DRAFT LAW NO. 412 /XI/2.

PROCEEDS TO THE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LAW No. 5/2006, OF 23 OF

FEBRUARY, WHICH APPROVES THE NEW LEGAL REGIME OF THE

WEAPONS AND THEIR AMMUNITION

Exhibition of reasons

The Arms Act is an anthem to bureaucracy: it complicates, delays and desawaits

who needs to apply for a permit, buy or manifest a weapon,

or even for anyone who intends to invest in the industry and the sectors of

activity linked to hunting. It is necessary, therefore, without a decrease in

guarantees of safety that must always roam the marketing and use

of arms, aligning the bureaucracy and streamlining procedures: this is the goal

essential that the CDS-PP aims to achieve with the present initiative

legislative.

Add to that the fact that that excess of bureaucracy and rigidity are influencing

decisively in the delapidation of the economic potential of the hunting sector.

Hunting is a phenomenon that has economic repercussions at various levels,

with unquestionable economic growth potential, especially in the

current context of enormous economic difficulties. We all have

awareness of what goes on in the "next door neighbor", but few will have any idea

of what is going on at the other end of Europe. Here in a few years were

rapidly reconverting old systems and hunting (particularly the

larger hunting) has gained international dimension. In our country we hear about

of nature tourism, summer tourism, tourism of 3ª age, tourism

2

associated with sports practitioners (i.e. golf), but little importance has been

given to kinetic tourism. We have for us that hunting, in a perspective

solely lucid, will hardly survive modern times. The

economic strand of hunting is a key pillar in the maintenance of the

same and as such cannot be despised and ignored.

On the other hand, the present draft law aims to correct an error of origin

in the current gun law: instead of shooting themselves to the offenders in the laws

penal, he shot the hunters in the law of arms. Instead of focusing on

PSP on the hunt for offenders, it focused on PSP on the hunt for licence and on the

poaching of the fine.

In this sense, the CDS-PP heard more than 20 entities, among associations of

hunters, association of armears, collectors ' associations,

sports federations, public safety police, national guard

republican and different personalities associated with the different sectors

of activity.

Following the extended set of hearings and meetings, the CDS-PP

intends now to introduce measures of debureaucratization and streamlining of the

licensing procedures provided for in the headquarters of Arms Act, with

special highlight for the following:

-Creates a unique procedure of obtaining letter of hunter and of

license for use and possession of a weapon for the exercise of the venatory activity,

that go over the course in simultaneo and will allow, in our understanding,

a better preparation of the hunter-hunter candidates, procedure such that

will be held under the aegis of the organisations of the hunting sector accredited by the

competent ministry;

3

-In what concerne the courses of updating the users of arms of

fire, understands the CDS-PP that should not only be the licence holders

federative and sports shooting license that make proof of the practice of shooting

with firearms that must be exempt from them. With effect, all

the holders of the C and D licences that make proof of the practice of shooting with

regularity, in the venatory act and other activities permitted by law,

should also be exempt from such forced recycling;

-In what concerne the export of weapons, it also understood to be

excessive that each arms sales operation out of the EU has to

be the subject of the request for an opinion to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

on the part of the PSP, in the sense of pronountion on compliance by the

country of destination of the criteria laid down in the Union Code of Conduct

European arms export: it is an unnecessary demand that

should be reserved only for cases in which PSP has doubts

about that matter.

It did not want the CDS-PP to pass alongside two issues that have mobilized the

hunters and sporting shooters, although for distinct reasons.

The first relates to the prior approval of the vaults and cabinets of

safety and verification of the security conditions of the house-strong or

fortified for the guard of the weapons, which will pass on to compete, not only to PSP

but also to entities, recognized for the purpose by porterie of the

Ministry of Internal Administration. PSP is not, in fact, the entity

to whom it is incumbent to carry out these tasks, so it should be left a

open door for the streamlining of this process. Record-if it is through the

adoption of these security mechanisms that the owners of arms

4

of the categories ali referred to may be exempt from the observance of the limits

provided for in Article 32º of the Arms Act.

The second respects the degradation in counterordinance of the acts of

breach of the obligation to renew the license of use and possession of a weapon, with

the most serious fines to be reserved for cases in which to not

renewal persists in the additional 180-day period provided for in paragraph 1 of the

article 29º. This decriminalization is complemented with the creation of the

notification obligation of the licence holders, on the part of the PSP, in the

60 days prior to the expiry of the term of validity of licences, alerting them

for the need to renew and of the consequences that the non-renewal

may take over, as well as with the warning that the entitlement of

license lapsed will constitute crime, decorated that are all deadlines

possible to proceed to regularization of the use and possession of a weapon.

Finally, it is to mention the creation of an extraordinary period during the

which owners of unmanifested or registered weapons will be able to

ask for the respective legalization-or deliver them, pure and simply, if the

do not intend to do-without criminal consequences, with the obligation of the

Government to inform the citizens of this possibility.

These are some of the most important innovations that the CDS-PP aims to

introduce with the present initiative, which also contemplates some hits

of detail in the enumeration and designation of the weapons that are included in

each of the classes, fruit of the experience of four years ' application of the

Law of the Arms, and, with due process in Kenya we pointed it out, of the committed

contribution of the associations representing the various interests in

presence in this sector.
