The Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act Senate Bill No. 3397

It looks like the Anti-Gun lobby won a major, MAJOR victory for Gun Control under the PNoy Administration. One big problem with PNoy is that his financial backers, among them the rich and powerful Ayala clan, have Anti-Gun sentiments. In fact, rumors has it that Anti-Gun Advocates like Nandy Pacheco and his group has been pestering the Administration for tighter gun control laws as soon as he first stepped into office.

Now it looks like they finally got their wish thru the Administration's allies in the legislature, who has come up with the with the "Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act Senate Bill No. 3397". Here is a direct link to a copy of the law itself in full for everyone's reference: http://www.senate.gov.ph/lisdata/1507312687!.pdf

While everyone was talking and arguing about the Reproductive Health (RH) and Cyber Crime Bills, it seems the legislature quietly worked on this bill and got under everybody's radar as it has now PASSED BOTH houses as of February 5, 2013. There was NO NEWS of President Aquino vetoing this bill, so I ASSUME that this has NOW PASSED INTO LAW as our laws states that any bill passed by both houses and not vetoed after 30 days automatically becomes law. 30 days after February 5, 2013 was March 7, 2013, or around 2 months ago.
