Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India,
history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation

As a result of a growing crime problem, plus the impact of last year's Mumbai
massacre, Indians are struggling to improve their access to firearms for the
purposes of self defense.

A 27 year old in the above link purchased a used, black,Smith and Wesson snub

India's 1959 Arms Act gives citizens the legal right to own and carry guns, but this
right is not enshrined in the Indian constitution.

I wish the Indians well in their struggle to ease the burdensome rules regarding RKBA.
