Events from across the seas...

Posted by David Hardy · 4 July 2007 01:56 PM

From the Philippines comes this story:

"Neither does the Philippine National Police have the appetite to go after Bedol for admitting that he owned a cache of 20 firearms. Such private armories are normal among traditional clans in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, according to Chief Superintendent Joel Goltiao, ARMM police director.

Under the country’s tough gun laws, civilians are not supposed to maintain such weapons stockpiles. But Philippine laws apparently do not apply to the ARMM, as far as the PNP is concerned. A study in 1995 reportedly showed that 80 mayors in the region each owned at least 60 firearms, including assault rifles, grenade launchers and M60 machine guns."

And in Nigeria, with the elections over, the the bottom has fallen out of the machete market.

Meanwhile, Canadian polls show little support for more gun control, and support for easing what exists.

I'd never thought I'd hear that.

20 firearms is a weapons cache? Hell, that isn't that many. I guess I must have an armory...
