    Statistics are very clear. Look at the USA as an example. States with stricter gun laws and control have the highest rates of crime and violence. States that have more relaxed gun laws and control have the lowest rates of crimes and violence. Unfortunately South African laws are pro criminal pro crime. It makes sense, if upstanding and moral people were administering the country, there would be upstanding and moral laws. SA has criminals administering the country hence the pro criminal pro crime laws. Relax the gun laws and control and stop the unnecessarily long and purposefully frustrating process of acquiring a firearm and watch SA become a crime free nation….but government can’t have that.

      its a double edged sword. so many south Africans are drug addicts and alcoholics and just generally immoral people with little impulse control. relaxing gun laws has to be done responsibly as well cos too many nut crackers around who may do crazy stuff. the solution would be to lengthen prison sentences and to sequester criminal to another province somewhere far removed from civil society. a place like orania but for criminals. the can farm and help pay back to the country by helping with food security.

    Four reasons to own firearms.
    1 as a deterent to a tyranical goverment, thiusand of citzens have been murdered by thier goverments after disarment, nazi germany, russia, combodia the list goes on and on.
    2. The police have been useless at protecting citzens in this country, many are criminals themselves so how do the weak and elderly defend themselves from gangs of attackers.
    3. Hunting and sport shooting employee many thousands and bring in millions of revenue to the country
    4. Citzens famalier with firearms can be quickly and easily be teained to defend a country againt a foreign invasion.
    In conclusion only the deluisional, the wannbe tyrants and the plain stupid thinks disarming law abiding citizens is s good idea.

    The interviewer is very vague on who those are who are encouraging people to give up their firearms. Well let me help him, the Government is in no position to even request people to hand in their legally obtained firearms as the Gov's own infighting resulted in KZN turning into a civil war zone without rule or law during the July riots where the police lost 100% control and the SANDF was a disaster only arriving heavily under equipped and unorganized 3 days after the unrest stopped. The other groups that are encouraging us to hand in our firearms should not even operate in the capacity they are in SA, foreign funded NGO's with zero grassroot support should not be dealing in these matters. Also, the biggest supplier of firearms to gangs are SAPS themselves, so handing in your firearm, will most likely result in your firearm not reaching the smelters as it would have already been taken by a SAPS member and sold to the criminals just like we encountered with the amnesty where 1000's of amnesty arms ended up in criminal hands.
