@GiddieBrown@Derrickpsalm@SIKAOFFICIAL1 Both require the necessary authorization, and I agree on that. My point was simply that being regulated doesn’t make them the same in every legal sense. We’ve made our respective points, so I’ll leave it there.
@GiddieBrown@Derrickpsalm@SIKAOFFICIAL1 I get your point, but your own goat/$2B example proves mine. Two things can be regulated under the law without being legally the same. You’re the one who compared cocaine to guns; saying both require licensing doesn’t make them equivalent.

Section 5 of Ghana’s Arms and Ammunition Act, 1972 (NRCD 9), requires prior written consent to import or export arms and ammunition. GRA also classifies them as restricted imports requiring a Ministry of Interior perm
