Participating in some specific contents, delegates said that the provisions of the law on the interpretation of terms on support tools have many overlapping points with the provisions on military weapons. The failure to clearly distinguish between these two concepts leads to difficulties in determining the application of management policies for weapons and support tools. It is recommended that the Drafting Committee review the provisions on these two concepts to clearly distinguish between military weapons and support tools; agree with the provision that high-damage knives are primitive weapons. However, delegates recommended that the Ministry of Public Security must have a circular with specific regulations to avoid wrongful handling of cases of using knives for work, production, and household activities, and it is necessary to specifically distinguish the types of knives classified as primitive weapons based on criteria such as sharpness, size, high damage in the list issued by the Ministry of Public Security, and there should be clear regulations on violations; Propose to amend the regulations on agencies, organizations, and individuals managing and using weapons, explosives, explosive precursors, and supporting tools to ensure full compliance with the prescribed conditions to ensure coverage of all subjects governed by the law; propose to have more specific regulations on the organization, regulations, order, and procedures of units permitted to dig and search for weapons, explosives, etc.
