Wish a PIL could be filed by some legal wizards.

Could someone enlighten me as to the applicability of the Arms Act in the States. Do the State legislatures have to approve this act and can they make local/state specific amendments?.

This was an update just an hour ago. No cheer but it seems the ammendment is done allowing 2 firearms instead of 3. Can anyone confirm?

Please don't fall for the wrong reports in the media. The above pdf file shows exactly what was filed in Lok Sabha today, that is the reduction from 3 to 1 firearm only. While it was discussed earlier to reduce it to 2 firearms, this was further modified to one.
The media reports seem to be in a time lag, and has not caught on yet.

Anand

Also please note the Errata, it mentions further corrections which seemed to have been missing from the HMs note.

the objects of the act are to come down on illegal weapons but they are coming down heavily on legal licenced weapons !

Possibly but it seems this is the latest news as of today (ammended for 2) even as per the economic times and business standard.

Hi SMJ,
please read the above pdf file, that is downloaded from the Lok Sabha website, which was introduced this afternoon at 12:05. So there is no other latest version.

I am being extremely polite as of now only because it's a public forum, but your posts are disrespectful to say the least.

It seems with this Government November is a black month, when they come up with the worst ideas! Few years back it was Demonetisation and now it is this! Getting sick and tired of their hair-brained schemes and ideas.
