Register your objections against proposed Arms Act amendment

[mundaire]

As some of you are aware the Ministry of Home Affairs is planning on amending the existing Arms policy and this will make things worse than they already are for all of us who love guns & shooting and who wish to live in a truly free country! In case you are unaware of the proposed changes, kindly take a look at the document titled "Proposed Arms and Ammo Policy" which is available at http://www.mha.nic.in/pdfs/DAAM-PolicyI ... 211209.pdf

There is a prepared text below addressed to Shri S.K Malhotra. The same text is also available as downloadable files in various formats (to suit everyone's tastes and to make it easier to print/ copy/ paste/ edit etc.), which can be downloaded from:

You can send in the prepared text as it is, or use it as a base to prepare your own individual objections. Irrespective of what you choose to do, PLEASE DO send in your objections without fail. This is not any one individuals battle, but in stead a matter which AFFECTS ALL OF US, do not take this lightly.

Your 5 minutes CAN help ensure our present and future generations continued enjoyment of FREEDOM!

Lastly, if ANY of you have any suggestions, contacts that would be of help, PLEASE don't be shy to contact webmaster [at] indiansforguns [dot] com or any of the other moderators here, we'll ensure that whatever information comes to me is promptly addressed with all urgency.

All the very best for the year to come and let us try and ensure that this is a good one for all responsible gun owners!

It seems that the MHA is going to take this to the parliamentary committee very soon. There is a very big probability that our objections may not be tabled objectively by the concerned officers, in front of this committee, therefore please review the attached list of members of this committee and see if you/ anyone you know can somehow touch base with one/ more of them to make them aware of what is happening, as well as the objections to these new policy measures. PLEASE treat this with all URGENCY as it is paramount for our cause that the parliamentary committee is made aware of the hidden agenda behind this policy and provided with a balanced viewpoint.

Am available on mobile 24x7 for this, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if anyone needs me for anything at all regarding this.
