Realizing the awkwardness of the situation, General Lucas said licenses and registration have been made coterminous
As early as 1908, the Supreme Court, in the case of The Government of the Philippine Islands v Amechazurra44 ruled: With that ruling, the highest court said in the Philippines, gun ownership is a privilege, not a right.Legal gun possession has taken a roller coaster ride. Under the old law, Act 2711 issued during the term of Governor General Francis Burton Harrison , all guns by “fiction of law” were owned by the State.
When President Benigno Simeon Aquino III, a gun enthusiast and practical shooting afficionado, assumed office, gun ownership again took a plunge.This law changed the concept of gun ownership. From being “property” of the State, guns were now deemed the property of the owners, as they should be. To grease the palm, a law signed by then President Rodrigo Duterte allowed gun licenses and firearm registrations to be valid for up to 10 years.To secure an LTOPF, an individual must take a drug test, pass a neuropsychiatric examination and have a National Police clearance .
