President NoyNoy Aquino states on radio that he is against the gun ban

21st May, 201018th June, 2010

President-elect Noynoy Aquino was just interviewed on radio earlier today. He categorically stated that he was against the gun ban extension. He further stated that the gun ban affects only legitimate gun owners and not criminals who do not respect the ban. He also cited the numerous people who were killed during the gun ban which proves that the gun ban does not work. We support the President-elect for his pro-gun stand, which is an accord with reason and logic. PROGUN has always been against the imposition of any type of gun ban, and we are glad that we finally have a President who shares the same views.We salute and support you Mr. President! It only proves that our votes and suport for your campaign were not fruitless. Mabuhay kayo Noynoy! Continue Reading

The Philippines under a total gun ban

19th May, 201019th May, 2010

Recently, the PNP, under its chief General Jesus Verzosa, proposed a permanent total gun ban. Chief Verzosa seems to conveniently ignore the fact that, to date, there have been no cases anywhere in the world where a ban has effectively prevented criminals from obtaining weapons. To see how the Philippines might look if it continues on this course, we need only look to Jamaica. The former Spanish possession changed hands with the British to become a colony for around 300 years. Jamaica attained full independence in the 1960s, after which it experienced strong economic growth. Its prosperity didn't last long, however, as in the 1970s it suffered from growing inequality and fell into economic deterioration. Continue Reading

There is much talk now about the proposal to extend the Comelec gun ban or make it permanent. This began with the statement of Gen. Jesus Verzosa, the Chief PNP, that due to the perceived effectiveness of the total gun ban during the comelec campaign period and the alleged low incidence of crime during this period, there is a supposed "clamor" for the gun ban to be made permanent.

On Donations and other forms of help to PROGUN

28th April, 2010

I have read the article of fallujah regarding foreign aid that he tried to compare with the situation in our organization. Unlike the National Rifle Association which is actively supported by the members of the gun industry in the United States of America, your organization is not supported by anyone else except for a few generous entities that are both willing to shoulder our expenses everytime we will meet to discuss the developments in government and in the country as a whole. We are independent, in the sense that we do not owe any loyalty to any individual, shooting discipline, company or interest group. PROGUN is loyal to its members and we have made this commitment to fight and lobby for the interest of the FILIPINO GUN OWNERS. Continue Reading
