“I appreciated the clarification of the PD secretary Enrico Letta about his thoughts on firearms license expressed in the immediacy of the events in Voghera ". Thus the national President of Federcaccia Massimo Buconi comments on the statement issued by Letta to Bruno Vespa, where the Secretary of the PD, returning to the issue of the possession of weapons, specified how his request for greater controls was to be intended addressed to the release of firearms for personal defense and for those who possess weapons at home without any authorization, explicitly excluding the hunting and professional needs in addition to sports use.
“Holders of firearms for hunting use are already among the most controlled categories both in the release phase and during the period of its duration. Even a poorly motivated report is enough, a doubt or the slightest less than correct behavior on the part of the owner or even of a family member living with him to see him withdrawn with seizure of the weapons held - continued Massimo Buconi.
More controls on weapons in circulation are welcome if they serve to raise public safety, but woe to blame and undermine a sector like that of sports guns, which represents a flagship of the Italian industry and craftsmanship in the world and that in all shooting sports is at the top of the world rankings "(Source: Hunting Federation).
