Il Directive Committee 477 replied with a letter to Luciano Fontana, Director of Corriere della Sera, about an article published in the online version of the newspaper and in the Lombard edition. The piece has to do with the firearms license and the reading by the Chairman of the Committee, Giulio Magnani, it happened with great astonishment.
The title is "Lombardy is a region of arms" and for Magnani himself the statements contained are unfounded and spurious starting from the subtitle, given that there is talk of a "dangerous market out of control" in relation to the legitimate arms trade. The Committee recalled how the law requires those who sell weapons verification of possession of an authorization title by the buyer, without forgetting the obligation to go to the Public Safety Authority within 72 hours to report the sale and purchase. In this way, every movement is tracked.
Who gives, even accidentally, the weapon to an unauthorized person risks very serious consequences. The journalist was therefore invited to provide the data underlying the danger we are talking about, taking into account the fact that the Lombardy Police Headquarters know every transfer between private individuals. Finally, Magnani stressed that the wanting to put a whole category of people in a bad light, certified as healthy and honest.
