Re: How do we as South Africans change the way we license firearms
AND WHEREAS the increased availability and abuse of firearms and ammunition has contributed significantly to the high levels of violent crime in our society;
AND WHEREAS the Constitution places a duty on the State to respect, protect, promote and fulfil the rights in the Bill of Rights;"
To paraphrase it loosely: Too many guns and bullets killing too many people so the State has to do its job and protect the people by controlling the proliferation of said instruments of death and decreasing availability.
That is gradual civilian disarmament in my opinion.

Re: How do we as South Africans change the way we license firearms
Availability does not equal abuse, and abuse does not equal high levels of violent crime. The gun lobby has to prove this to be factually untrue. If this is untrue, the basis for civilian disarmament is fatally undermined. Then it is simply exposed for what it always has been, total control over the subjects.

Re: How do we as South Africans change the way we license firearms
This is something that gfsa are quite boastful about.
The underlying premise of the fca was to incrementally make things more difficult for owners with each set of new amendments,eventually that hardly any can eventually meet the criteria for re-licensing requirements,forcing you to dispose of/hand in your guns with the each 5/10yr cycle.
Failing this,like we had with the last proposed amendments failure to launch,the other component being that the bureaucratic mess was also intended to crash the system due to the additional burden of "renewal cycles" like we see now.
So without this renewal mechanism,it effectively kills the fca! Get that right...
