This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
This is not a fair practice Of The bill especially in reducing limit/number of weapons on one Arms license.
Government should amend this bill under Exemption with Only Extreme focus over the illegal Use of firearms and other Serious related issues for the same:-
Just like –
1) celebratory firing
2) illegal manufacturing
3) theft Or snatching of the same
4) imprisonment tenure
5) illicit trafficking And etc….
This article puts the point across very well. The other questions id like to pose to the govt,( cong / Bjp/ other) is what are their plans on eliminating illegal guns from our country? I doubt they have any plan at all. Rather than deprive the law abiding citizenry of the right to keep and bear arms the Govt must shift focus and eliminate illegal weapons esp those in criminal hands- which are actually used against the state and for committing violent crimes.
This suggested change in law also throws up the issue of govts trusting citizens.The brits introduced the licencing system and it is now being mademore n more stringent .I think all Brit made laws need to be revisited and amended.
Before the Brits there were no licencing laws and all Indians were free to carry arms. Considering it was a done thing, arms etiquette was a subject a child learnt at home from parents .and other elders. arms licence holders know how difficult it is to procure an arms licence – this is borne out from the fact that of 125 crore +citizens only around 40 lakh licences have been issued. Further the govt should check from NCRB records as to how many much crime is committed using licenced V/S unlicensed or illegal arms.
. It’s time the government followed Brazil’s example and allowed easier access of arms to the general public – after background checks – to protect themselves, their loved ones and their property.
Confiscating legal licensed guns to curb illegal guns and crime?!? Makes no sense whatsoever. Their own data backs the contention that legal licensed guns are used in statistically insignificant number of crimes.
It seems some misguided people with a jaundiced world view have drafted these ill conceived amendments to the Arms Act 1959
Gov doesn’t seems to have its ear on ground.. gov shld promote law abiding citizens to arm themselves.. provide incentives..as criminals prey on weak defenceless
