Ironically Buta Singh's son was arrested on Arms Act charges a few years back (karma can be a real b*tch ).
Lets not forget the 2010 order, under his watch (as Home Minister), the negative fallout of which order is still stifling issuance of arms licenses nationwide.

That is bad news, indeed.
Us Indians specialize in such things!
All over the world, a dipper means, "you go". In Indi-Pak-Bang only, it means, "Ruk, BC!"
We made same sized coins of different denomination!
We inverted the concept of concealed carry on its ******* and mandated that a gun or its likeness should just not be visible!
What to do only?

I wonder if members here know who 'really' was behind the 3 gun limit. I have been told by several senior people & a gun dealer, that there was an active lobby of gun dealers from Delhi, Bombay, Central & South India who were behind introducing the 3 gun limit for an individual.mundaire wrote:Chidambaram is known to have staunchly anti-gun views and whenever he has had a say in things, the laws have changed for the worse!

The logic being that dealers wanted a total ban on imports because then the firearms were available at reasonable prices wherein their profitability was restricted, while arms already held by licensees would come back to them for resale, thereby keeping prices and their profits high.
In fact, we are seeing this in the current scenario where the same articles come up for sale now and then. They are circulated among licensees while prices are just pushed up by the dealers.
A prominent Delhi based dealer, then approached Prime Minister Vajpayee during his tenure to lift the import ban, having realised the futility of their earlier action of suggestion the import ban. The grapevine even had it that the bureaucracy was kept nicely oiled in anticipation of lifting the ban but the Deputy Prime Minister apparently threw a spanner in the works and thats where it is today.
Anyway, this is all hearsay and I have nothing to substantiate it.
It is an unfortunate reality. The polity in India is often subject to various selfish and vested interests working behind a smokescreen of "public good" or "national interest" or similar words and phrases.snIPer wrote:Wow, never imagined that such a selfish intention was behind the whole 3 gun limit.
