The SafeCitizen Campaign

Building hope for law abiding citizens

MEDIA STATEMENT

“CALL FOR SOLIDARITY OF GUN OWNERS”

May 27^th, 2021 – For Immediate Release


Safe Citizen is reaching out to all gun owners. The issue at hand is this:


We’re all facing the same foe. The Amendment Bill released is at best ill-considered and uninformed and at worst represents the political will of the government and its determination to strip South Africans of the opportunity to lawfully own firearms for any purpose.
The various disciplines in shooting sports and gun ownership all have their favourite ‘home’ association. I am not asking you to in any way lessen your support for your association. You are there for a reason and your association and your fellow hunters, sport shooters or self-defence gun owners need you there.
At the same time we need to broaden the fight. Apart from the attack on sport shooters in the new Bill, certain provisions go to the heart of your civil rights – your right to life, your right to be free of violence and your right to an environment that is safe and not harmful to your health.

By joining Safe Citizen (for free) you will add your voice to an organisation that enters this fight at the level of the Bill of Rights. Anyone is welcome at Safe Citizen – not just gun owners – and that makes it unique in this context. Unique because our motto is – a lawfully armed citizen is a safe citizen. We make no bones about the fact that we view the lawful and competent possession of a firearm as the most effective method of self-defence.

Make a choice to be effective in this fight – join us today and encourage others to join you. https://www.safecitizen.co.za/join-us/

Safe Citizen, a civil rights organisation in South Africa, issued a Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) request to the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service demanding the immediate public release of the draft Firearms Control Amendment (FCA) Bill.
Safe Citizen stated the information was being hidden due to a lack of transparency and public participation in the legislative process, which it argues undermines constitutional principles. The organisation is involved in advocacy for law-abiding citizens' rights, particularly concerning firearm ownership and community safety.
Under PAIA, public bodies such as the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service are generally obliged to release requested information unless specific grounds for refusal, such as an "unreasonable disclosure of personal information about a third party," are applicable. If a public body fails to respond to a PAIA request within 30 days, the requester may lodge an internal appeal and then approach the Information Regulator or a court for relief.
More information about the organisation and its activities can be found on the Safe Citizen website.
