@amit and dobhal
Of course I am a responsible owner as well as a responsible driver. The driving license is issued only after the licensing authority is fully satisfied as per the law. Denying a vehicle ownership or a driving license on the assumption that it will be misused cannot be a valid reason. If one is not a responsible owner, then there are adequate provisions in the law to make the guilty accountable before the law.Many of us having driving license too. Are we all responsible owner?
may be they will ...now !! i have given them a point ... 
) I am not able to understand the motive behind posting this article here. I am assuming this is in support of your earlier post (Responsible Drivers). BTW isn't there a law already to check celebratory fire? Isn't that a crime in INDIA?tirths wrote:http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/daw ... suse-zj-04
Pakistan’s gun culture and the worsening security situation are feeding off each other in a disturbing manner. Both have their roots in earlier governments’ misguided policies.
The state’s errors of omission and commission during the 1980s contributed significantly to the country’s now being awash in countless illegal arms. More recently, the state’s failure to protect the lives and property of its citizens has had the effect of promoting the ownership of arms. Citizens now face all manner of threats from terrorist attacks to other criminal activity; many ensure they have weapons for their own protection. Meanwhile, the country’s security apparatus is under direct attack by militant and terrorist groups and is consequently less circumspect while pulling the trigger.
The danger is reflected in two cases where guns were grossly misused. On Nov 25 in Peshawar, personnel riding an FC vehicle loosed off what a spokesperson called ‘speculative fire’ on a private car. Presuming he was under attack, the car’s driver accelerated. The FC personnel then opened fire, later maintaining that they aimed for the tyres. In fact the bullets hit the car’s driver and his seven-year-old niece, whose injuries were so severe that one of her legs had to be amputated with doctors struggling to save the other. The FC spokesman stated that though maximum restraint was exercised, in the current war-like situation such incidents could occur. Meanwhile, in Lahore, aerial firing during a wedding left two young men dead, while an elderly man was shot dead under similar circumstances at another wedding.
These cases represent the extremes of gun misuse. There is a need to counter the gun culture by reducing the number of arms available; but this must be accompanied by security for the citizens and extreme caution on the part of the law-enforcement agencies.
Can you pray tell me which arms you or The Dawn wants to reduce? I am sure from law abiding citizens, because I can bet my bottom dollar if criminals going to turn up with their arms when called.There is a need to counter the gun culture by reducing the number of arms available
I am also unable to understand, why you have posted this link here, the link clearly states that the problem is with the “ILLEGAL ARMS”.Pakistan’s gun culture and the worsening security situation are feeding off each other in a disturbing manner.
