New Delhi: A trial court has urged the government to create a national database of firearm licences granted by the various states to check interstate crime.
The court said the step will not only help in curbing crime, but will also prove to be beneficial for the states sharing borders. “In case of Delhi, exchange of this data with the neighbouring statesof Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, which have porous and permeable borders with the capital, can go a long way in checking inter-state crime in particular,” additional sessions judge Kamini Lau said.
The court expressed its displeasure over the fact that despite specific conditions being laid down for those having firearm licences—likedisclosure of the possession of firearm to the nearest police station within 48 hours in the state other than the issuing state — such norms are often violated.
NATGRID will have arms data so that the police can round you up or take your guns away when elections or games event takes place.Total violation of privacy.95% of gun crime is done by illegal and unlicensed guns.Honest poeople would be even more discouraged by purchasing a firearm.
