Malacañang says Aquino gov’t to study proposal for ‘total gun ban’
THE Aquino administration will study the proposal for a total gun ban following the death of a seven-year-old girl who was hit by a stray bullet in Caloocan City and the shooting rampage in Kawit, Cavite, a Palace official said on Monday. Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte issued the statement during the regular press briefing in Malacanang amid calls for stricter gun controls and a total gun ban. The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines said the government should consider the proposal from various groups to ensure the safety of the public. Senator Gregorio Honasan said on Saturday that his committee on public order and dangerous drugs would review existing gun laws, consolidate related pending bills and conduct public hearings on gun controls when sessions resume on January 21. For his part, Senator Panfilo Lacson proposed to the government the suspension of all permits to carry in the wake of Ronald Bae’s shooting spree. “Again, it depends on what the contents of that law will be. When you say comprehensive firearms law, that would involve everything from the importation—rules for importation, rules for procurement, for requirements, etcetera. So we will have to see what is in that proposal for a comprehensive firearms law,” Valte said. Bae, an alleged drug addict, went on a shooting rampage in Kawit, Cavite Friday morning. He attacked his neighbors with a .45-caliber pistol, killing eight people and injuring nine others.
