SC asked to cite police chief for contempt

Responsible gun ownership advocates have asked the Supreme Court (SC) to cite Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Gen. Alan Purisima for contempt for allegedly violating an earlier order of the high court to stop the implementation of the PNP’s centralized gun licensing policy.

The Peaceful Responsible Owners of Guns (PROGUN) also urged Purisima to take a leave of absence for continuing to require licensed gun owners all around the country to go personally to Camp Crame, PNP’s headquarters in Quezon City, to renew their licenses pursuant to the cited policy.
