That's great news. It was the most rational and balanced article on the subject that I have seen for a long time and the flaky race baiting part of it was clearly attributed to the delightful Ms Kirsten rather than being stated as an opinion by the journo. R5 bucks says she will have so much fun at the GOF event that she'll face a disciplinary hearing for being a far right activist when she's back in the BBC hive.

Great work team GOSA. I wouldn't have bet a buck on an article like that coming out let alone from the Beeb. The fact that it did is powerful medicine imo.
Re: Article: "South Africa's deadly love affair with guns"
As much as they are trying to bring evil white men into the phrase I cannot see the article as being anything but positive.
They state the fact that woman and parents are trying to take control of their personal security and that of their families. They state that private firearm ownership comes with responsible training and competence, they state that the police are to blame for it, they state that it’s gotten much worse under the term of the anc.
The reporter is not in a position to write someone openly good about firearms but the evidence is quite clear for anybody to read. You cannot state how bad things are and that people are doing what they must to deal with it and turn around saying it’s best to die and not act, so they did not(cant) say that. People are in need of protection and they take it upon themselves to provide it.
Sometimes despite whatever bias a person holds the evidence in front of you is all that is needed to dispel their bias.
SA’s “deadly love affair” with guns is just a bait click, but when you present facts often you find unintended consequences which counters your narrative.

Dude. I am on a US-based small group of Land-Rover owners (I think there are about 20 of us on the old-style mailing list). This came at me this morning...https://www.gunsite.co.za/forums/ima...AAAElFTkSuQmCC

If you could secure the services of a non-binary gimp as GOSA spokesthing no-one would be able to write a negative word.
