What's interesting about this jail term is the fact that he has been punished under Arms Act for illegal possession of weapons. Posession of weapons for self defence is a fundamental right in USA, emanating from an individual's right to defend himself and his property and thus protect one's sovereignty over oneself. The moot question is that any law which can't guarantee full security to its people and itself makes provisions for self-defence can't disallow people to keep arms for self defence. It's ridiculous to do otherwise. Indian Law is one such stupid law. It's unfair to punish a person for something which, at the first place, is not a crime by natural law and secondly when he has been acquited under TADA (which would actually be a crime, if commited, and whose real offenders are moving freely and running business). This judgement of Indian Government of Indian Law only further shows the impotency of Indian Government and Indian Law, which is never able to bring the real culprits to tethers and gives strictest punishment possible to those who are weak and thus helpless. I fail to understand how come India makes more errors when it develops closer ties with developed countries like USA??? It's ironical!

Thank you for the sympathy shown toward your favourite actor. In US People are allowed to have weapons for self defence; agreed. But AK47 for self defence? where is the license? is it not a crime. Dont try to act too smart, by comparing with US. Have you ever been to US? I think you are born and brought up in India. US is not a model state. Please change your mindset.

I agree with you, This judgement of Indian Government of Indian Law only further shows the impotency of Indian Government and Indian Law, I qoute your writting, But its the a kind of short cut to indian Penal code provided to help Incompetent Investgating officers and agencies to nail any person to show that they have solved the case. May I take the liberty to ask if during that sad time holding legal or illegal weapon is a person terrorist.
Sir to top it, in recent judgement of state human right commission maharashtra said that that draconian law MOCOCA is Civil offence, where shall poor man go for help.God help us all

Possession of arms for self-protection is legal in India also, but you need license for it without which every TD or H will start having one and using it to kill at wish and the disposing it off claiming he never had it. Also, you need to buy it from a licensed vendor not a Bhai. You cannot understand this simple english and you still have the audacity to lecture on ethics?

AK 56 for self defence? You will be shot dead if you carried AK 56 in the US.

The developed country like USA has its own law to protect peoples; the do belive their own law; the peoples in USD resepect their law; They are their own, i think we should not compaire India and USA or any other country. See India has its own law, own we must make sure that we must do respect our law. India is facing terrerisom very badly since 50 yrs we are facing this things, terrerist are hiding in normal public, in such circumstances.. illegal possession of arms is a crime and should be punished. I do belive that our law is one of the best law in the owrld. But the things is peoples are not beliving it. And poples not beliving somboday takes undue advantages of this things. We can stand against our protection issue. Govt. has to do if peoples stand against this. I want u ask 1 question - WHAT WE DID FOR OUR NATION? - Do we respect even trafic rules, why we aren't? thats is not four our security our life.. aren't they. If we are not respect then how will rules works.? So very first respect our nation our constitution. then we can talk abt other things.
