Amendments to Firearms Act to be completed by March 31

 “The final drafts are being done now,” he said. Chang was speaking after a tour of the Firearm Licensing Authority’s (FLA) Old Hope Road offices in St Andrew on Thursday, January 28. He said the revised legislation, which is aimed at tackling gun crimes, is critical, as 80 per cent of the homicides in the country are committed with firearms. He added that the amendments are to streamline the regulation of the legal arms trade and the functions and activities of the FLA.  “The new Firearms Act will seek to, in fact, impose adequate penalties and hold those with illegal firearms accountable for the criminal activities they are up to, and those who have licensed firearms will be dealt with if they don’t license them,” he indicated.
