More over,what we are talking about here is only a review of govt. policy.All that is required is notification and the ban on import of firearms will be lifted.At the same time,we should remember,that it can be re-enforced at a later stage.
What is required is a review of the current policy that grants a monopoly to the Indian Ordnance Factory Board to manufacture firearms with rifle barrels for sale in the civilian market.Any monopoly leads to shoddy products,scarcity and inflated prices. If reliable firearms and quality ammo are manufactured in India,I would not be interested in buying anything from abroad,even if it were possible.
Any one interested in a PIL to ask the govt.
i) to make the IOFB pull up it's socks and improve it's products and lower their prices.
ii)for the govt. to end IOFB's monopoly in the civilian mkt
iii)to ensure that the manufacturers of SBBL/DBBL guns manufacture to a certain level of quality in material and reliability.
iv) to open up a gunsmiths school to ensure that those who have a license to repair firearms know what they are doing rather than convert sound firearms into potential handgrenades
v) to end arbitrariness in matters of denying a license by clearly defining what all constitutes a ground/s for doing so.
Any one
PS-Going by the Indian Arms Act,none of the American made firearms can be sold in the country as they have not been subjected to any proof
