A Green Approach to Gun Control
Tajinder Singh, 47, a farmer in the North Indian state of Punjab,
applied for a gun license. He told the authorities that he needed a
revolver for self-defense. While tending to his 20 acres of land, he
often had to walk long hours to reach home after nightfall. He wanted to
protect himself from wild animals and bands of armed robbers. Once the
background checks were completed in June this year, Singh was told he
had to fulfill one more condition to get his gun. He had to submit two
photos: One showing him planting 10 saplings on his property, and then
another with the thriving trees one month later.
