   If not done so, the new government needs to setup a dedicated department only to crackdown on firearms by banning gun licenses altogether and confiscating all guns from existing licensed and unlicensed people on a daily basis.

   سات سال کے معصوم بچے نے گن لوڈ کیسے کرلی؟ اور اگر باپ نے پھلے سے ہی گن لوڈ کرکے رکھی ہوئی تھی تو پھر وہ اس حماقت پہ سزا کا حقدار ہے
