| dbo:abstract | In Honduras, the commerce, ownership, possession and use of firearms is regulated. Escalation in crime and the use of firearms in the commission of crimes and homicides has brought political and public discourse to consider regulation of arms. Up until 1985, there was no official regulation of gun ownership and possession by private citizens although Title III, Chapter IV, Article 94 of the Honduran Constitution of 1965, replaced in 1982, stated No one may possess or carry weapons without the permission of the competent authority. The law shall regulate this provision; while the Constitution of 1957 on Title II, Chapter IV said The inhabitants of the republic can own and carry weapons in accordance with the law. The current Constitution of Honduras, enacted in 1982, makes no direct mention of the 'right to keep and bear arms' and the role firearms should play as a constitutional right; however, Title V, Chapter X, Article 292 ...reserve[s] as exclusive power of the Armed Forces the manufacturing, import, distribution and sale of arms, ammunition and the like. Other clauses in the Constitution regarding the right of citizens to life and personal safety have served as foundation to the legislation and regulation of individuals' right to possession and the use of firearms. Until June 2007, openly carrying a firearm in public as well carrying a concealed weapon was permitted but increased attention to deaths by firearm in the country led to further restrictions on the possession of firearms. Current law still makes the purchase, ownership, and possession of firearms legal and it describes the type of firearms permitted for civilian ownership. The 2007 small arms survey shows 6 guns owned per 100 citizens in Honduras. (en) Control de armas en Honduras se refiere al comercio, propiedad, posesión y uso de armas de fuego por los ciudadanos y residentes de Honduras. Los hondureños han permanecido pasivos en cuanto al control y a la proliferación de armas de fuego en el país. Antes del año de 1985, no había ningún reglamento oficial acerca de la propiedad y posesión de armas de fuego por la ciudadanía. La Constitución hondureña de 1982 no hace ninguna mención explícita de los ciudadanos y la posesión de armas. Aunque la Constitución de 1965 sí declara en el título III, capítulo IV, artículo 94, que nadie puede poseer o llevar armas sin el permiso de la autoridad competente. Hasta junio de 2007, estaba permitido llevar un arma de fuego en público, así como llevar un arma oculta debidamente autorizada. Pero el incremento de muertes por armas de fuego en el país trajo consigo otras restricciones sobre la posesión de armas. La ley actual todavía hace la compra, la propiedad y la posesión de armas de fuego legales, y describe el tipo de armas de fuego permitidas para la propiedad civil. (es) |
