“The PNP should rethink this new move and stick to its core mission of law enforcement and crime prevention”
It is true some so-called safeguards were announced but those safeguards are actually already in force.What could have been in the minds of the PNP leadership that instead of reducing the number of firearms in the hands of civilians, semi-automatic weapons can now be licensed by them?We are now like the United States that allows ownership of semi-automatic firearms such as AR 15.
It does not make any sense at all. One would think the PNP would be the first to prevent gun proliferation instead of promoting it.When I was still in the service, the amount collected from firearm licensing was already in the hundreds of millions.So, one can imagine how much that collection must be today with increased fees and all.
Instead of the PNP keeping quiet and just let those who were for or against debate the issue, the PNP joined those opposing the recreational use of marijuana.In this current case, however, it is a truism that more guns in the hand of people means more crimes using guns not less. It is not true what some PNP officials are saying that deaths by the use of firearms here is negligible.There is not a day that there is no reported death by the use of firearms. Yet, the PNP wants more firearms in the hands of the public.
