| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Repuclic Act No. 10591, or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act ((CFARA), was enacted in 2013 and provided for the adoption of new regulations, among others, in the registration and licensing of both firearm owners and the firearms itself. The controversial firearms law and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) had come under fire from the Philippine firearms community for allegedly being excessively harsh and burdensome for legitimate gun owners. Several court actions were initiated by concerned groups of gun owners to question the implementation of the new regulations claiming that these are arbitrary, confiscatory and unjustified. It is clear that CFARA was enacted into law with the intention of stopping the proliferation of illegal firearms and promoting a system of accountability and responsibility among gun owners. It gives law enforcement agencies sufficient legal basis and solutions to address the recurring problem of loose and unregistered firearms in order to prevent their use in commission of crimes. Despite the laudable objectives and merits of the new law, however, it is apparent that there is a pressing need to review the IRR issued for its purpose insofar as licensing and registration of firearms are concerned to improve the systems and procedures to facilitate these transactions, rather than to defeat them. In the course of the policy review, three pressing issues were identified as the source of the major contention from the stakeholders. First, centralization: the new process requires for all registration of gun owners and firearms to be centralized or consolidated at the Philippine National Police (PNP) headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City, particularly at the Firearms and Explosive Office (FEO). As explained in the IRR, this was implemented to avoid/prevent double registration, fraud and to ensure the provisions of the law are properly implemented. But, on the other hand, this process has also made the application difficult for gun owners especially those from the provinces. Second, stringent requirements for licensing and registration imposed both under the CFARA and the IRR that are deemed unreasonable, redundant and prohibitive. Under the new law, there is now a need to register both the gun owner and his firearm, unlike under the previous law where only the firearms were registered with the PNP. Additional processes and stricter requirements were incorporated into the process of registration to purposely ensure that only qualified individuals are given the privilege to carry and own firearms. It is precisely these new processes that are perceived by many stakeholders to be unjustifiably unnecessary and cumbersome. |
