Not long ago there were noises coming out that gun (im not talking about air gun) restrictions would be relaxed.
Should never happen.
You can see first hand how guns are now treated and used like toys in Pakistan- AK-47's pistols semi-autos used in both weddings (celebratory fire) , personal (Pakistan's gun crime graph is unbelievable) and ethnic (shia vs sunni massacres) and banditry(with thousands of Youtube videos of ordinary men walking into banks taking and looting at will). On a holistic note, the mindset of an average Indian (denominator : IQ, Poverty, lack of common sense) is not that different from the average Pakistani.
With proliferation of weapons - I don't see an India very different from the now ordinary-citizens-armed-to-the-teeth Pakistan whose problems are now unresolvable!! There are millions of weapons now sold freely there, Pakistani government is helplessly watching its cities and towns burn, like in Karachi recently whenthousands were tortured and killed over 3 months of political riots, and entire neighborhoods were bullet ridden - I've also seen the horrors of how lesser responsible people misuse weapons - especially those from the backward communities - even in the first world! The blacks and Hispanics come to mind.
I'm glad India is weapons free - and every effort should be made to hunt down and destroy the small country made weapons proliferating in UP Bihar and Jharkhand - I think we'll be safer country as long the majority of our citizens don't have any access to weapons!
I shudder to think what would happen if the Gujjars or Jats ,armed to the teeth, decide to gherao Delhi demanding reservations, in an version of India where weapons are more freely allowed. The outcome will be quite different from the already disgusting way they behaved during their last Blockade of Delhi protests!!
