It is Biblical

He said: “he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one”. (Luke 22:36) …

Since way back it has been a right to obtain a weapon with which to defend yourself.

 

No Defense.

On Friday 21 May, the South African government published changes envisioned to the firearms act. If passed this law would no longer make it possible to use self defense as a reason for owning a firearm. It would also also make it illegal to reload any ammunition.

These changes are over and above the current draconian laws that are already in place.

The minister of police, Beke Cele, has already stated that the police are not able to fulfill their constitutional duties of protecting the population from previous bodily harm. So why are they trying to stop citizens from protecting themselves and their loved ones? The excuse of removing illegal firearms from circulation by making it impossible for law abiding citizens to own firearms is ludicrous. Criminals will always be able to obtain firearms on the black market. Whether obtained from the police, SANDF, or smuggled across our open borders these firearms continue to flood the market.

Could it be that the ANC is planning to move South Africa into a dictatorship? Then it makes sense to me to disarm the population. Then there would no uprising against the dictators and their armed forces. Or is it that the ANC still fears the few remaining whites in the country? Is it a legacy of what the old SADF did to the ANC during the Bush wars, are they scared that their arses could be kicked again by a few old men armed with handguns obtained for self defense, and a few rifles used for the annual hunting of meat for biltong?

It is also a concern that the police have admitted that there are nearly 250,000 applications scattered all over the floors at the Firearm Registry. Now by passing this new law the majority of the applications become invalid, because they are mostly for self defense. What an easy way to clear the backlog even though there are people out there that have been waiting for two or more years to hear about their firearm application.

The police have admitted that some firearms applications have been chewed by rats while being stacked in passages! Could it have been done by some large, two legged rats trying to reduce their work load?
