Gansta Gun Factory in Philippines
I was shocked when I discovered this [Gun] and [Ammo] factories few months back. Today I am even Shocker when I found from Weirdomatic that guns can Easily be produced in some small factories in Philippines, its Illegal of course.
In some workshops in the village of Danao, the locals have turned illegal gun-making into a veritable cottage industry.
One illegal gun-maker says that the fact his main customers are businessmen and politicians could explain why the authorities usually turn a blind eye to what goes on. In the workshop, there are guns to suit all budgets. A machine gun would cost about $375. A revolver on the other hand would set a customer back about $80.
From its patriotic beginnings during World War 2 supplying guerillas with weapons against the Japanese, Danao is now the center of the country’s’ underground gun making industry. Of the more than 100,000 residents of the island, 1 in 10 is directly involved in the industry. Most are from rural areas where employment opportunities are limited. Demand for the replicas had become so high that many have abandoned farming, fishing and working in sugar fields to become gunsmiths. Earning several hundred pesos a day legally pales in comparison to the income generated by a single gun sale. A revolver maybe sold for $ 80 which is already equivalent to a few weeks’ wages
Hey children, what are you thinking???

This has to be a hoax. Gun bans always work. making guns illegal solves crime.
that’s what the Democrats keep telling us. It must be true!

This is so true. Everyone in the Cebu island (where Danao is) knows about this trade in Danao. They have produced better quality guns in the last decades; in the 80’s these guns were unreliable.

I’ve heard that right next door from the counterfit gun shop is another counterfit shop.. Durex Condoms!! They take garbage bags and roll them up.. the poloticians turn a blind eye to it because the CEO of the gun shop is a shareholder in the Durex counterfit shop!!
Their’s a counterfit grenade plant across the island, that is experiencing ALOT of groth. Sales are up!! no repeat customers as of yet!!

DANAO is not the only manufacturing place for what we Filipinos refer to as “PALTIK”. Try going to Pangasinan too. They also have manufacturers of “PALTIKs” in there. If im not mistaken its in the Pozzurubio area. Try purchasing gun in there when the drought is already taking its toll on the fields. This is what they call as “GAWAT” time. You’ll definitely get the best BARGAIN in automatic weapons.

Im so sad about how other people view guns. M one of the members of the most ellite strike group in the phil. .Ive used all sorts of gun and diff. killing armament. We feel its necessary 4 us to use it to maintain our freedom, but others see guns as an egoistic trip instrument. I hope u realized that every bullet n ur gone is equivalent to a son, a brother, brother, or a mother.Guns wont compensate for the size of ur dicks..

when you live in a country with 2 standards of justice, one for the rich and one for the poor. i guess human instinct takes a hold on someone to protect himself and his family so dont blame individuals and gun makers who buy guns legally or illegally.

I was a victim of injustices committed by men of honor in government who are supposed to be caretaker of the poor’ inviolable rights, but they are more interested in the rich man’s money that thwart the goodness of man and put into the pedestal of hypocrisy the evil that man do in promoting self interest.If you can shoot the wrong in every man and make them live a life that promote the well being of our country then let gun making flourish and make the philippines an exporter of the best guns in the world!!!!
