guns are not allowed

Not only guns, but also dogs and cigarettes are not allowed in this building. Well, it is not a joke, I guess. You see this kind of "no guns" signs many places in Macedonia. It is said there are 80,000 and 120,000 items of illegal weaponry in Macedonia, such as Kalashnikov automatic rifles, machine guns, bombs and grenades.... well, it sounds like a post-conflict country. Many of those weapons have remained uncollected despite few time efforts of international organizations. It is also a part of realities in Macedonia.

ドアのところに「銃器禁止」のサインが「犬禁止」と「タバコ禁止」とともにあったりして。ジョークじゃなくて本気だと思いますよ。なんせマケドニアには8万から12万の不法銃器類があるといわれているんですから。人口200万人の国でねえ。こう聞くとマケドニアも昔(といってもそう遠くない昔)に紛争があった国なんだなあ、ってカンジしますね。
