Its so funny that you guys are discussing that how cars and gun prices are going up due to some taxes and duties.
But the thing is i have experienced something different.
People who buy cars and especially guns are usually not poor...
but there are also some poor or middle class people who faces this problem when buying FOOD!!
Like seriously, they have not spared even the food items...
There was this margarine which costed around 250-300 but now its price is making me shock.. Rs.600
That’s really sad

Come on, you are crying about Cars, while I am concerned about import ban on Weapons. You know, for the last 7 Years Guns import is banned, and now Glocks, CZ's, Berettas are a rarity to find. Besides that, their prices are more than 4 Lac or 5 Lac!

When import on Guns will be lifted?

Buy an POF MP5 ... Or POF Sarsilmaz or Canik models built on CZ platform anyways.

Bro, I don't own any gun/rifle. In fact i hate seeing these kind of weaponry in civilians hands. I may sound like a butterfly to you but whatever. :/

So American Military is NOT Safe, because Gun laws are relaxed, and American Citizens posses a lot of weapons. The fact is that Pakistani Military NEVER Trusts Civilians by heart, and whenever in the Future Marshal Law/Dictatorship is imposed, all these licensed guns will be confiscated from Civvies. And one more thing: More Damage can be done, without Guns!

So Military Grade ONLY means sole proprietorship of Pakistan Army? Are you trying to say that "Military Grade" instruments are sole ownership of Army? WTH!

There are already a lot of Complains about POF Pistols, and I have heard that they are sent back to Turkey. I want to buy something for lifetime, as I have a lot of other responsibilities as well!

Yes that is exactly what I am saying as far as weapons are concerned.

 

[Lagay Raho]

they are selling the new Hyundai Santa Fe in pakistan for 16 to 18 million PKR because they had to pay the custom duties. the same car goes for around 4 to 5 mil PKR in USA.

There are THREE (03) grades of every product, manufactured product, typically:

Commercial Grade: Worst in quality, Low tolerance and easily broken.
Industrial Grade: High resilience, ability to withstand wide range of temperatures and conditions and high tolerance
Military Grade: Highest resilience, highest tolerance, very rugged and durable in extreme operational conditions!

That's why from USB Flash Drive to Pistols to Radios to Vehicles peoples prefer Military Grade Construction and if not possible then Industrial Grade!

And in all this he greses palms of politicians to keep his bejjjanas going.

Not just cars, pretty much the whole of automobile sector. Just look at motorcycles, Honda and Yamaha are still selling the same designs even before I was born. The only thing they did was change the shape of the light other wise their bikes look the same.
They are charging arm and a leg for pieces of junk.
