ARMS1

The Arms Act of 1959 in India regulates the acquisition, possession, and licensing of firearms, aiming to reduce illegal weapons circulation and ensure public safety. The Act allows individuals to possess licensed firearms under specific conditions, while emphasizing that the right to bear arms is not constitutionally protected but governed by this legislation. Historical context reveals that earlier laws were influenced by colonial rule, and recent amendments have tightened regulations following events like the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
