Tighter Gun Law Pressed

By Rolly T. Caradang

Alarmed by firearms-related crimes, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV filed a bill that aims to have a tighter gun control and stiffer penalties for unlawful possession and acquisition of firearms particularly by public officials whether in civilian or in military, police or law enforcement service.

In Senate Bill No. 13, or to be known as the Gun Control Act of 2010, Senator Trillanes asked Congress to pass his proposal to deter crimes related to loose firearms more effectively and ensure a more peaceful and orderly country.
