Is there gun control in the Philippines?

Guns in the Philippines are controlled by the government. According to the relevant laws of the Philippines, employees in some industries, such as nurses, engineers, bank tellers, lawyers, etc. You can fight with guns outside your home because their jobs are "in jeopardy".

It is reported that people engaged in these industries must pass drug and psychological tests, and must not have any criminal record or any cases of imprisonment for more than two years before they can obtain special gun licenses. This law relaxed the previous gun law in the Philippines. In the past, people had to prove that they were under "real threat" before they could carry guns.

The Philippine authorities said that the new law will help them better regulate the use of guns and curb gun-related crimes. The law stipulates more severely that individuals who illegally possess unlicensed guns and are convicted will face at least 30 years' imprisonment.
