“The attacker, Hasnin Anwar Warekar, hung himself after slitting the throats of all other family members including his parents.”-police statement
“We came running. His sister was shouting from the window for help. We saved her by breaking the window. When we tried to break through the door she asked us not to as her brother was holding a knife. My elder brother and I went to call the police.”-neighbor
A man killed 14 members of his family, with a knife, then killed himself! It happened in the total gun ban country of India.
Police say the murder-suicide took place while the extended family was about to eat dinner. The woman who survived the attack is hospitalized and not yet in a condition to answer questions.
Home made gun in near total gun ban India, if there’s a will there’s a way
India totally bans individual gun ownership, unless an individual can meet strict rules (and pay high fees) to get a government issued license. The license must be renewed every three years. However, even with a gun license there are types of guns totally banned from ownership: Basically any “bored” gun that can fire the most popular pistol or rifle ammo (which just happens to be ammo used by police & military) is banned, even shotguns with a barrel of less than 20 inches are banned. Legal guns are limited to how much ammo they can hold.
This is one of the few legal for civilians to own (with gun license) guns in India. The sexist manufacturer claims they designed it just for women.
Despite the near total gun ban and tougher gun laws, India’s gun ownership, and gun violence rate, has been going up. In 2010, Time magazine claimed that India was second highest in the world for gun ownership. Accidental shootings have increased to the point where several lndian states have banned the traditional use of guns in celebrations. What the anti-gun Time article failed to point out is that most of the increase in gun ownership involves the owning of the very guns that are totally banned (the “bored” guns using ammo similar to police & military guns), which also implies the owners don’t have a legal gun ownership license.
This chart differentiates between illegal and legally owned guns. Note the overwhelming dominance of murders by gun with illegally owned guns, proving the near total gun ban is a total failure!
Last year the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) published the conclusions of their investigations into India’s rising gun violence. They reported that near total gun-ban India now has the second highest homicide by gun rate in the world! Of course the IDS study is a biased anti-gun report, calling for more guns for cops!
