Hard to genealize really, there are brown, white and black Filipinas,Bob R said:Yea, right. Don't bet the farm on that one!!
Not as many as rumor would have it, but a surprising amount nonetheless.SIOP said:Horge - Any truth to the rumors I've heard about warehouses full of Garands and Thompsons over there?
loose cannon said:rights are a bit harder to take away than privleges but i must say your gunshows are superior to ours.
Hi spaceCADETzoomspaceCADETzoom said:Under Philippine law, most citizens may own only two firearms: one shotgun or .22 caliber rifle, and one handgun.
The 'licensing' and 'purchasing'(???) requiements are not separate.Getting a license for each gun requires proof of employment, approval from police officials, mayors and courts, passing drug and psychiatric tests, and paying fees. Buying a firearm involves more approvals and fees. Owners need the carry permit if they want to transport a gun outside the home.
Errr... I make less for a month's work what a minimum wage AmericanAs horge noted, to them it's a privellege, not a right. And like many other countries (i.e. the UK), gun ownership (legal gun ownership) is a rich man's hobby.
SpaceCZ, the photos are quite representative of the gun-show crowd.Thier gun shows look like trade shows not unlike European gun shows. It caters less to regular joes and more to law enforcement/military, etc. It looks like a trade show because they largely are.

Hi! I was wondering the same thing.SpreadfireArms said:why would you want a pistol mounted to the front of your long gun though?

As the salesgirl explained it --in case you get jumped while reloading the rifle,
you can fall back on 'Perfection'.
No civilian restriction vs. full auto.
No civilian restriction on magazine capacity.
No limit to number of firearms.
Home storage of 300-500 rounds per gun,
though the FED/Police don't really care about the home-ammo quantity,
I guess if you need ammo for practice, you can buy it at the range
We don't have a 2nd Amendment: Firearms ownership is a privilege and not a right.
I think it has worked out fine for us, because quite a few of us don't view firearms ownership as a 'right' or even a personal 'privilege', but as a social, moral and familial duty to be well-prepared.
85K last I heard, but the distributor here (PBDionisio) has been out of stockOriginally posted by hksw

Your assessment is dead on the money.Originally posted by History Prof
viewing it as a privilege can be dangerous. If government grants the privilege, government can take it away
Well, yes, that's right. But...Originally posted by The_Future
Now on the ammo restrictions can you own multiple guns of the same caliber to get around it?
