The Arms Licensing has been screwed up by MHA indirectly encouraging corruption. On 31st March 2010 the Ministry of Home Affairs issued an directive to all State/ UT Home Departments, ordering them to begin implementation of the new Arms Policy for Individuals. In total subversion of the parliamentary process this was done without first moving any amendment bill in parliament, in effect changing the law illegally through an executive order!
