My guess is that their one way street narrative has got a lot more people driving in the opposite direction of late. People who I have known to dislike guns for 20 or more years have been all over me in the last two weeks keen as mustard to find out the hows, wheres and whyfores of acquiring them. If you could legally get your hands on a firearm in SA in a timeframe of a few months rather than a year or more I don't think there would be any available to buy by this point.
