According to the Finance Ministry guidelines, confiscated non-prohibited weapons could be given to departmental officers on lease terms on a selective basis.

The circular also makes it clear that the weapons sold to sitting MPs could not be sold for a period of ten years.

Though some names appeared more than once in the list during a period between 1986 and 2000 given in the RTI reply, the 2002 circular says that only one weapon will be allotted to an MP from the confiscated stock.

No replacement will be permissible even in cases the first weapon allotted has either been lost or stolen or become defective or non-serviceable due to excessive use or obsolescence, the circular said.

what is even worse is the prices at which they have got them,we civvies at that price might only be allowed to touch the weapon

[dr.jayakumar]

auction would be the right way to dispose or sell the weapons.
so literally they (MPs) are carrying Illegal arms!!

Yes arms are our fundamental right and confiscated weapons are a public property, they need to be publicly auctioned.
