Re: GFS Untruth alert! Daily Maverick
I commented on the Daily Mavericks Facebook account - search Daily Mavericks guns to find the article.

Re: GFS Untruth alert! Daily Maverick
Safe storage laws are designed to make it difficult for legal owners (who habitually abide by the law) to defend themselves in the event of an attack, making them fearful of owning a firearm. Thus, when the attack has happened, the report is: killed even though she had a gun - see guns are dangerous and you are four times more likely to have it used against you.
The second, and more pressing intention is to make sure legal gun ownership is placed out of reach for the majority. Most can barely afford a gun, let alone a SABS accredited safe. the safe must be attached to an immovable structure (floor or wall), which immediately means you cannot legally install a safe in a shack.
the people most exposed to crime are the people most keenly denied access.

You can actually legally fit a safe in a shack.
You just have to fit it onto a poured concrete slab

Re: GFS Untruth alert! Daily Maverick
Almost accurate but not quite. It can be attached to a concrete block in the ground. Block to be a minimum size and weight but dunno what that is. A concrete block is a lot easier and cheaper than a slab on which to construct a shack. But Zoo Keeper is right - all these impositions were designed to make firearm ownership more onerous and expensive - nothing to do with crime or public safety. But that has been the motivation of gun control always, everywhere, without exception.

Re: GFS Untruth alert! Daily Maverick
My apologies, I didn't mean you had to pour a full concrete floor, just an IIRC 1mt x 1mt slab

Re: GFS Untruth alert! Daily Maverick
Maybe we should ask GFSA why they are so silent about the Malema incident?
