An Italian mayor has vowed to pay citizens €250 towards the cost of a gun after accusing the country’s government of failing to protect ‘honest Italians’ with its ‘jail-emptying laws’.

Gianluca Buonanno, the Northern League mayor of Borgosesia in Piedmont, northern Italy, announced his plans for a new firearm fund on Facebook.

He said he was doing so to allow people to ‘defend themselves from delinquents, who the government is privileging’.

Buonanno, who serves as an MEP, has also asked the European Commission to set up a similar fund. The €250 being offered is about 30 per cent of the cost of a small pistol in Italy, according to La Repubblica.
