Ahern signs new gun control act into law
Justice Minister Dermot Ahern has signed new gun control legislation into law.
The act bans handguns in Ireland and also introduces a requirement for referees, background medical checks and standards for the safe keeping of guns in the home for all firearms licence applicants. It also makes it an offence to brandish a realistic imitation firearm in public. Mr Ahern says the legislation is designed to halt the emergence of a gun culture in Ireland.

So there you have it. Not with a bang, with not even a wimper, not even a debate! God forbid! The formerly honored and brave Irishmen have been put to heel like curs by a Quisling Police bureaucrat who has removed their right to effective self-defense with a casual stroke of a pen...Gelded, castrated...Callously using the depredations of the criminal minded to neuter the law-abiding. Mightier than the sword indeed. There are many in the USA who dream of being able to do the same tyrannical acts, and are working hard at it, so I say God Bless the 2nd Amendment and all who support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic....(S9)
