Il Directive Committee 477 has always been confronted with the world of politics and a few hours after the fateful date of 4 March 2018, that of the elections, the time has come to take stock: in this way the voters who hold and use weapons legitimately they can know the positions of all parties by expressing an informed vote. The Committee launched two distinct appeals.
The first concerned a proposal on self-defense, which envisages two topics never discussed so far, while the second has to do with the public commitment in defense of the legal owners of weapons, proposed at the recent Vicenza HIT Show. Almost all the forces in the field have ignored, rejected or not followed up on the availabilities. The only party that showed serious willingness was there Alloy, since the grouping led by Matteo Salvini it actively involved the Committee and followed up on a series of fruitful meetings on the proposals made.
The other political forces have not shown the same interest, indeed the legal holders of the weapons have been penalized with heavy measures and without justifications. The Committee recalled that the defense of these rights is not a marginal issue, but whoever ignored the proposal on legitimate defense signed by 2 million citizens was not deemed worthy of consideration.
