weapons netherlands
Where do I find the list of weapons referenced in this Netherlands weapon law?
<p>I am reading the <a href="https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0008804/2013-01-01" rel="nofollow noreferrer">wet wapens en munitie</a>, which is the Dutch law concerning possession of weapons and ammunition.</p>
<p>In this law there is frequent referrence to &quot;bij regeling van Onze Minister aangewezen voorwerpen die geschikt zijn om daarmee personen ernstig lichamelijk letsel toe te brengen&quot; (approxiately: <em>objects designated by the OM as suitable for causing serious physical injury to people</em>).</p>
<p>Is there any place where I can find a comprehensive list of objects marked as such, or does the minister simply decide on a case by case basis whether the object carried by a person is or is not a weapon?</p>

<p>The secondary legislation related to this law is the <a href="https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0008800/2019-10-11" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Regeling wapens en munitie</a>; as far as I can see, it does not contain a definition for category IV.6, the category that matches the particular description you mention, but it does make reference to that article in the preamble.</p>
<p>In general, the law itself delegates the authority to define weapons that match this category to the Minister of Justice and Security; this would generally be implemented as a piece of secondary legislation, a ministerial order (ministeriële regeling). It would not be ruled on on a case by case basis.</p>
