salaam brothers 
following the recent clashes between students and police in islamabad in the lal masjid area, i have a number of questions regarding gun ownership. as i am a UK resident and have not been to pakistan for the past 7 years i have very little knowledge on the matter of gun ownership.
Firstly, i am aware gun ownership is rife in NWFP due to the large numbers of illegal markets such as in Dera Adam Khel. the questions i have are:
1- How easy is it to purchase a gun in pakistan legally and illegally (particularly in the Islamabad/Pindi region)?
2- Does one have to obtain a firearms licence for ownership? (my grandad has owned a double-barrel shotgun for 20+yrs, he has no licence)
3- Are there any restrictions on the numbers and calibre of weapons one may own?
4- when purchasing a gun, is there a lot of choice regarding manufacturer and type?
i look forward to your responses
