The Petition on mental check-up is important for those applying for firearm licences. The Committee should look into this matter and even extend the check-up to be yearly. Mental problems can be acquired at any time along the way. Since a firearm licence is renewed yearly, a renewal application should be matched with a mental check-up note. We should also prescribe in law that a firearm is deemed to have been used properly if it has been used in self-defence so that you are not charged with murder in the event that you used the firearm to defend yourself or members of your family. Hon. Speaker, I finally seek your direction. Sometimes I see Members who have not put on face masks yet we are in a red zone. It is painful to see somebody not wearing a mask or not vaccinated yet they owe you some money."}
