Impeachment of President Yoon looms... Police considering banning firearms from storage = South Korea

With the impeachment trial of President Yoon Seok-yeol expected to be announced as early as this week, police are considering a ban on the release of firearms.
According to the police on the 11th, after the impeachment date is set, the National Police Agency will issue instructions to city and provincial police agencies nationwide to prohibit the release of firearms used for exterminating harmful birds and animals.
The government is considering a plan to lower the needles. The aim is to prevent the possibility of terrorism in advance. Under the current law, if a person has a permit to own a firearm or capture harmful birds and animals, the firearm must be stored at the police station.
Even outside of hunting season (November to February of the following year), firearms can be transported for the purpose of scaring away wild boars and birds that damage crops.
When former President Park Geun-hye was impeached in 2017, the police also completely banned the release of firearms used to control harmful birds and animals.
As of last year, a total of 106,678 firearms were held by individuals and corporations with police permission.
On the day of sentencing, the Seoul police are also considering a plan to track the locations of those in possession of firearms, such as hunting rifles and air rifles, in real time using the GPS on their mobile phones.
Police are also considering checking the purpose of use of people who have obtained a license to possess firearms or swords within the past two months, and checking the mental illness history of people who own two or more weapons.
Meanwhile, police have reportedly received information that a local youth group is plotting a terrorist attack on a constitutional justice with the support of a key figure in a conservative organization, and are currently investigating the matter.
