Why "Right to bear arms" is not recognized as liberty in India!

If we look at history, the right of Indian civilians to bear firearms was taken away for the very first time by the British in the year, 1878 - The time when first Amrs Act was introduced in India
“Among the many misdeeds of british rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms”.
- One of Gandhi's famous quotes.
He was the one to heavily protest against it.
It’s been almost a century since the british left this country, yet we didn’t get back our rights to bear arms till this day.
After the british imperilism came to its end, we were supposed to have some rights and right to bear arms was one of them but the new rulers cheated on us too!
Indian constitution declared it as a crime and
the evil bureaucrats & politicians always did things to keep it even more away from the citizens.
There is a huge gap between "Regulation" and "Prohibition", our constitution chose "Prohibition" completely.
The widely accepted fact - "Right to bear arms is an important part of liberty", is denied by indian constitution.
If it wasn’t this way, bearing arms would have been a fundental right of us Indian citizens.
The benefits and opportunities are endless, if “citizens bearing arms” is decriminalized -
[1] Crime would reduce because at least one thought would always cross a criminal's mind before they try to attack someone - "what if that person got a concealed weapon?", like in America.
Moreover an individual would think 10 times before drawing his registered weapon to shoot someone that easily or cause violence since they would have a sense of accountability unlike one having an illegal weapon.
Data shows that the countries that actually legalized weapons have acheived a significant positive difference in gun related crime rate, Brazil is the biggest example.
Illegal fire arms in india make almost about 85% of its total gun related crimes.
Imagine what the outcome could it bring in india!
[2] Illegal weapon manufacturing would reduce significantly and crimes related to illegal fire arms obtaining would be very less.
[3] Good & Law Abiding citizens like us would be able to protect their life, property and liberty and would feel a "Sense Of Security & Safety",
[4] Police would be able to spend their valuable time & energy in investigation of more important cases.
[5] Having rights for citizen to "Manufacturing Of Weapon" would bring up a new competition era in our country's history due to which invention of new weapons would be possible and a huge revolution could take place in the Indian fire arm industry.
Being educated in this field would open new doors for research & development in a broader scale, and we would be able to contribute much more advanced technologies to our ARMY & our national security so that we don't have to rely on other countries for weapons.
[6] New jobs would be created for people which would also contribute to our country's GDP.
[7] Prices will drop significantly for all weapons which are currently way too overpriced in our country hence people would be able to practice more for sports shooting and could represent our country on international level
.........
The opportunities & benefits are endless and outweighs the disadvantages.
It is only India where rulers and its supporters portray firearms in a way such that it seems to be meant for violence only.
They are well arware that an armed citizenry acts as a check on governmeng power, ensuring that the nation does not overreach or infringe upon individual freedom and they brainwash people instead of educating everyone about fire arms & fire arms safety.
Shame on my independent country, Shame!
Guns are not that dangerous they portray them as but a person with an evil mind is.
Even the American history proves that an armed populace serves as a check on potential government overreach or tyranny, preserving democratic freedoms.
Always remember - "a nation without its liberty that has desarmed its citizens can never form a true democracy and is doomed to reach tyranny!"
Its just something what is capable of killing doesn't mean that's the only thing it's meant to.
In many western countries like US & Switzerland, keeping guns represents a “freedom hobby” which ensures the nation's liberty as well as its democratic safety and stability and a citizen bearing arms is a “part of true liberty” which only Indian rulers deny!
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
~ Thomas Jefferson
