Taipei, May 7 (CNA) The Constitutional Court ruled on Friday that while laws on the types of guns Indigenous people can use to hunt and requiring them to apply in advance for permission to do so are valid in principle, certain aspects of how they are applied are unconstitutional.
In its ruling Interpretation No. 803 the court found that the requirement in the Controlling Guns, Ammunition and Knives Act that Indigenous people use self-made guns is largely constitutional.
However, it said, several of the regulations governing the specifications of such guns are insufficient and must be amended within two years to protect Indigenous peoples right to hunt as part of their culture.
