Using DIY Guns to Fight Rapists




Danger Room has published a fascinating article by David Axe about a farming community who have organized themselves into a militia to defend themselves from the marauding remnants of the Lord’s Resistance Army rebel group ...

But the men of Obo knew they needed more than courage and manpower. Too poor for military-grade weapons or even the kind of firearms American hunters take for granted, Obo set about building an arsenal of homemade, single-barrel shotguns loaded with hand-packed shells.
And to relay intelligence gathered by the scouts on their twice-daily patrols, Obo’s only radio DJ, a young man named Arthur, donated air time on his short-range FM transmitter. Between music sets, Arthur repeated information on LR movements gathered by the scouts, giving the few thousand Obo residents within range of his radio time to flee when the rebels approached.

I lived in Uganda for two years and up North where the LRA marauds there is almost zero protection - when the army moves in they are sometimes just as bad as having the LRA around.

Good for these poor people for standing up and fighting for their own security.

Natalie Jaynes

Western Cape Regional Director and Acting National Representative:
Gun Free South Africa

Natalie Jaynes regularly receives abusive emails and late-night phone calls. It's part of a low-level campaign by pro-gun ownership groups to silence her organisation.

"We are not just an anti-gun group," Jaynes says. "We have a radical vision that one day there will be no more guns in this country." There are approximately four million guns in circulation in South Africa, Jaynes says, and the country is a significant arms exporter.

"We also have one of the highest rates of gun violence in the world, and the highest rate of gun-related femicide."

Gun Free South Africa lobbies government to align the Firearms Control Act and the Criminal Procedure Act more closely with the letter and spirit of the Constitution.

Approximately 32 000 guns were handed in to the authorities during the most recent amnesty window. A drop in the ocean, perhaps, but Jaynes says: "Even one gun taken out of circulation is a victory for society." -- Lionel Faull
