Them: “civilian firearms are feeding criminal stocks, and must be more tightly regulated!”
Except the data doesn’t say that at all.
Quite the opposite, in fact.
I went through all SAPS annual reports over the past decade to compare the number of civilian firearms stolen/lost and recovered each year.
According to this, the police recovered 377 more guns than were reported stolen during the period.
@IECSouthAfrica The provincial legislature results are all still broken. Only national results are functioning, but provincial share of the national are also broken.
@FirearmPolicy The OHM is 100% for Liberty and Self-Reliance. To live that, you need to have the right and the means to protect yourself. If you don't, you are a liability to others. The OHM wants to see strong, sovereign citizens.
After a recent very disappointing article about lawful firearm ownership in SA by an armchair academic commentator, I wish to make it abundantly clear that I believe more South Africans (if comfortable), should be lawfully armed and well-trained.
In most cases you are your own first and last line of defence.
Get lawfully armed, get trained, be ready. Lawfully armed citizens shouldn’t ever be ostracised by armchair wokes, lawfully armed citizens are assets to community safety.
I would rather take the risk (which is utterly limited) of facing malicious consequences, than witnessing my family paying the price for my cowardice and/or lack of pro-active security actions.
The @Our_DA is a good supporter of firearm rights and ownership. We just wish they would be a little more detailed on what they actually want in policy
There's showing how absolutely out of touch with South African society you are, and then there's @Rise_Mzansi
You couldn't have done more to alienate voters than this.

@RiseMzansiKZN has invited @GunFreeSA as a keynote speaker at one of their events. Firearm owners, take note of who this party is, and the vote for someone else.
The @Our_DA#manifesto2024 says they will introduce electronic processes to firearm licencing.
We appreciate this teeny bit more attention than usual, but we really want the FCA and CFR abolished. We will even help writing new legislation!
South Africa urgently needs a tax reform. Taxes in South Africa are not only way too high, it's also way too complicated. On top of that, government isn't doing what we're paying them to do, so we have to pay double to get the private sector to do it.
