Liao Chenghao, who is dedicated to eradicating organized crime, stated that legalizing gun ownership would only make crime worse, and that Taiwan would absolutely not legalize guns. But, Liao added, executive agencies would have to work harder to confiscate weapons. He also promised to thoroughly implement the anti-crime program, in hopes of rebuilding people's confidence in the government.
