Thieves and rapists may have firearms. Senators do not see any problem in this

A controversial new law – which criminals will win – was passed by the Senate today. The result is that Romania could turn into a paradise of arms. Indeed, according to the amendments voted today, only the one who is sentenced to life in perpetuity can not buy a deadly weapon.

Senators do not see a problem with people sentenced to years of imprisonment for violent crimes to have lethal weapons.

Cosmin Andreica, trade union leader of Europol: "We are talking about criminals, thieves, rapists and even money-makers, for example, who will certainly use this favorable legal environment to be even more violent by committing crimes. crimes. "

However, the chairman of the Senate Defense Committee assumes nothing, not even the fact that he initiated and voted to amend the law.

Liviu Brăiloiu, PSD senator: "I did not do it, but I do not remember what it is, but I know something has been discussed Amendment 14. Yes, he has It has probably been a question of those who are convicted of violent crimes. (Rep .: And they want guns?) No, no, they just do not have the right to have guns. "

The official documents posted on the Senate website contradict Senator PSD, who does not recognize the amendment that for self-defense lethal weapons can also be used.

Liviu Brăiloiu, PSD senator: "They stayed the same, there was a drafting error, self-defense is a gas or rubber weapon."

And this time, the documents show something else.

Senators have agreed to abolish mandatory training for those who want a firearms license.

Valentin Palade, weapons specialist: "You put a firearm in the hand of a young man and you do not have any more army.At least they had the basics.Currently, according to the law, a person can only possess two of these weapons. Politicians want to eliminate any limit in this regard. As for ammunition, the new law wants to increase the number of cartridges that a person can hold from 50 to 100 ".

More than 71,000 Romanians now have a firearms license. And in the police registers, more than 270,000 weapons are registered.

The law amending the rules in this area is now submitted to the Chamber of Deputies, which is a decision-making body.
