                    [Summary] => Sen. Panfilo Lacson wants the death penalty for government officials and employees who are convicted of helping syndicates smuggle firearms into the country.


In filing the Anti-Smuggling Bill of 2001, Lacson said the lack of a law punishing firearms smuggling has emboldened gunrunners into taking advantage of the country’s long coastline to sneak in guns for secessionists in Mindanao and the various criminal groups nationwide.
