

There is only ONE nation on earth where the RIGHT to keep and bear arms is written into the founding document - you ALL know which country THAT is, right?

All other civilised countries have laws to control gun onwership to one level or another, and all 3rd world countries do just what they please, so in answer to your question, yes, there are countries with even less gun control than the USA, but you really don't want to be going to any of them any time soon.

Gun laws seemed to be very relaxed in Yemen

100% agree with tacfoley.
Here is just my experience:
Somalia-a few years ago, was able to get a full auto AK-47 for about $900, it was probably 15 years old with poor maintenance. Bought a spare for about $1,100, that was better. Ammo is cheap.

Kenya-bought a Glock 19 for $2,200 (yup, a SIG P2022 was close to $3,000), CCW cost about $500. 9mm ammo is about $1.50/round.

S. Sudan-Full auto AK-47 cost $400 (probably cheap due to them getting them for free) and ammo is super cheap. The rebels sell ammo for food to the tribes in Kenya and Uganda.

So, none that you want to visit anytime soon.

The best way to always win a fight or get your way is to eliminate any ways for your opponent to fight back.
